Need some advice before buying a botting account

[Godfather]

Hey there,

I'm going to buy a botting account and I need some advice. My questions are:
1. Is my main wow account in any danger if my botting acc gets busted, and the two wow accounts are on the same battle.net ID?
2. If not, can I transfer a botted character from the bot account to my main account without any risk for my main account.
3. Is it risky to RaF the bot account with the main?

Thanks a lot in advance =)

1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes

There is ALWAYS a risk when botting.

God father dont make them on the same ID at all, i have just kinda started botting and i have just purchased a battlechest for ?7 it comes with free 30 days, gunna farm cata mats so i am leveling atm but i am still not going to go crazy with botting as i am still using the same IP ect as my main account so they are still kinda linked.

Always a risk buddy

1. Do not bot what you aren't willing to lose.
2. Do not associate your bot accounts with you main in anyway if you aren't willing to lose both. You may still lose both anyway.
3. Even if you bot on separate accounts, with separate names and payment info, you could still lose both.
4. Even if you use separate physical hardware for each account, you can still lose both.
5. Even if you use separate IP's for each account, you could still lose both.

I have personally known people that have lost multiple accounts given each example above.

If you bot, you may lose everything. There will always be a danger of losing everything. There is no one single piece of advice anyone can give you that will make your "Main account" safe once you start botting.

is your bored account going to be to get high level characters on your main or do you plan to farm with it? Also will you be boting the main after creating the second account.

Thanks for all of the answers guys, really helped me out. Still open for more tips though ^^

I was planning to use the botting account for leveling up characters, transferring them to the main account and then not bot on them anymore, then use other characters on the bot acc to farm gathers etc. I understand there is always a risk, but is it big? I've seen quite a lot of posts about getting banned on one of the Bnet accounts but not the other, and not that many showing the opposite.

And if I don't use the same Bnet, but RAF the account to get the mount on my main, is there any (bigger than 5%) risk of getting my main acc into trouble? (Might add that I'm a decent liar, and could probably reverse a minor ban ^^)

Again, thanks for all of the answers, really appreciating the friendly users here =)

I don't think any of us could reasonably give you a percentage of the chances of being banned if you do "this" or don't do "that".

I have been botting for quite a while with HB (a lot longer than I have been a forum account holder) and I have only had 1 account banned. I leveled a druid to 90, farmed my butt off and deposited everything into guild bank, or sent to banker toon for AH posting.
Everything on that account (Name, payment, contact) was separate from my main accounts and other botting accounts. The only difference was that I farmed on it a lot. I got lazy and began to level another toon on it, and left it AFK over night. In the morning, the ban email listed my questing toon as the toon that was the reason for the ban. I probably got stuck on something and got reported.

Aside from that... I bot my main account all the time. I bot RaF accounts in the same group with my main. I have 2 guilds that have bots in them. One for banking and one for the benefits of a lvl 25 guild with all the perks.

The only thing I can tell you about my personal experience of only losing 1 account, is that I bot my characters like I would play by hand. I don't farm excessively. I don't even farm every week. I do all the random stuff I would normally do if I only had one account, and as if only played by hand.
What I mean is, some days I farm rep for something. Some days I run LFR/Flex Raid. Some days I level new toons, somtimes in RaF groups & sometimes I PvP.

The one consistent thing I do -- I'm always watching my bots. I never completely AFK them anymore.

Good Luck!

**Edit**
Don't take this to mean I only play one bot at a time. I often have 4-5 bots running at a time. I just have each of them doing different things all the time. I'm not just sitting there farming non-stop on all of them all the time.

The lvls is how high your going to level the pair to. After all levels are granted to your main account you'll have 9 80's. I didn't include Deathknight and Warrior into my leveling characters because I already have them. Also I used so many Paladins on the RAF because there easiest for tanking. I paired them up to mostly be Tank+Healer but odviously some have to be Tank+DPS.
