new to HB but not to botting

[ihateleveling]

Hey all, I am new to HB, friends turned me on to the program. So far from what I have been able to use it I love it. I used to bot back in the day of WoW glider (TBC) but that was only to farm for pets, and I Always was right there at the computer never walking away, always watching (While listening to tv or music). I would even stop the bot, mount and hover while I went to go to the bathroom, eat, smoke, or to have a conversation in the guild chat.

So Far Ive been using the questing bot and the combat bot to assist me in leveling what will be my 12th lv 90. The other 11- All by hand.

Clearly I Don't want to go through the mind droning boredom of it all again.

I was wondering if any one has links to good threads here on the forums that I should be familiar with or any tips hints ect ect to ensure a ban free use of Honor buddy.

Ive been using HB now for a couple of days, and have been doing pretty much the same thing as above... being careful about it, taking 5-10 minute breaks with each hour of questing (Cause HUMANS need afk or break time every hour right? lol). Any more pointers would be greatly appreciated.


Also my friends were telling me that the gather buddy is extremely dangerous right now because blizz looks at the nodes per hour... but that's really all they told me. Do we know what that magic bannable number could be?

Any who thanks a bunch guys, I look forward to becoming part of this community and getting to call some of you friends.

/allow the helpful and not helpful along with the bashing commence.

Welcome!

In terms of avoiding a ban. You can read the stickies in the Ban Reports section, as well as going through some of the bans to see if anyone gave any good advice.
If you come across an issue in your botting experience I urge to you go through the Help Desk before posting a thread, as it will probably fix most of your problems. However if it doesn't help, make sure to post in the correct Support section and attach a log (see signature) that contains the problem.

In terms of Gatherbuddy's safeness, I can agree Blizzard has stepped up their game on bans from it. However it's probably more related to higher GM activity and player reports. Using custom profiles will help you, and staying away from the most populated areas. I advise using a druid to perform gathering, but if not don't a large mount. Also, keep the time played similar to how a real player would, 2-3 hour sessions at most id say before some kind of break then repeating in a different area. No magic numbers

Before asking help though I highly recommend the giant search box at the top.

1) Download Kick's questing profile
2) Download Shutup AML
3) Download Ultimate PVP plugin
4) Download HBrelogger
5) Read up on all the FAQs and guides posted on the threads where you download these from
6) Log in to your character via 32-bit wow, open HB up and do your settings (ie. Mail recipient, food, drinks, mount, etc)
7) Set up Plugins, especially Shutup AML as it will help reply annoying whispers that you normally wouldn't respond to
8) Use HBrelogger to "randomize" your playing times, don't play for too many consecutive hours. I try for 3 hours play, 1 hour break, 3 hours play, 1 hour break etc.
9) Run your wow/bot from Hbrelogger and be amazed at your character leveling by itself
