New user looking for some advice/tips

[Pluto]

Hi, guys... so I'm totally new to this whole thing, so I have some questions.

1) GB or HB?

The price is similar, HB seems to have more functionality, although I like to level up my chars myself, I find it faster, so I would only need a bot for farming. BG's seem like a viable option as well, but I feel that there is a higher chance of being reported if something goes wrong.

2) Online shop says 1 session.

Does that mean 1 session of WoW or 1 session of usage, like I can only run it once?

3) I know northrend herbs/ores are the most expensive, but would it make sense to use a lvl 60 without BC & WotLK to try to farm mithril?

4) I have 2 accounts registered on my name, but I wouldn't wanna risk my main account. Am I risking my main account in such case as well?

I was thinking of setting up parental controls on my 2nd account to pretend it was my kid who was doing something illegal in case that happens. Also, I'm planning to run the bot on my laptop, which obviously has a different MAC address.

5) Last but not least, I would appreciate any tips for a beginner, i.e. things you wish you knew when you started botting. Oh and if it helps, I'm not planning to sell any gold, just planning to pile up a nice amount of gold for Cataclysm, for my own use. Would it be cheaper just to buy it maybe?!?

Thanks in advance!

1) HB is for leveling,grinding and honor farming while GB is for flying gathering only
2)1 session means you can only use the bot only with 1 account at once
3)Check your prices on your realm, I just leveled mining and it usually gets stucked at 229 skill, you can make load of gold from this.
4)Yes, there is a chance to get banned on both
5)Bot in moderation with pauses

How's that? I'm not planning to do anything against EULA on my main account...

If you do not send gold from your bot to your main, and you don't play 'em at the same time on the same pc chances are significantly smaller.

What if I send mats only? I.E. ink after milling herbs... does Bliz monitor that too or only gold?

Well, if your accounts are linked, that means if they catch -you- botting on one account, then they have found a reason to end your license, and therefore would terminate both accounts to make sure you, the one they caught botting, won't play anymore, or atleast until you buy another account under a different name. Also, I'm pretty sure they decline credit cards, names, adresses or any of the information you used on the account that was banned if you try to set up another. I may be wrong, this is just my experience.

1) They are different things, one is for leveling/honor, the other is for gathering (and will make more money)
2) 1 Session means 1 logged in character
3) You can, but unless the prices skyrocket, you're better off doing Northrend
4) There is always a risk, however small it may be. Really the only way to ensure safety is a different machine, different isp, different payment and personal info, and no contact between the two accounts whatsoever. That's overkill though, as you can break some of those and still have a very low risk of being banned unless you really piss off an account manager.
5) Buying it is obviously the easiest method, but in my opinion much less fun (and probably more expensive). I enjoy botting because I enjoy watching the characters act of their own accord and do the things that I program them to do without me having to control them. Getting 20k/week on the side is just a bonus.
