Safest way of using AH

[KREWKON]

Hey guys --

So recently I purchased six copies of Legion and have all my chars at 110 farming in Suramar/Azsuna/Valshara. I use HB Relogger to make sure I am rotating scripts continuously. My worry is not for these accounts as I consider them full suicide accounts. My questions basically is what's the safest way of taking the materials they are farming and auction housing them? Would it be to buy a 5$ vanilla account, use that to deposit/sell on the AH and in turn toss the gold into the gbank for my main to grab?

ISO Other peoples opinions of how you guys protect your main but still use the profit for your main, thank you!

I'm making quite a bit of gold -- Between 80-100k/day/char -- Note I am not botting them 24/7. More like 18/6 and they're only 790ish ilvls.

All on their own battle net accounts away from my main.

Currently I am putting the mats into the gbank and auctioning from my main but I have stopped that a few days ago as I feel I could still add another layer of protection with another 5$ suicide auction account.

How do you get a $5 suicide account?

How do you even sell on AH? Last time I check, ProfessionBuddy was broken.

I purchase the battle chest only from other websites which I wont specify as it might break forum rules.

I don't have the bot automatically auction stuff for me. If you read my post it said that I put stuff into the Gbank and used my main to manually auction house it.

Well there is always the chance, personally I have that $5 extra layer or protection.
I have Farmers in Guild A
Transfer toon in Guild A
Transfer toon uses AH and mails gold to Transfer toon B which is on the same account
Toon B deposits gold in Guild B bank
Main account removes gold from Guild B bank

so you are earning 80-100k a day, per farmer.
how much gold do you need on your main?!?!?
honestly, being greedy will get you caught. farm what you need and shut it down. farm for a week or two then dont log in for a couple weeks. there is no reason to farm 7 days a week on 6 accounts unless you are selling for profit. and if thats the case, then shut down your main and focus on making money. too many people have been in your shoes and lost their ass.

dont be a dummy, dont be greedy. there is no way to protect your main from the banhammer if you interact in any way with a botted account. its just a matter of time that you are running honorbuddy on your main. honorbuddy is like heroin, it feels so good, you just gotta get one more bag.

so damn true!

do not be greedy... vender junk and sell cheap in trade . so you dont make 80-100k a day.. you make 60-80k by selling cheap. safer to make less , then to over use the AH

Why would I purchase so many legion accounts if I wasn't getting rid of gold? I understand the risk of my main entirely and accept that risk. I won't be boohooing like 3/4 of the users if I do get rekt I was just looking for suggestions or views on how other people do it. I would like to stack up a few mill on my main account before using slave accounts. I suppose I'll go the 5$ battle chest for the extra layer. The legion accounts I paid for I expect to be banned entirely so I will run the shit out of them until they get banned. I'm not selling gold from my main but simply want to stack a nice amount on it before I start using other accounts to get rid of the gold

when they discover the farmers, they will do a cursory investigation and quickly discover your $5 account. and its easy peasy to track it to your main account since it has minimal ingame interaction with any other players. your $5 'layer of security' would be better off spent on beer.

Lol.... So how about lets spend more ? I mean obviously there is people out there doing this and being successful at it so there is obviously a way to do so. Why you're so quick to dismiss someone asking questions to the people that do successfully do this I'm not entirely sure. Would I be better off just leaving all of my gold I want for my main account in my gbank? I can create an entirely new guild just for my other transactions.

 

[frosticus]

as a fellow buddy, i can offer you this advice.

I mean obviously there is people out there doing this and being successful

without knowing how many people are actually doing this and what percentage of people who are successful we cannot make sound decisions based on this information alone.

Why you're so quick to dismiss someone asking questions to the people that do successfully do this

to only ask the successful people is no way to get useful information. i can ask one guy who won at the casino his methods of winning, but that in no way means those methods are valid or will yield the same results for everyone. and i am only informing you that your question is unanswerable by anyone.

Would I be better off just leaving all of my gold I want for my main account in my gbank?

i stand by my previous advice. farm what you need and then stop. if you truly value your main account you will listen to people here on the forums when they tell you, botting will get you banned, there is no safer method of botting, botting is botting.

I disagree. It is not as simple as that, it is akin to saying that committing any crime will get you in jail, all the time, with it being only a matter of time of you getting caught.

And we all know that is not true. When you see people robbing stores, banks, scamming, etc... they do so because they know the rewards outweigh the risks AND that going to jail is a POSSIBILITY, not a certainty.

Might be a crude example comparing botting to crime, but what I mean is that not everyone that is botting or botted before, will get caught and have their account banned.

There will always be "The Lucky Fish" that does not get trapped in the net.

 

[frosticus]

valid counterpoint. 'botting will get you banned' is a bit harsh, i agree. but sometimes, thats what it takes to get the point across.
'there is no 'safer' method of botting' meaning any method of obfuscation can be defeated by blizz. so there is no guarantee anything will work
and the last 'botting is botting', farming, CR, dungeons, blizz doesnt discriminate, banhammer hits all equally.

There will always be "The Lucky Fish" that does not get trapped in the net.

there have never been truer words than these.

and i hate to get nitpicky, but your comparison of botting to robbing someone is truer than you think. the distinction i made between 'continuous botting' being more dangerous than 'hit it and quit it botting' is much like the difference between robbing someone and running away, and robbing someone and standing around till the cops show up.

his '$5 account layer of security' is much like buying a mask to rob a bank, then spending too long trying to steal more money. in the end, the mask isnt going to stop a cops bullets.

I don't think you will find the answer in this thread you are looking for, but my experience has been:

Farmer gets banned for farming -> accounts with any connection should be safe (Gbank, credentials, IP, same PC, etc. )
Gold selling account gets banned for selling gold -> On a lucky day, only the gold selling account gets banned. On a bad day any account sharing a connection will get hit as well. Including chars in the same botting guild.

listen to people like frost we have been around for awhile we all know what we are talking about he gave you what he thought is the best answer he could either take what he gives you and move on or dont and find out on your own what happens. Ive lost so many accounts doing what you are doing and that was before the major waves so gl.
