Something to think about when the Bot Is back working, Just a thought. +Rep

[osgamingmmo]

We all know blizzard can notice honorbuddy is down and well they just honestly know because the forums are public. I feel that for the super hardcore botters and farmers if you go nuts the second the bot is online again farming 24 hours a day and never taking a break will have a higher chance of being banned, blizzard can notice well Account A farmed for 16 hours or more a day every single day until honorbuddy went down, account has not been online much if at all and account A has been doing this for months and months, but now honorbuddy is back online Account A is at it again, BAN. Before you go blizzard can't ban you for this, blizzards TOS reads basicly they can ban you if they feel like it just because.

I am just saying be smart and do not go crazy with farming once it is back online, maybe farm 3-4 hours a day for the first week or so it is back online or not at all to be safe. Because I can almost guarantee blizzard will be watching and is waiting for it to go back online because it is primetime to catch botters in masses because the activity will pick up.

I think most of you with a brain get what I am trying to say. I personally will be sitting idle for at least a few days to a week after. I mean I been playing 10-12 hours a day without the bot raiding, farming, whatever. Just saying use your brain and if you really want to keep your account be careful when it first comes back online.

I know we are all eager to get back to business and farming but is being careless really worth loosing an account over? I make it sound a bit extreme but this is a nice chance for blizzard to notice Account A's change before the bot went down and now its back up Account A is at its normal scedule again.

Some Rep if you agree please, Just trying to be helpful.

Very good point. Personally, I am trying to not go all out now that I can farm again. Seems like it would be a good idea to heed your words =D

Lol, pretty sure they have been using GB for the last 2-3 days .

 

[Harmacintyre]

agreed, GB2 has already been up a while since thursday i think, maybe even before that wed, idk

 

[Cocaine]

GB2 has been up and is the most risky.

But I need to farm 10000000000 stacks of elementium ore so I can sell them on the ah for just above what the bars vendor for! Its imporatant! lol personally I am not going to bother gather botting until mist hit outside of maybe like 1-2 hours every few days for mats needed to get glyph dailies or level professions on alts

Seriously - Blizz isnt sitting around waiting for alot of bots to come online. There are other bots working atm to. And besides - if blizz could tell who is botting - they would have banned us all a long time ago. They cant.
But offcourse - take caution like allways, "bot like you would play" - and there is no problem what so ever.

Maxel you should check the AH and look at the herbs price especially BC/WotLK ones, I'll make some random statistic and say that 75% of botters probbly use honorbuddy.

Probably - but you will not get banned for posting normal amounts of mats on the ah. Blizzard hasn`t got a radar that can tell if a botter is "playing the game" or posting mats. But if you post like a mad man, hundreds of stacks - surfing Uldum along with the other peeps for hours and hours, chances are you will get reported - and banned. But if you bot like you would play - you will not get banned.

A nice place to check prices of everything.

There is no way for Blizzard to be sure that it wasn't just a coincidence that you stopped farming when Honorbuddy went down. Maybe you had some IRL shit come up and you couldn't make it on.

They would have no evidence that you bot, just a reason to suspect that you're botting. They'd need to get actual reports from players (or the Warden) before actioning your account.
