Total HB Noob. Critique my plan pls.

Hello everyone,

So I've recently been kicking around the idea of starting to use HB just to support my main account. I'm not trying to be super greedy, basically all I want to do is farm WoD BoE's and maybe some materials to sell to make money. Nothing fancy, I'm not trying to corner the herb or leather markets or anything. Just some consistent cash flow for my main account nothing outrageous just enough to live comfortable and buy anything I want / need with no worries.

I've done my share of forum stalking and I know nothing is 100% when it comes to safety and its a risk I have to accept etc. I've done research on VPN's and all that but I have a sort of unique scenario and I'd like to get your opinions.

Main Account - I use my desktop rig for my main account ONLY. My main will run on that PC which is on my HOME NETWORK which is a cable broadband service.

Bot Account - Just ONE bot and I will use a laptop which will connect to entirely different ISP / Wifi from a hotel across the street from my house.

From the research I've done I would think this is a pretty safe setup as long as I bot effectively at off peak times and I'm on a pretty low pop server. I plan to mostly run it when I sleep after I watch it enough to make sure it's doing what it should be doing. Let me know what you guys think about this setup and what profiles etc you think would help me accomplish the goals of my bot. My concern is keeping my main account in the clear so I plan on transferring things via the auction house by selling different things to my bot account and make them look like as normal of transactions as possible.

Thanks in advance for any input and Happy New Year! <3

If you're going to have the 2 accounts interact alot, you're gonna get banned at some point - unless you're planning very well, how much to bot, when to bot.
The same cycle of botting from 23:00 to 08:00 or whatever your sleeping schedule is will simply get you banned sooner or later; a more flexible plan. And when - if - you're trading items from one account to other, you should do it properly: Through the AH or an actual trade where you get gold to your main - just trading items for nothing will eventually catch on as suspicious behavior.

I've botted multiple accounts on same pc with no VPN or anything. Only one account of mine has ever been banned even though my main account created the guild that my bot account did all the auctions and gold depositing to. In my exp I got banned off of player reports or from simply being bot like and auction house/farming on a scheduled cycle. My main account botted with glider back in the day and now uses honorbuddy and I have never even been temp banned one time. Basically I don't think they will ban two accounts based off IP addresses.
