I botted EVERYWHERE. I botted my Druid from 60 to 85, my DK from 58 to 75 and i botted some BGs and I farmed with Mining and Herbing a bit in every Zone and nothing did ever happen...
I read much about uldum bans in this forum and thats why i never botted there. today i tried it our for 3 or 4 hours. After i woke up from a short nap my account was banned for 48 Hours... Banned for third party Programs.

yeah... now im asking you guys... what should i do? wait 48 Hours or phone the support?
And what should i do after the ban? Should i stop botting or should i only stop botting in uldum?


Edit: Banned because a GM saw me botting in Uldum. Warning: Uldum is watched!

Try a phone call, you dont have nothing to lose m8.

Hmm are you sure that i cant be banned for more hours or get a perma? :/ mspazz wrote in his guide to not ask for unbanning when you are not perma banned.

Edit: and what should i say to them? that i was banned after i woke up or that i got banned during farming?

 

[Swizzie]

banned during farming......if you must phone.

I simply don't bot at uldum anymore. I see that there are many clueless legit players that dont understant a s**t about botting, but they can recognize (and report) an uldum bot... Better leave uldum alone. It's not the "goldmine" that it used to be. It seems more a "banmine" to me now. You can farm elementium (not as efficient) at twilight highlands or even at deepholm (not efficient too).

Uldum really is the place to be banned Sorry about the bad luck mate, i would give them a ring though.

Why are they clueless?
We exploit the game and they are the ones who suffer

To OP:
I would ride out the storm and hope nothing else happens
Sorry to hear about your ban, lets hope its "only" 48 hours

 

[Vinc009]

Thanks guys! i will never bot in uldum again -.-

But... should i phone or write a ticket or wait 48 hours? :/

 

[Spartanmfot]

Maybe wait out the 48 Hour periodic ban, but if it is to happen again i would phone. Aint gunna do any harm for just trying.

 

[Vinc009]

I phoned them and they said that a GM saw me using a cheat or hack program and i should wait 48 hours :/ hm so they are watching Uldum for 100%!!!

now im kinda afraid.... what do you think... is my account flagged and watched after the ban? can i still bot with questing and farming (and should i use bouncing mode?) in other zones?

 

[Vinc009]

No Suggestions? :/

 

[wownerds]

Warning: Uldum is watched!

I think this has been around for quite some time.

Just call them

 

[Vinc009]

wow dude you are funny! i pissed my pants! not.

this warning was for people who dont know this.

 

[wownerds]

Just kidding, sorry for your loss. Just be more careful the next time. Things happen, just learn from it.

 

[napii]

do you get a GM whisper before the ban?
afaik HB is undetected, so they have to guess you're using a bot and (maybe) try to "test" you per whisper?

if they just ban people in Uldum because they look "bottish" I should farm legit but just look like a bot, blizz trolling and than raging if I get a ban :S

There are precautions every botter takes to avoid bans or being noticed. Basic logic when it comes to Uldum isnt that is unbottable. But that 1: it shouldnt be AFK botted 2: It shouldnt be farmed longer than a normal human would farm it.

Following paths? No big deal you can fly circles all day long. But landing on nodes perfectly, not attacking the other faction for stealing your node, not saying anything to the same faction for stealing your node, and farming the same circle for 2 hours plus? Nah.
Unless you are an asian goldfarmer that prides doing things by hand, the average gamer would no way in hell sit in one zone and farm for 4 Hours +.

One thing I can recommend is I believe there is a profile maybe in profession buddy? That allows you to switch zones after X amount of time. Believe it is called Multi... something Lol.
Try that one out maybe to break up the monotony of the same location or zone for too long.

Sorry about your loss, but from MY perspective you brought this on yourself by botting in a "hot zone" and not taking necessary precautions. (Which you are obviously worried about per your posts of paranoia.)

IMO with common botting practices if you have been banned, take a break from botting for awhile. OR bot only when you are AT the pc. SO even if they ban you they will get an IMMEDIATE ticket as to why you were banned as it was YOU (technically not) playing.

Hope you find this helpful man.

I realllllllly do not think they sit in Uldum watching people

When they say a GM watched you, he was probably following up on a ticket from a player report so came to check you out, watched you for abit for "bottish" stuff, then probably even whispered you too.

Well obviously xD
But doesnt mean there isnt a chance they dont sit there afk :O Haha WHile they eat their hotpockets and drink their soda.

a ban is always perma. the other "thing" is a suspension. but i never heard of a 48h suspension. afaik there are only 72h suspensions.

 

[S_o_M]

Uldum dangerous?


When do people learn it, Uldum is the worst shit ever.
