Want to Start Botting Again

[Jechob]

A few days before the release of 5.2 (The Sunday before, I believe) I was perm banned for "Exploitative Account Activity: Hacks" or something along those lines. I appealed and got my account back, and haven't botted since seeing as it's the only account I have at the moment. But now I'm wanting to get back into botting and was wondering what the chances of me getting banned again are? Since I've been banned already, does Blizzard have some sort of watch on me such as how much ore I'm farming or how much I'm mailing/selling/etc.? Or would I have the same chances of getting banned as I did before?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

The chance of being banned is always "present" while botting. If you're afraid of the hammer, play legit.
Bans and suspensions are monitored in a single file on each account; can they see that you've been banned before, yes; do they use previous account flags as justification? yes.

Try to be less conspicuous while botting and you may lengthen the time between your removals. I'd suggest, also, not botting on an account you do not wish to, potentially, lose.


PS: If you place line breaks in your messages they are more easily read.

Never bot what you don't want to lose.
I must of posted that a hundred times today.

In my opinion, I don't think you should. I was permanently banned a few days ago and could not appeal it successfully. I believe it was because I was already permanently banned about a year ago, but I had it appealed.

BUT, it's up to you. I believe it would be harder to appeal if you do get banned again like I did. Don't count your luck too much.

Best is probably to have a farmer on multiple accounts and have them log in at different times so one farmer doesn't log too many hours online. I do believe there is some set parameters that once fulfilled will result in your account being flagged or suspended/banned on the spot. And time online doing one specific activity may be one of them. But who knows.
