What a good reading thread
So I just started using buddy products. I used to use Priox on wow before he stopped. I now use buddy for wow and D3. I have been botting total for about 2 years. No bans at all and here is why....
I don't bot for profit. The only reason I started botting D3 was because the AH flew out of control with items prices. They have stuff listed for 1 billion gold....WTF is that! and the RMAH which was a stupid stupid idea by blizz has junk listed for hundreds.
I'm still not trying to make money I just want to keep up.
Also as I have posted before, I think it is just the luck of the draw. I do not think there is anything that makes you get caught. There are people on here who bot 24/7 and have not been banned. Others bot for an hour and get smacked. I bot for like 12 a day, and then at times take a 2 day break. Then I'm back at it. I don't use AGB, and I only farm sarth. I have 1 account, 1 bot. but I have hand raised and play all of my other 60's. I think a GM just sits at a computer looks at who is in a game and picks a name to look at. There have to be thousands of games for them to review. If they get a hit on you, then they go balls deep in research. If you look legit they move on.
I fee like the profiles are what gets there attention, after that its what your account history looks like that gets you banned. Anything out of the outside of normal progression = banned, i think if they see people trying to make money with the game and not play it=banned.
On the same token, if they look at my account. I gf, buy more gf gear. I have other toons with ok gear but never sold anything on the RMAH. So they move on. That could all be warped belief, but I have not been banned yet,**knocks on wood**
