What is the best way to gather gold ?

[Big__smoke]

Since mining and herbing always cause blocking(or BAN) of account .
....and what is the best way to make money except gathering ?

 

[amputations]

"always"? I think the most cases when people get banned by herbing or mining is when they've left the bot on 24/7 without any babysitting.

……at least in China

Server bans player randomly , and other players are keen to notice the GM .

So.......

I don't really agree since gathering is pretty much all I do to make gold, however, I don't do it excessively and as suggested above, botting 24/7 or posting hundreds upon hundred of auctions certainly raises your chance of being noticed.

Exactly... 1) If you're going to bot, use some sense. Don't gather from the same area for too long - the fastest way for you to get banned (from what I've read) is to get reported by someone as a bot. If they see you in the same place for hour after hour and then they come back and you are still there doing the same route... well... you do the math. 2) When you post your auctions, don't post 50+ stacks of the same thing at some very low price, figuring you'll get your sales... put them up in lower volume at a competitive price. When you U/C too much, people start to wonder how much you value your time... and a low value of time can make them start to think that you're botting. 3) Rather than posting all of your gathered mats, use some of them to craft... and then sell the crafted items.

By using 2 and 3 - and even sending your items gathered and crafted to multiple toons (that are not in the same guild so ppl won't know they are 'related'), you can even create an increased sense of competition amongst different sellers... all of which are you.

^ Primo that was incredibly rude. No need for a comment like that here, he simply asked a question, a very easy one you could have probably answered in less words.

I see your still being rude and useless as always.

OP- I have been boting mt. h for about a week 18 hours a day id say and I've been fine. But i will switch it up soon and go to uld or th because you dont want your name getting to familiar in one area. Also if you dont want to gather you can farm a instance such as hf ramps. My guess is you will get 300g a hour or so. Dosent seem like a lot but 300g*16hrs is 4800g a day as long as bot doesnt crash or w/e. Plus with instance farming there no interaction with other players and you can vendor all to not have to deal with ah.

I disagree that mining and herbing always cause a ban. I have been doing both for quite some time and it hasn't resulted in a ban yet. That being said, if you do not want to do any gathering, you could resort to farming Embersilk cloth but I will warn you that the profit will be significantly less than that of herbing or mining. Also, grinding mobs for an extended period of time seems to be far more resulting in a ban than gathering.

If you do not want to farm and you do not want to gather, you'll have to profit off of other crafting professions. You'll probably have to do that on your own though, as HB has very few profit-making crafting profiles.
