[Redwolf]

is there a way to change my ip so i dont get banned anymore?

reset your modem.. power it off wait like an hour or 2 (could be sooner, could be longer) and the DHCP will reset via your ISP, otherwise you can use a proxy site..

Well... Not everyone in the world got modem and random IP...

I saw somewhere on MMOwned an article about setup your own proxy.

True allnei , i have also a static IP for years now , because i host my own website company(and yes i bot on this IP for years now sins glider days ) ....... ( sounds like they have ur ip ) don't know it but sound like it's very rare !!

Yes : **I saw somewhere on MMOwned an article about setup your own proxy ( i only know to setup a proxy in linux ) <- damm i never take any course on windows servers !

**Stop this if don't wana lose your accounts , don't bot on it !!

I would say this has nothing to do whit IP. You have a keylogger that is sending your pw informartion to some gold seller that is prob spamming trade and then gets instant banned. Call blizzard tell them you got banned don't know why ask them to take a look at your login history because you might have been hacked, you might even get your 2 accounts back.


To be honest this happens to me as well I got no clue how they got my account info. But they are very sneeky that way i even scanned all my pc's no key logger :O well got my account back and hasn't been hacked sins. Run Malwarebytes and get a authenticator

Hey, I use two programs, proxycap and pingbuster. Proxycap is a one time 30&euro; payment and pingbuster is like 55$ per year. You can mask detain program IPs, in this case WoW, so It shows a different ip when playing.

Hope this helps you.

Nobody fully understands how/why these things happen -

For levelling purposes, I always quest now (kickazz006 rules for this if you're alliance). I feel very self assured and confident that even if the bot did something stupid (and it does from time to time, regardless of the profile), that a Blizzard review would look at it and think "well, that looks like normal behaviour to me.".. I never AFK bot and I tend to be a bit chatty at times.

There are a number of proxy services that especially here in Australia are helpful in reducing our latency, like smoothping.com and lowerping.com. Many legit WoW users will use these services too. Blizzard can also record your hardware profile though, including things unique to your PC, so unless you're running your WoW client in a virtual machine (like VMware Workstation), then they're going to still be able to match up your information.

Bot smart

Oooooh its a joy when people still believe Blizzard actually does anything with IPs.

Am telling you your accounts got hacked and then banned see previous post.

Blizzard doesn't actively ban on ip. But they do save them in a database so they can see when some one's account get hacked.

 

[themadman]

theres a program who's hiding you're ip-config!

No not everyone does... and if you don't have your own modem and a random IP then there is the proxy way. If you want to change your IP regardless of having a static or dynamic.. you contact whoever you ge the IP from when you get down to it. If you want to deal with a proxy, thats fine, there are numerous ways to do this. But know that the more that people use this "so great proxy' the more blizz will take notice and soon alot of suspensions/bans will start falling on these. Will people get them back? not all but some will.

Whats my point? No matter what safe guards you take.. you take the risk of getting caught. Switching your IP around via proxy or whatever.. and calling them syaing "i was hacked i need it fixed..." might work once or maybe twice.. but ya know.. a good thing only lasts so long and it will run out, all good things do. Your better off, learning from your past, watch how you botted on the accounts that were suspended/banned. See where you might be able to make things seem more human. Learn where you can tweak your profiles to better suit your style of botting, whether it is gathering, grinding, battlegrounds, instances... but i've noticed over the past few weeks a very big increase in noticable botted toons. And that also has coincided with the increase in users here stating they got suspended/banned. See a connection? THink about what you did do, what you now do, and what you need to do. A little preventative planning goes aways... The old saying "better to ask forgiveness later then for permission now" does NOT apply to Blizzards business plan....

ANyways sorry for your loss and ya... good luck
