I've been botting anywhere from 8-12 hours a day but I think my hours are somewhat human like. I take it that you're botting for profit rather than for personal use then? Since you have what seems to be a pretty decent sized operation going on. Finally, if you're using a quester profile that has any type of escort quest - DROP THAT SHIT! Escort quests are the most bottish thing I've seen so far. There are also two plugins that will either send you a push notification on your phone or post to a discord channel if anything happens to your bot, which is extremely useful. Can't remember the name of that one though.
If you don't use quester, look for the plugin that declines party invites, because otherwise you will be running around with an open invitation and that looks bottish, theyll expect you to either accept or decline. But I'd say more oftan than not, they are just trying to get the quest done too and don't care about you. However, it should be noted that Quester can be good and bad, because sometimes you'll have people trying to talk to you in party chat and get agitated that you don't reply. I also recommend checking out the Human Master Plugin, Random Jumper and Quester plugins because they help make you look more like a person. Minding those things though and having a really good fightclass will do you a lot of good. I have a separate bank account for each one so I don't put waaay too much on the AH, and try to space out my listings (like dont post 20 stacks of thick leather or something). I figure that makes it look more realistic. Now, I'm running four bots but one at a time, all on different IP's, and for only 4-6 hours max and then ill take a break from that one while I work on the others. Some GM's will let you off with a warning if you just say sorry.Įdit: and yeah, I was running them waaaay too long. I definitely recommend turning that setting off if you want any chance at saving yourself lol. For some reason I had the setting to log off when teleported, so I'm sure they just instabanned every account on that IP once I disappeared. I really wish I could have been there when they teleported me to GM island though. I'm assuming that my shaman was probably doing some stupid shit in STV while questing and got reported.
HOW TO DOWNLOAD VANILLA WOW FOR LIGHTS HOPE TV
I wish, I wasn't looking at my screen when it happened D: I was watching TV and all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I saw all my instances of wow go to "disconnected". I've been having some issues with the bot though so it's getting frustrating. Currently about halfway to my level goal before I start going legit. This seems to be the absolute biggest issue.Īny insight on how you got caught? I'm assuming running 3 accounts on the same IP for long hours every day probably didn't help. Either avoid PvP or make sure your bot looks somewhat human like when it's fighting back in PvP. My priest never had issues and it would get into PvP fights, along with grinding by people all the time. It seems you will ONLY get banned if your bot breaks in an obvious way.
HOW TO DOWNLOAD VANILLA WOW FOR LIGHTS HOPE UPDATE
I'm going with a paladin now and plan on botting that to 55, so I will update this thread on the status of these accounts. I have had success with a priest in it's 40s and plan on stopping it. I had a warlock banned at level 33 but that is because it would constantly break in pvp, and run at someone with it's staff and try to summon the void walker on repeat. It seems lightshope has no way to track the online time of an account, because my friend has been running an account now for 48 hours and it received no ban.
So I'm reworking this section due to further tests.
Some things that seem to be trends about players getting banned: I just want to bot two classes to 60(or attempt too anyways, unsure of the banrate) so I can test them at 60 to figure out what I want to eventually play for retail vanilla. I have a main account that I've put a lot of time into(2 60s, one with pretty solid BWL and MC gear) that i'd much rather not get banned. I'm just curious on how lightshope handles bans for their server, if it's purely account based or if they'll ban every account on your IP. New to the private server WoW botting scene, but i've been involved in the botting scene in one way or another for most of the major MMOs.
