Hey this is fairly upsetting as this are all new accounts got a new IP right before I started leveling these. Raf Dungeon'ed up to 80 then Quested. Everyday since hitting 90 all have done dailies supervised by me. All have killed Sha every week. Most have a galleon kill. All have done LFR and have a decent amount of epics. I was really trying to make these look like legit accounts. All in different leveling/social guilds. All were boxed games with timecards used.

Dailies done for 1.5 hours and around 9 hours of gathering with 2 breaks of 1.5-2 hours a piece in there. Had 3-4 different private profiles that were cycled each time they took a break. They have only been active for about a 1.5 months cant believe they got caught this fast....

 

Permanent ban?

Nevermind, i read the title.
Man that's so bad, but 10 hours with 15% supervising.. I'm sure several players reported you. That couldn't have been automatic ban or something like that.

 

Well the supervision was mainly during dailies. My private profiles are pretty much perfect. I also have sound and whisper logging and nothing suspicious that I didn't answer. The only thing I can think of that got me was high NPH as some of my profiles get 250 atm.

 

Damn must have been really shitty luck with people reporting you. Could have pissed some other farmer off really good, especially if they try and talk to you and you ignore them repeatedly.

 

> 6)How many hours per day did you bot for?: 10

It's kind of funny how stubborn people are with their dumb theories of bot detection. The precious private profiles, the VMs, the IP randomizers, doing dailies or running some dungeons... as if that's the key to the mystery.

There is no mystery. Blizzard even *said* in blue posts going back a couple of years - THEY DETECT BOTTERS VIA SERVER SIDE SCRIPTS/LOGS ANALYSIS. The same way GuildWars2 does it, the same way Diablo3 does it. It doesn't matter wtf your IP is or how many auctions you got or if you sent 10K by mail or traded something or sent 10 CODs. 10,000s of players have millions of auctions and trade/move millions of gold every day for years and play from the same router IP as their botting roommate AND THEY DON'T GET BANNED BECAUSE THEY DON'T FUCKING BOT.

They don't need reports to ban you. Reports definitively increase the risk though, so answering whispers and private profiles and constant monitoring and short sessions help, but nothing guarantees safety. no matter what you do, if you run GB2 for 10 freaking hours a day every day, you'll eventually get banned. You could do that a couple years ago, but lately blizz has stepped up their game, and it's getting worse every month pretty much.

 

Dude... people dont just talk in whispers. /s Thanks for stealing my node fgt..

People are straight up dumb as shit when it comes to setting up the bot. Random mounts and node stealing.. I always laugh at the retard who is a DK or shammy with water walking and trying to get to a node under water.... winning

 

I figured it didnt need to list it but I obviously do that say guild yell everything whisper protection.
