I was just wondering, if you would have a second account - not in any way linked to your main account (RAF or SOR), and not linked through name (thus, only by IP-adress). Would it be possible if they ban the second account (the new one), they link it to your main account (the old)? Does anyone know whether they ban over IP? I'm thinking about creating a new 'gathering' account, only for small amounts of farming for me and my guild (no gold-selling, major AH transactions, selling,...) Would that be 'safer' to not risk my main acc to be banned? I'm not willing to sacrifice my main, as I do like to play wow and not only bot it. But farming stuff is boring after all these years and I really need mats to make raid-flasks and such... A little insight?
My personal opinion is that if you share a IP with a bottting account and a non-booting account, is that they flag the account that isnt botted on aswell. They dont ban the non-botting account as long as you dont break any rules. But since its flagged they investigate it harder and deeper, and if you would be doing some shit on it they might be real fast on warning or banning you for that. This is what i believe.
for me when i got banned on my main account, the email i got had said something regarding account investigation. Reading down the email I see that they name BOTH my main Account battle.net and My Bot accounts battle.net and thus terminating them both. So I just been going off that as my theory.
Indeed. Why do you think Blizzard don't want you to use proxies/V-P-Ns ? And they do actively scan on that (and ban your account if they find out). This way, all your accounts can be traced by scanning your unique IP-address.
