"A botters everyday" - A diary and (maybe) a guide about botting.

Thanks virus, much appreciated for the tip AND for the continued updates.

 

I don't think so. As the update says, I got teleported 3 hours before they banned the account.
Maybe it was just a random GM flying by or an player report, but not sure. Because I have been watching my bots for around 75% of the time, running with random profiles changing every hour that would hopefully not triggering the LCP, only around 150NPH, and i have not seen a single player.
So I am looking forward to the email from Blizzard, and will contact them by phone, if it is not a 72h ban or lower

 

Either way, good luck and I look forward to hearing about it =)

 

99,99% player report.

 

Yeah, I also think so
I think that at the moment, Blizzard is looking into every single player reports maybe two but definitely there doesn't need to be lots off reports before they look into the matter. So yeah, I'm pretty sure that it's because of a player report!

I have updated the OP with details of the first ban.

Thanks for reading

 

Thx for Giwin

so Log me out plugin isnt helping at all ...

 

I'm pretty sure you got banned for questing.

After questing you got putted on a flag list and a week later you recieved a ban reason why :

Most likely if you were caught gathering you would have your other accounts checked out and maybe banned aswell and for gathering most likely you would get a perm ban.

 

Does not look like that, if it was because of the bot being stuck, but the bot was not stuck. So probably just a player report, and then the GM checked me out, and then his last check was a teleport that did not say anything. I could have stopped the bot and waited to next day, but I did not.
Therefore, the conclusion is:
Yeah LogMeOut does log you out when teleported, but does that seems more like a human than the bot just "trying" to get out of stuck? Maybe a Little, but what would a real human do? Definitely not just log out, he would just fly to the next node, without any trouble.
So with a GM teleport - No, I would not say LogMeOut help

 

Well, why is this the only account being closed then? Why not the other five too?
Again when the bots was questing, I supervised my bots around 90% of the time, because I KNOW that the bots get stuck, and all the other problems.
So maybe yeah, but I doubt it!

Yeah, that is right, but again. I do not think that it got banned because of gathering, nether because of questing. I simply thinks that it got one or maybe two player reports, and then got checked out by a GM.

 

Most if not all bans are delayed for a week which is why I think it was from questing becouse it was only 72 hours.

A gm will most likely give a temp ban if he sees you questbotting and when he gives you a 72 hour ban he most likely isn't going to look if you were running more then 1 bot.

Just think about it why would he give you 72 hours if he thought you were massbotting?

 

Do you have any source on this? Because what I have seen in the recent months on the forums, is that they spot a botter or get a player report and - BAM - they ban one immediately

Well, why would he not? I still think it must have been a player report. I simply do not think the bot triggered anything in game, because I bot with the exact same profiles on five other accounts.
I am not saying you are wrong, but I simply does not think they would wait 1 week, after what I can read in the forums.

Again, you probably have as much right as I, because neither of us know what Blizzard are doing

 

I left one bot running BGs a whole weekend (my fault, completely forgot I had reset the settings on my relogger and it ran 24/7, haha) and that one was banned instantly. So yes, they insta-ban. I guess if it's really clear for them they ban you instantly, if not, they investigate further and that could take around 1 week indeed.

 

Okay, let us say my account got couth when I was leveling.
Why would that not be clear enough for them, to ban me then?
Why would they first a week after teleport me?
Why were the account banned right after the teleport?

I am certain that it was a player report that I got while farming in Pandaria, if it was not, they would have given me a perm ban.
In addition, if it was a player report when I was leveling, they would defiantly have banned me then, because of their fast bans atm. (Looking on the forum, accounts only days old, get banned.)

 

Don't get me wrong, what I'm saying is I completely agree. They can indeed ban you in less than 1h from seeing the infraction. As you said, if someone reports you and a GM happens to be connected, he can take a look at your char and it takes less than 5min to find out you are a bot. Teleport, whisper, and ban. All in less than, what, 15min?

 

There are 2 different types of bans:

Player-Report-Bans: You get reported too often, a GM checks your char for bot behaviour -> Ban (Most of them are 72h Suspensions though)

Script-Ban: You gather the same route for 16 hours a day, without breaks?May result in an "instaban" with no warning. Can almost always be overturned though (Only if paid account, SoR Accounts are 100% gone).
