[Guide] Botting safely even after 5.3

Guide for Gather botting with GB2, Doesn't all apply to questing ect =] Those are a lot safer.

Hello everyone,

I've noticed a lot of fear and people backing off a lot lately from gathering with GB2. Yes, there has been an increase in bans, but a little dash of common sense and ingenuity and you can avoid it.

First of all, I know people might be against this.. but.. avoid using random profiles ( now hear me out ), you will:

• get stuck a lot on objects due to it not taking into account decent and tested paths
• get stuck on mobs and not avoid places of heavy combat, hence much lower NPH and drawing more attention to yourself
• not avoid LCP detection ( even though this is only part of the reasons people get banned ) Due to covering the same hot spots more then once, seeming 99% of random Gen profiles are small, even if you are changing every 15-20 min.

Second, use profiles that have 1500+ hot spots, this means you will not even come close to hitting the same hot spot again for at least an hour. Blizzard cannot keep track of you indefinitely as it would take way too much space on their servers to record, coupled with the use of randomize hot spots and with a factor of 1-5, you will not be hitting the same hot spots, but keeping on track for a good, clean and safe ore/herb run. A good example of this is my public multi-zone http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...6095-gb2-n-patto92s-multi-zone-0-1-alpha.html

Third, as always, don't spend a stupid amount of time botting in a row. Take breaks, bot a bg, do some archaeology, anything to mix up the routine a little.. As for gather botting, my general rule is 1-2 hours on a single zone profile, 3-3.5 on a dual zone and 5-6 hours on a multi-zone profile when using private profiles, when using public profiles halve those numbers.

Fourth, make sure you test your profile before you use it, watch it do at least a full lap before going afk for the first time you use the profile. Getting stuck and being player reported is the easiest way to attract a ban.

Fifth, use a few plug-ins such as http://www.thebuddyforum.com/archives/34359-plugin-logmeout-world-warcraft-disconnecter.html for DC'ing you after a certain amount of un stuck attempts.( lower chance of player reports) http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/plugins/monitoring/119813-plugin-avoidplayers.html to avoid people ( lower chance of player reports) http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...ring/119815-plugin-playerreportsdetector.html (to see why might have reported you)

Sixth, the safest form of botting with GB2 is with a very large, tested, multi-zone private profile ( either having made it yourself or getting someone else like me to make it for you ) Using a very large profile negates the LCP detection + when you couple that with the randomize hot spots as mentioned earlier you will never hit the same hot spot for a very, very long time.

Seventh, don't send multiple mail box full of herbs/ore to a separate account, keep the banker on your account and dump in a shared guild bank, or have your farmer deposit directly into the guild bank. This is so you won't get flagged for sending so many items to a non linked account.

Eighth , don't post all your raw materials on the auction house, either find a private buyer to C.O.D. them too, or turn them into gems/flasks/pots/glyphs then AH

Tl;Dr :

• Don't use public or random profiles ( unless you cannot spend the time to make one yourself )
• Don't bot for more then 6 hours at a time ( half that time if running public profiles )
• Always use randomize hot spots with a low randomization factor 1-5
• Always use a large profile
• Never post all your raw mats on the AH

I hope this has helped some people and cleared up some of the confusion surrounding everything on the forums lately.

Happy botting

Well, since you made a stupid answer you should maybe answer WHY he has no idea what he is doing?

 

"my general rule is 1-2 hours on a single zone profile" hahaha i bot like 24 hours in the same zone since start of cata and i have never got banned xD

 

Exactly lol. He just wants to promote his shit by his signature.

 

Ty patto92, This guide will be helpful to new botters. Buttholes who make snide comments are just losers who should do something more constructive with thier time. Hope you will consider a Multizone profile for northrend and outlands aswell.

 

These are all valid tips. Especially time management, however because you get away with more time upkeep doesn't make it any safer or that you won't be banned sooner.

 

VALID TIP : Don't bot for more then 6 hours at a time ( half that time if running public profiles)

private profiles/2=public profiles. LOL
There is not such thing as average bot time to get you flagged. If you dont do it properly you will get flagged eventually -call it 1 day,2 days, 43 minutes, 3 hours-. ( i bet if you currently use a public profile, it takes no more than 15 minutes to get flagged, not even 3 hours/day)

Not all tips are trash but if you wanna have an objective grade, its below 5 out of 10. I wouldnt even trust this guy to make me a private profile (which is trash as well if u dont use roboto's shit with yourself modifying it).

 

I say short time spans due to what people experience.. Use my large Multizone.. Hardly anyone gets banned on it.. How often do you see it as the cause in the ban section.. I wouldn't put any Info up here that I didn't think was valid. If you don't agree then just leave.. Don't scare people away from learning safe botting habits

And yes I agree there is no *set time* but without a general guide line people bot for hours and wonder why they are banned.. And smaller profiles have always been more risky.. Its common sense..

in fact his points are valid.
suspicious he promotes his skype for selling private profiles though. let a mod review if thats legit to advertise that way.

 

If it's not, then I can change, I don't run any websites or anything like that, it's just for if people want private ones made.. I'm happy to do it, I have the spare time and the knowledge =] as you can see from my public profiles, I've been doing this a long time.. just thought I'd help out..

 

Knowledge that take all of 30 minutes to acquire?

 

Knowledge of best routes, of where to avoid... and just because it's easy to acquire doesn't mean people don't need help. I've helped a few people write profiles, hell I even have my stuff for writing profiles on my public SVN... But that's beside the point, This thread is about how to bot safely, not about profile writing.

 

I wasn't attacking you or anything, just questioned the validaty of "add me @skype for more info: $Account" ... as "google: XXX" is forbidden, this is also "indirectly advertising"

no offense to you

 

Yeah Just spoke to a mod about it and he removed it saying I'm not allowed to advertise private profiles

 

Thanks for adding to the list of helpful tips patto92, Actually never used some of those plug-ins before and they seem like they would make it a bit safer to bot.

 

^.^ I've been in this community for a long time, and lately with all the random hostility and fear and stuff, I thought I'd just try and clear up some stuff and put peoples minds at ease =] make it just a little safer for everyone =]

 

In all honestly, you should have closed this thread as soon as you made it ^^

 

>.> Why ?

 

i bot 10 12 hours aday on my 6 accounts questbotting i let it rest at the night for over 9 months i make money trough questing i only use gatherbuddy with my own profiles to lvl my profession on my main classes where i use honorbuddy also for raiding and arena rbg but i always monitor it i play console xbox 360 when im botting and i watch it always but i know what to do agains people ingame im an 8 9 year expierencebotter and i use kicks profiles for questing.

 

Oh for questing and stuff, I agree, you can run a lot longer.. I'm talking specifically about gathering =]
