Gold prices dropping, Blizz teams up with PayPal, Blizz *****s down on Botters

So by now we are all seeing a pretty bad drop in gold prices but also a increase in bans , suspensions and investigations I know I have. So about a month ago they liked one of my teams on my main server together and perma banned them all for exploitive activity they just finally got sick of banning my vanillas and found the source. I started laughing it wasnt a big deal it was only 4 bots and they served me well and made me some good profit. I restarted like any of us would thinking I just have to be a bit more careful. 2 weeks later my hub account 2 vanillas and a farmer banned. I got the hub because a friend still played on that account every 2 ish weeks he said it got hacked. They sent a email saying any further activity with the other IP would result in a perma bann.
I have to ask the question is blizz tracking Ip's and if so should I just switch to dynamic IP? Im not running the bots 24/7 im not selling gold in trade im not running 50+ bots why are they out to get me? And I keep my ties VERY close to home.

 

run wow threw a VPN.

 

what is a VPN?

 

Google is your friend.

 

Vitrual Private Network, creates a secure private connection to a separate network, so basically hides your IP.

 

cyberghost vpn work?

 

Research before you buy, some VPN host's are crap while other's are alot better, put it this way if you dont know what a VPN is or what it does dont go down that road since you could connect to a german host and have a german IP then stupily connect to a US host a few minutes apart which will result in blizz banning your account from a massive IP range jump.

Yes, any vpn will work. You could also use hotspotshield or a socks5 proxy from some foreign country

 

Wikipedia, HowStuffWorks, and Google.

Doh! I fell for a troll, didn't I?

Blizzard doesnt check ips they check macadresses use a virtual machine

 

They dont check But when U log in across the world on the same account they flag ur account for having a IP change. so your statement is wrong or are my eyes lieing to me ? and where are you getting this information.

 

Wouldn't this mean gold prices would be going up? More banns mean less people, less people means less gold, less gold means higher prices
?????
Profit

 

Save yourself money, just buy new accounts and be more careful. Also, take off your tinfoil hats people..

 

This made me lol hard.

 

Umm, this MAC adress talk, have it changed?? Last time i read about it, ppl was writting that blizzard wont know your MAC adress as i will keep changing after passing routers and stuff like that on its way, or??

 

Yeah they were going up, but then nothing became of this so they went back down. This news about blizzard+paypal is from late January, it is now March and I haven't heard anything of it from any major sellers in a month+.

 

If you have a router, all they see is your routers MAC, and your external IP. They know some unique info about your hardware maybe (CPU id or something like this). But they don't make use of any of this info unless you are some hacker or exploiter or something really bad.

 

If you have money or 100 USD a month to spend,y not try VMware?

 

show us this letter you claim blizzard sent you regarding IPs
