Hey guys, for people that have experience with extended botting sessions with HB, about how long can you run the bot without getting flagged/banned if no one reports you? Anyone have an estimate?
There's no real answer to that. If you're botting a level 67 char in a back corner of outlands somewhere there's a high chance you won't be noticed. If you're running PvP and your bot starts going mental into a wall..well you get the idea. Personally I bot almost 24/7. One account is always either farming on my 80 or levelling a character and the other is pretty much spamming bg or filling auction house. I've come back to my pc at times and read "[my name] are you a retard or what!!" in battlegrounds, so it's pretty obvious my character looks dumb. No signs of a ban yet though.
Awesome, exactly what I wanted to hear. I've got my own 20-30 profile going right now, in some unpopulated areas. I know there's still a risk, but I really doubt 12 hours will get me banned. Thx.
I got banned after about 5 days of perhaps 20 hours a day botting for a period of 72 hours but appealed and got overturned.
i bot for as long as i can till either wow crashes or bot fucks up. still haven't been banned. record is a week straight 24/7
ya there is no real answer. i botted as long as possible, i got dc'd alot of at night until i hit around 71 then it finally started staying on permanently. So i botted 12-16hr at a time. and with loot filter , my bags only filled up with what i wanted to keep. NO BAN in 30days with HB 1 Ban in 1 1/2 week with MMOmimic
I usually run it overnight, relog in the morning (just in case they check timelog even tough ppl told me they dont) and then let it run untill the evening untill i get home. Then i play my main for a while of just keep it logged out and when im ready for bed the ritual starts all over again.
You are missing the point. 12 hours may not catch you a ban off the bat but it may very well flag you. If you bot, a flag is as good as the real thing. You are marked, it's just a matter of time.
