Hey guys im kinda new to botting, started this semester and this is kinda my first big patch, i tried the honor grind yesterday but its kind of impossible being horde so i desperately need to use the bgbot again, i havent been using it for weeks since ive been reading it got pretty dangerous, so any skilled veterans or someone with last knowledge could make a prediction about when will it be the correct time to start bg-botting again? Or will it always stay unsafe as it is right now? thanks
I think bgbotting is always going to be a risk if you're not at the PC and leave it running and running unattended. I'd say it's less risky if you bgbot whilst at the PC or close by to keep a check on things and maybe go a couple of rounds with user control or mix it up a little take control inbetween rounds as well. It's less likely to look botty. ALl that said using a bot is always going to be at risk at some point. As they say "shit happens" when a ban comes along.
yeah sorry about the structure, i know its always going to be a risk i just hoped it would go back to normal like a while back when bans werent so common as this last days, thanks for the advice freedom!
You will never be truly safe when BG Botting. Protip - one big thing that gives you out as a bot is your "Starting Point". Everyone these days can spot the massive lumps of "Buddies" stacking on top of each other a few steps before the gate, so change your starting points for each battleground to something custom. Anything will work, as long as you aren't stacking anywhere near the other bots. This will prevent most of Battleground reports by players, because once people scatter all over the place, it's much harder to observe who is a bot and who isn't, except for Battlegrounds such as Eye of the Storm and Battle for Gilneas, where all bots will keep stacking on the same node the entire battle. Strand of the Ancients is another BG which bots need to avoid, since it's easy to tell who is going where and bot lumps are especially obvious, when the Leader screams "Go gate X" and all bots nevertheless go Gate Y, forming massive bot trains. Botters should be genuinely concerned about the following Battlegrounds, where the behavior of their bots is especially obvious, screaming "I am a bot, rape my face". -Battle for Gilneas. Really obvious from start to finish, especially if there are more than a couple of bots participating. -Eye of the Storm. All bots always, without fail will stack on the same node every time, forming massive bot trains while shifting between nodes. -Strand of the Ancients. Really obvious when half the team stack on the same spot on the ships and form massive trains, going for the same gate at the start. -Temple of Kotmogu. Just don't go there if you love your account. Since bots don't pick up orbs and don't defend Orb Carriers, real players get extremely pissed very fast. Stay away. -Arathi Basin is kind of a special case. Just as long as you don't stack with the other botters at the start, and don't endlessly run into a held by the enemy FARM or STABS, dying forever, you are safe.
