If I want to bot up and grind for credits on dailys and with grinding profiles. Can I do this as efficient with a F2P account as well as a SUb one? Do you bot with subbed accounts on F2p? Thanks
Pindleskin is right (wth is a pindleskin anyway? But since all your credits are kept in escrow, nothing prevents you from farming gazillions if you so wish and then pay one month sub to xfer those credits to wherever you want?
Time for me to give you all the jbhawk breakdown of credit farming. On your main create a guild bank. Never bot on your main this will be the main account that you will do story lines and any endgame content so therefore it will be the only monthly charged account. Now my set up is that I have 3 F2P accounts that grind credits 24/7. If those get banned no big deal, I'll just make another F2P account and keep on grinding. Now then on your F2P accounts spend $4.99 adding cartel credits on each of your F2P. This will bump them to preferred status. With that you could mail all your credits to your main but what I do is with the cartel credits I just purchased I pay for the guild bank access. Each day at various times during I stop the bot use my "To Fleet" cooldown and deposit all purple and better gear and all credits. I then use all the credits and gear having a blast on my main. Getting the mounts I want, Gear I want so on and so on. I have two guild banks on my main (Imp and Republic). So I guess technically I am not using at pure F2P style but I'll pay the one time $4.99 in order to get all the access I need to run a smooth credit grind organization. Now then if you really want to make this a sweet deal create a couple more F2P accounts and place them in the guild don't bot on those, instead play them for an hour once a week. While on a few accounts talk in guild chat to yourself. I know crazy right? But no because now you have all 3 tiers in your guild (Sub, Pref and F2P) there is guild activity going on and it just appears that wow you have a few members that go above and beyond for the guild putting in credits etc. and you have some lesser folks in guild of need. If you want to go grind Electrum to profit on in the IGN, simply have one of your poor toons ask for some and then on your Bots go to town. Now you have a complete back story as to why you were seen grinding for hours on in if you are called out by GM's or some idiot that wants to report you. I know it may seem complicated but I get all this done in less than an hour aday. I have been playing for only a few weeks and I am about to buy my 5th Guild tab and brother those aren't cheap. Think my last tab was 7 Million credits. Once the mounts work again I can roughly pull in around 200K credits per hour with the 3 bots grinding.
This method will get you banned. Too much mailing and tracking you via IP (maybe he uses v p n). Also the guild bank idea is a BAD IDEA they track all of that on logs. I would be careful what I post on the forums since you must not think Bioware reads this? They used to ban space botters for your exact credit farming method of free to play accounts via guild banks. Mailing credits from other accounts to your main account will flag you and can result in perama ban since they will assume you are selling credits even if you are not. Just FYI.
I believe that Bio does read the forums, I would expect them to do so or they wouldn't be doing their due diligence in finding out all about the bots and programs that are out there. I did bring up the mail in my post but I have never ever mailed anything from my F2P accounts to my main. Its all done through the guild bank. Now I could see your point about the guild bank itself being a risk. I have 2 solutions to that which would be: 1. Place an item on the GTN. Make it something readily available but at a really high price. Place it out there for a 2 day period and on the second day have your bot buy it thereby sending the credits to your main. or 2. Only buy one Bot license and bot the right way on your main. No more than 8 to 12 hours a day. There may be other methods and to each their own. I will absolutely write on the forums the day I get caught so that it helps others in the community.
Won't help any one if every method is posted on forums for bioware security to read (not saying you just copied how wow and every other mmo with those tactics). Trust me I have had my fallouts with this security team. Do as you wish. But guild bank will ban you faster than anything. You act like they don't know the IP that created the account and the CC to buy cartel coins (unless you bought a prepaid card at a store). They have your name with the credit card you used to pay for the FTP cartel coins thus linking to your main account. I have had main account banned for being in a bot net guild bank credit ring even though I NEVER BOTTED ONCE on that main account. Good luck! I will post no more comments.
