So this is my first suspension ever. This bot account exist for a long time now (maybe 3 years?). In the past I used Pirox-Bot and HonorBuddy on this account and farmed like 3 million gold over the years and transfered it via guild bank to my main-account. I never got banned, cause I'm using my own profiles and being really careful in general. After 8 months of not botting I reactivated this account 10 days ago and now I'm already suspended I used random profiles generated with the randomBuddy plugin, cause I thought this would be the savest way ... but now I'm not sure about that anymore. The bot never runs for more than 2 hours without a break and doesn't look that "bottish" at all (495 gear, enchanted, doing some LFR and dungeons now and then). Any ideas what went wrong? Player report, automatic ban? PS: I'm german, sorry for my bad english
Since its manual ban, initiated from GM, I guess you were reported by someone. The usual autobans are not mentioning particular characters and servers, but only the account name and the penalty. Probably someone have focused on you and reported you several times or asked friends/guildies to do it.
Ok thanks. I also think that it was a player report, even though I never got any ingame whisper / emote / whatever. What should I do after the 72h suspension? I want to continue botting, but I also don't want this account to be perma banned. Should I wait some days and bot less after that? Shorter sessions with more breaks? I have some old selfmade profiles here that I used before my 8 month break, should I use them instead of the random profiles generated with randomBuddy? I can't find any ban reports using randomBuddy, so I'm not sure :/
Never use GB again. That?s my advice for you. Using GB is a 100% guarantee, to catch the perma bann soon! I?ve used another bot, for farming ores and herbs, the same way, I?ved used GB before. No suspensions, no banns! Since April 2013 (I?ve lost 2 Accounts for farming with GB2), I?ve never used GB2 again. In German: Ich w?rde Dir empfehlen, nie wieder GB zum Farmen zu benutzen. Ich habe im April 2 Accounts verloren, da ich mit GB2 gefarmt habe. Seit einigen Wochen teste ich einen anderen Bot. ich farme damit Erze und Kr?uter, in den MoP - Gebieten. Ich benutze einen Relogger, eigene Profile (die von HB kann man benutzen) und lasse den Bot nicht mehr als 2-3 Stunden am St?ck laufen. Farme auch nicht jeden Tag. Also alles beachtet, was man bei GB2 auch beachten sollte. Keine 72h Suspension oder einen Bann bisher bekommen. Wenn Du interessiert bist, schicke mir eine PN, dann nenne ich Dir den Namen des Bots. Er ist derzeit sogar noch kostenfrei. Greetings Exciter
GB Behaviour is detected! Tried another and nothing was banned. Developers know the thing what they must do but they ignore that and make another new bot again (neverwinter)... hb is the not lovely baby i think... most users but not so much money... because not so much money from bot they accept it that users will be banned... if u look the beahviour fly, dismount, mounting, movement flightor u will see why they can detect this stupid behaviour ... and ... devs ignore that since half year or more... i miss a lovely coded gatherbot...
hey klausD, sorry to hear about your loss. tough, some info: -) you cought a player report and a GM Investigated your Account, everytime a GM Cheacks for Bots you'll get a 72h Ban - this record is deleted after 3 month btw -) rndBuddy is not detectable, I use it myself for 7 weeks now on 6 accounts, no bans -) honestly i dont think GB2 (core) is detected either, the only things that are detectable are public and private profiles -) u got one ban - jeez - take it like a man and dont complain There are Plugins at _some_ places that automatically report every player they see more than x times - it's a shame people develop such things If you dont want a acc be permabanned you shouldnt bot on it AT ALL I'd say let it cool down, ban records and penalities get deleted after 3 month I can only tell you how many h i do: 7-10h per day including random breaks of at least 45 minutes Using private/public/selfmade profiles is like asking for a ban, there are some very intersting Topics and Articles about LCP Detection, i'd recomment you read them well there are /some/, imho only thus get banned that get greedy, but this would happen for any other bot too
