if you're using a other bot that rndbuddy supports as well please excuse me when i decide to take the whole thing offline for some hours

New Feature info

I have a question concerning bans. Did anybody get hit while using this plugin?

 

I have botted allmost 2 months 10-14hours sessions everyday and never got a ban, this addon is awesome.

 

you can get banned as usual, but that is from player reports and stuff, you are safre from lcp detection if that is what you are afraid of. I have been surveiling the ban section and i believe i saw only 1 rndbuddy ban and it was a heavy botter i think, i don't remember right now.

 

Hey dumb question from a newish botter. But where is this API key? Is it something i need to PM someone for?


Update: got it figured. Thanks for the PM's guys!

 

Also have this same question, where is this API key ? And i'm not a newish botter, been using this for more than a year, first time I hear this word !! Thanks in advance for your help guys


EDIT - got my answer in PVT.

Thanks

 

I was the botter that was banned.

BUT: i had no valid API Key at this time and no experience with rdnbuddy. Now 1 1/2 Months without a ban.

 

Not sure where i should post this but i got stuck at
X="-221.6772" Y="3036.28" Z="126.3189"
in an infinite mount loop after gathering a node.

 

go to rndbuddys site, there's a form to add blackspots

 

edit: oops email eaten by a spam eating monster, my bad

 

nice to hear

regarding bans:
one thing that we can all agree on is that nothing is 100% ban-proof.
altho there are many users that use rndbuddy (statistics show about 1000 individual per hour [pre 5.4]), so if there would be something of rndbuddy that generates a detectable pattern you'd see more ban posts regarding this plugin.
i've seen about 4 ban posts in the last few months whrere users were using rndbuddy.
so i think we can agree on that the chance is, well, tiny.

however: LCP detection isn't the only thing that can get you banned ingame, and you sure can get banned either delayed (person used public profile before, got flagged, switched to rndbuddy, banned 5 days after this) or just trigger some other protection.
personally I think there must be a NPH- and/or online-vs-gather-time filter (eg 10h online 99% of time gathering).

 

Hey,

I have a problem, and I cant solve it alone.

Nevermind where I start the bot with randombuddy, it flies every time to the same spot in valley in four winds and do nothing.

I installed everything from scratch and it flies again to the same spot and idle there...

yea. if iam use free vрn - bot stand still and do nothing...

any logs for debug?

 

yes, whats wrong?

 

Do i have to use enGB client to make usw of the NPCs for each zone? Because their names in the profiles are english.
How much hours a day is recommended? Before april shit i did 24/7 and those accounts lasts 1 month - that was okay for me.

Greetinsg

 

dunno, it tries to resolve some "afinternet" which must be a influence by the service you're using
nothing i can fix

i recommend the en client in general
i do 10h per day, breaks included, so about 6-7 hours per day

 

Thanks for answer.
So 24/7 is not an option with rndbuddy and its profiles?
What about 14 hours with 3 breaks of ~20min?

Greetings

Thanks anyway for ya work and for sharing it with us
