The economy of my country is very bad atm and everything that I purchase that is from EU/US is triple price for me so it would really hurt if I get banned, not to mention losing my characters would even hurt more. Anyway lets get to the point. I only have one account. Its a main account. I have plenty of friends and I whisper and talk a lot in game including in general channel. I have 1800 arena rating and I participate in BRF and HM (HC) weekly. I also go to a single WoD dungeon daily. I sleep for 6 to 8 hours at night and I don't bot during these hours. WoW is pretty much open in rest of the day whether I'm playing or botting. When I watch movies/TV series or when I go to University I bot. I don't buy/sell gold, nor do I intend to. I don't spam the auction at all, 5 items daily at most. SO how much I should be worried about getting a ban? Will it be permanent? I intend to bot until I get a suspension at which case I will permanently stop. How can I make sure the most severe "punishment" I get is a suspension not a permanent ban?
You would never know for sure! But you can and should take steps to lower the risk - do bot like human, never bot something for extensive amount of time, neither do flood the AH with more than common sense numbers of item, you acquired while botting. Good luck!
dont botting anymore if you are worried to lose your acc.... its a game not your life that are you loosing.... hf =)
I've been doing this for long. The only thing I'm concerned about as I stated (and you somehow ignored) is severity of punishment blizzard gives you for botting without damaging the economy. I know for a fact that buying/selling gold is almost impossible to recover from a ban. I heard simple botting only gets a suspension which I hope its true.
Must be blind, but didnt get what you exactly bot. Overall, if you not do alot gold transactions, you not bot bg with default bgbuddy, and you not grind same place every day you r safe imo.
Every bot has a chance to get caught. If you do not want to risk your main account don't bot really. Nobody has a magical number or percentage when you are going to get caught. So if you are unsure, make a new account and bot there.
