Hey there, I've been trying to make some gold (casually) for a while now, just to get the gametime tokens and because I like watching my bot-minions work for me. However, about 7 of my battlechests have been banned so far after about a week of botting. I'd let them run about 10 hours a day, during the day. I'd run Azyul dungeon profiles (Botanica, Gun'drak, Halls of Lightning). I understand dungeon farming is risky, but I was wondering what else I can do with for instance a team of 5 battlechest bots to make some gold. I was planning to make a team of 5 Paladins to just queue randoms, but while leveling them up my Prot Paladin got banned so I was 1 team member short. TL;DR: How to make gold with a team of 5 without getting banned after a week?
I'm in the same boat, few things I want to know. Some one mentioned something about 'cleaning' gold what does this mean? (I assume it means putting gold on different accounts, friends accounts then flowing it threw the market before it gets to a seller) - Could someone provide me with tips with regards to this. Also, best 5 man dungeons to be making gold with, this question gets asked far too much but I don't see any good answers. Azyuls profiles need a lot of baby sitting
How are you setting up the accounts? There are a few obvious and easy ways for Blizzard to tag botting teams like this, so whether you bot 2 hours per day, 10 hours or 24 hours doesn't necessarily make that much of a difference. First of you need to make sure all the accounts are not linked in any way. Setting up five+ accounts on the same Battle.net account is bound to work horribly. And many people tend to use "Recruit-a-Friend" between new bot accounts in order to level faster and to get grant levels to use between the accounts. But I guess this will make sure Blizzard will have some sort of track of these accounts being linked and seeing them all being online at the exact same times, being together and doing the exact same stuff all at the exact times etc seems like something that will get them all tagged and makes it easy for Blizzard to ban them all, even-though they might not be tracking all the accounts. You also have to take into consideration that having botting teams will always increase the risk of getting banned, and when you get banned you will most likely see all of them getting banned in the same wave. Having a dungeon team with 5-bots doing the same set of dungeons hour after hour on a regular basis is not regular behaviour. And keep farming older content is not something that is common to do so if you are looking to farm using Azyul's dungeons profiles I would not use the very same 5-man team all the time and I would make sure that your different characters are doing other things in between your runs to make sure it does not seem like you have the very same team farming the very same old dungeons over and over again for extended periods of time. And perhaps the most important thing, especially if you are planning to "off-load" gold you earn to a primary account or anything like that. You need to make sure that you "clean" the gold in some way. If you are stupid like me and simply transfer the gold directly from the accounts you use for farming dungeons you will most likely get your primary account banned as well. It doesn't even matter if you barely bot on your primary account, it does not matter if your primary account is played from a different computer is on a completely different Battle.Net account. Huge transfers of gold will get monitored and will get your account banned even-though it was not the one farming the gold using bots in the first place. Which brings up another potential issue. Blizzard will have access to your routers MAC-address, and most likely your Ethernet / WiFi MAC-address through the WoW client / Battle.net launcher as well as your external IP-address so if you are running all bots locally from your very own Internet you will run the risk of getting every account you run from this network banned in one wave and if you are going to bot on several accounts in teams it does indeed look fishy and is quite easy for Blizzard to track and assume you are botting if you have several accounts from the same machine (MAC-address) and same network playing all at the same time on a regular basis.
Well yes. But what you describe might not ness. be high risk. But lets say for the sake of arguing that they will last 2-3 weeks if you bot smart. Thats 5 accounts for €9 each. Investmenent: €45 Time to level: 24 hours. Gph after: 600. Amount of hours run: 2.5 weeks * 7 * 24 = 420 Gold earned per account: 420 (hours) * 0.6 (gph) * 5 (# accounts) = 1,260,000Gold. So you just bought 1.2 million gold for €45. You can now sell this to the chinese for €0.7? per K? It's a small profit and not really worth it, if you however did this to get that spectral tiger mount or something. I'd say worth it.
you clean it in the same manner as you do with actual money. In a tub and then with the iron to make it all look nice and crisp. Then you wave it around, rubberbanded up around your buddies
There is no "clean gold" either bot for fun or learn to be better at masking everything before you even try to bot again for profit.
farm and sell vial of the sands best way for lvl 90 chars , +20k profit on each vial i"m botting 5 accounts too , but instead of transfering gold , i just send mats to primary accounts throught mailbox or guild bank , it didnt get me banned after 1 month ,
