Hey everybody. I am new to Honorbuddy and botting in general and plan on bringing up my first bot in the next couple of weeks. I have been trying to gather as much info as I can beforehand so I don't noob it up. I have a couple of questions that I am hoping some experienced botters can answer. 1) I want to make sure I protect my main WoW account which I do not plan on doing any botting on. Is there any way that Blizzard could detect the software on my PC and ban all associated accounts? If this is the case I will have to get a second PC. 2) I have heard that it is best to bot on DSL or Dial since they generate Dynamic IP addresses. I am concerned that if I bot on my cable internet and I get caught Blizzard will ban my main account since they will show up as being on the same IP address. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance for your help.
Make sure your botting account is on a different Bnet, I don't think blizzard ban based on IP because that would mean if you had a shared internet connection then everyone on the connection would be banned.
TY for the quick response. I assume by "Bnet," you mean a different Battle.net account? If that is what you mean I plan on creating the botting accounts with pre-paid game cards. They will in no way be connected to my Battle.net account/credit cards/etc.
With time cards, hardcopys of the game and fake names and info you should be fine. If you use fake info when you make an acct make sure you save it somewhere. I've been locked out of my accounts before and couldn't recover them because I didn't know the name/info associated with the account lol... don't make that mistake ><
Im not sure that is the case I was part of over 5000k ban wave on Glider and own my own computer repair company in which there where accounts on other computers not being botted on that got banned which shared the same I.P address, So they do ban on I.P and IMO even MAC addresses. My advice if you dont want your main account to be in harms way dont bot it is the only safe way to go.
Blizzard don't detect these. :3 No worries. They wont ban anyone for just having same IP. (Cause even room mates can play, but other is botting, other is not.) Just make 2 differend Battle.net account. Give the other fake info, (But yes write it down). And you should be fine. (for the fake account, buy the gametime cards. Don't use your credit card.)
What I mean is that if you have say 3 accounts all on ther same Bnet all online at the same time and for the same amount of time and you have an investigation on one of the bots done due to a report, surely they would just relate these accounts as one. I agree that I think they mark Mac addresses and maybe even monitor certain ones but who knows, I just run all my accolunts on different bnets not like its any biggy.
I appreciate the help. I should note that I plan on selling the currency that I make with the bots to a gold broker. Eventually I will get a second PC just for convenience sake, but I would like the operation to fund itself as much as possible. I figure it is at least a couple of months before I can grind out enough gold that it would be worth risking the account to sell it anyway. In the meantime I am just rearing to get started. This is something I have been wanting to do for years. If you sell the gold you make are there any additional security measures that anyone can recommend? I am worried that Blizzard might be more inclined to issue a blanket ban in this case. I have already accepted the fact that I am going to get accounts banned eventually but I would hate to lose my main account that I have spent 2+ years on. TY again!
You shouldn't really worry about them banning based on IP. I've received bans here and there but it's because of who you sell to. Dynamic and static IP addresses are irrelevant. Your main account will be fine as long as honorbuddy isn't detected client-side. The way honorbuddy operates, client-side detection is unlikely at this point but not impossible. If you're going to sell gold, do your best to sell to private buyers. The chinese are almost always buying but that's where your greatest risk is for the account doing the transfering. Good luck!
TY for the help bobnelson. Looking into it further I read on the forum here that what is more important is changing/masking your MAC Address. I found some good info on youtube to that end that I plan on running by a buddy of mine who is a network administrator and presumably knows about such things. I am thinking that if the MAC address that Blizzard sees is tied to my external modem then it would be easy as pie to gou out and by another modem and use that while I am playing on my main account. In any case I have been thinking about getting a wireless modem anyway so that I can watch porn in bed on my Ipad....TMI? Sorry
An easier solution would be to pick up a cheap network card and throw that into your computer. Then you could simply move your ethernet cable from one to the other.
