I have been boting on one account for over 4 years now and I think its time I share my story I started out with Glider in TBC and grinded a warlock to 70, and I remember that just when WOTLK came out glider went down But thats when I found honorbuddy (through the glider forums) and I have never looked back. In WOTLK I think i boted about 3 chars to 80 (pala, warlock and druid) but it was not until Cataclysm came out that I really started Up until this day i have boted 7 chars to 85 (as you can see in my signature) and I have made a total of about 80,000 Gold. I have only tried out questing for a few levels on my hunter but I always found the bot stuck or in an error when i left it on over night. So all my chars are basically grinded to 85. I have not hand leveled a single one of them (lol) When it comes to encounters with GMs, i have only had one, and i was not there to reply. What happened was that earlier that day, before i went to bed, I opened a ticket because of some bug or something in VoA. I did not realize he would contact me on another character. But he did (I should have known) And he tried to contact me about 4 or 5 times through the night. Maybe I got lucky and the GM just didn't care? But I still find it amazing that after 4 years of boting I have not been baned. After flooding the AH with mats. Grinding mobs for 10+ hours a day and not completing one single quest I think this is a pretty good success story. But now I will stop boting on my main account. I think that its a good idea to stop while on top And now I also have a second account which I only use to farm, and its working pretty awesome, been at it for two weeks now boting 16+ hours a day So I just want to thank all the people that has helped build this community and all the awesome plug ins and the profiles. And off course the devs!
While 80k gold aint a really big achievement I think 8 chars maxed is. Congrats on this and enjoy the second account.
