Well the question is in the Title I try to level now without looting because the bot seems to forget that he could loot instantly and runs away and returns to the mobs which looks very botish and it costs time.
For my priest - without, becasue I only have 2x 6 slot bags, that's it You should thinking about looting mobs if you have alot of bagspace.
Leveling without looting is gimping yourself, Your bot is leveling for you. Your bot will mail and vendor for you. It slows down your bot a little level speed wise, but the gold adds up. Why turn off the option for free gold and possible BoE epics to sell on the AH for a nice proffit?
thanks to gatherbuddy and my many characters with many professions, I do not need the money while levelling so I prefer to turn looting off and get more speed
Pointless, make more money when you hit 80 running hc's for emblems. And most chances are people that bot have at least one 80 they can make gold with anyway. Soo... No.
I leave it off. There's no point when you have GB which makes more gold in a day than any 1-80 toon will. It gimps XP/Hr, and look at it this way, the quicker you get your toon to 80, the sooner you can use GB to farm the more valuable mats which goes for much more gold.
I loot. For all of you who don't how are you getting better gear and enough gold to keep your skills up to date? Both are essential to level quickly.
I don't loot mobs, but I do take herbs and ore. Make more than enough gold with that to sustain my leveling.
Once i hit 50. I turn looting off. Cause i got gaterhbuddy. So like above poster said. When u got gb u will make more then any 1 -80 toon when u hit 80.
Because their mains are 80, so they can farm on them for gold instead. You and I are in the same boat though, as my highest character is the one I am botting.
I defiently do. Free loot, free upgrades, possible BoE epics/blues that sell for a ridiculous amount on the AH. My character is level 34 and has already found 5+ blues which I've been selling for 240-290g on the AH.
I guess I should have been more specific. I am talking about when starting on a new server. You start with 0. I have multiple botting accounts on various servers but when starting on a new server you either have to loot the mobs or do what emmark said and loot herbs/ore.
Depends on the profile. Like I just did 62-68 with panyama's captured firefly profile. made 6kg in the progress. but if the loot isn't specific i like to turn it off, it REALLY adds to the speed.
^^ this is why I loot ... a bot is easy enough to spot even when looting, turning it off definatly increases player report chances ... just my .02
