Heya, I was recently able to fix my problem with paypal and finally gatherbuddy! And now I have a question! I use a separate account to bot, and that account sends stuff over to my main account via Gbank. Main toon Crafts/Prospects/Mills all of the stuff, then puts it back into the guild bank. Auction alts on my bot account then pick it up to sell it, and all gold is put into that guild bank, usually never to be touched until weeks later. Whenever i do transactions i talk in gchat/whispers to my main account. I make it seem like I'm just helping this guy sell stuff by doing all his crafting etc, and he gives me a cut. Now, if my bot account were to be caught and smacked with the banhammer, would my main account get struck too? They don't share the same billing info, but my main account does with about 3 of my friends and my brother... getting them banned would be horrific. D:
Would love to know this too, but the only problem being me not thinking all that far ahead. Bot account is registered in my name and using the same credit card as my main account - just on a separate email. If they catch up on one account being boted on, the "investigation" will lead straight to my other legit accounts - either through alt guilds or simply my name. Are there any chances of one of the main accounts getting banned for helping the bot account with crafts? (sorry for hijack btw)
Odd, im pretty sure that it can lead to both accounts getting banned... same name is meh. But same CC info is uh oh. : /
It depends on how indepth they investigate. They have the ability to follow all those transactions and ban all the accounts involved, should they exercise it. Its rare, though.
So seeing as I don't seem like the same person playing both accounts... In your opinion, should I be fine? I don't really give a crap if the bot account is banned. My main account is a different story tho. I don't really use any of the gold I get from botting immediately either. Usually sits in the guild bank for 2 weeks. And I NEVER auction on my main accounts.
I think you will be fine, but I wont promise you ANYTHING at all. But, well. I doubt that you'll get banned, and if you get banned, I doubt it will be a permanent ban. But honestly, if you care about your main account, and you have an extra account for just botting, you should register it in a different name, use pre-paid gametime card (also cheaper, is in Denmark, for sure, not sure if it is anywhere), other battle.net account (that means different e-mail). Qenzoz.
