      Meh, just got hit again on 5 accounts. I ran them 12/7 (well actually 12/4 :confused:)

      3*12 hours of leveling to 85 including one profession and then they got hit today around the 8th hour (with breaks) of farming Gundrak heavy edited profile based on Azyul's profile for it(different coords, guild bank deposit and all lua removed)

      Really tired of seeing people claim they can easily farm one instance 20-24/7 till their battlechest time is expired or even longer then a week while I get banned doing only 12 hours a day. Or they just really have it out for me.

      All acounts were raf linked, but those people claim they use raf as well.

      The following I have tried with 5 raf groups:
      4 euro key paid with paypal
      4 euro key paid with gift card
      legit battlechest key

      All on separate servers, some shared
      Always quested from 1-15, then I used dungeonbuddy from 15-80.

      For 80-85 I have tried dungeonbuddy with and or cata questing profiles.

      At 85 I either went direct to the 372 vendor or did all the quests in jade forest for the 384 gear.

      I then normally ran 12 hours of instance farm with randomized breaks and twice I used an world exploration profile for achievements.

      The best result I got was from running two raf groups 24/7, leveling to 85 within 30-34 hours depending on my schedule and if I quested during. Then bot gundrak 20/7 for 3 days and rake in 250k, automatic 72 hr ban and forget about the accounts.

      But I really hate the leveling part and was hoping for something that I could do for at least 30 days. But it seems 12 hours is too much, tempted to try either 12 hours of using Azyul multiple dungeon farming or 6 hours of one , but I am starting to doubt it matters much.

      Still curious af what is causing the bans and how to avoid them. Raf linked? 5 battlechest on one account? Doing the same thing over and over again? Gold selling? Something in my profile spamming an error?

      Al those summed up things are fishy as fuck, but why am I getting banned so quickly while other people are claiming to do the same?

      Longing back to those times I could just put gatherbots on realms and run them 16/7 with crafters and rake in some interesting dough.

      I'm seeing a lot of the same instances being behind many of these bans...mainly gundrak and botanica though...maybe stick to the more obscure dungeons that aren't popular? Maybe the gph won't be as high but the longevity of said accounts might make up for that.

      Hmm, 6 months ago I tried to do similar, but using Botanist cataclysm dungeons with dk's, I'll see if I can find the thread.

      Well that didn't took long :) https://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/ban-section-ban-reports/148521-5-accounts-banned.html

      Basically, 5 accounts with 10 chars. The leveling was 16 hours a day on 2 chars per account, farming was 12 hours a day on 2 chars per account. Again random breaks inbetween the 12 hours, switching dungeon and char every hour.

      Starting to think it maybe is the quick leveling to 85 with raf accounts and or something measuring how many instance reset (at that time it was 5/hour) and every run took approximately 13-15 minutes if I remember correct.

      From my experience:

      Leveling up a 5 man raf group (dungeonbuddy) then farming dungeons 24/7 they always seem to only last 1 to 3 days (so they are banned within the first week of the key activated)
      When I do the same level up but use them to dungeon farm when they have less than 15 days game time left they always last longer (but never had them last more than a week). (so 1-2 days leveling then left dormant for over a week)

      The leveling up process is a pain in the @$$ but for now im leveling groups up then letting them cool off for about a week then put them into farm mode

      Using azyul farming profiles that i have modified

      I am now running 5 old accounts, that previously received a 72 ban, with cata normal dungeons. The gold will be absolutely shit, but I want to see when they'll get banned.

      If they managed not to get banned. I'll buy and level 5 new battlechests and then I'll buy 5xmop to run random hcs 24/7 with a profile that hopefully will level enchanting and tailoring to 500 each.

      I am using 5xdruids now, but the other group will consist out of a druid tank, disc priest and 3 hunters.


      Till next saturday, that way if I haven't got a ban, I can level rush the other group.

      No the majority of these bans I've seen lately seem related to account up times (cmon...nobdy plays for 12 hours straight and a vast majority wouldn't play 12 hours out of the day) and specific zones like they're watching all the popular areas. I've been dungeon farming more obscure dungeons doing like 6 hours a day, bring in about 5k in that timeframe, but I go with less used zones so I rarely see other players and haven't seen a suspension on my main since I created it back in glider days.

      Post some proof please that you have been doing 6 hours a day, might go that route if other test fails.

      They didn't detect HB they're just heavily watching many instances right now (specifically botanica, pos, drak, etc). Id say use those at your own risk. Not worth it for me cause I make 10-15k a day doing 30m to an hour of just AH and I can hand farm 4-5k in an hour (not based on rare drops either) but I understand people selling gold need to run these instances because it's instant G and if you have volume it makes out.

      Like what kind of proof? Ill say that on my realm I can do a couple hours in pits of saron, a couple hours in tol vir, and a couple hours in vortex pinnacle and between gold drops, vendoring, disenchanting, and tailoring I can make it about 6k. Not that 1k/hr is great, but its been safe for me so far. Just find instances that don't seem to have a million people and maximize your profits there with professions and a shuffle or two.

      Quick update: I have now leveled a pala tank, druid healer, 2 hunters and 1 mage to 90. I choose these classes for their different armor types (except the 2 hunters ofc) so I could gear them up in timeless isle.

      The gearing up in timeless isle actually went quicker than I thought and I actually regret not leveling the original team. For I believe that that team is actually better, 3x survival hunters are the best in aoe as far as I can see, the disc priest could dish out better dps than the druid healer and the druid tank is a better OS dps for in lfg raids.

      Though I still believe that running lfr with a 5 man team in the same guild might attract unwanted attention. Like in last stand of the zandalari they just let themself fall of the bridge due to the wind. If someone pays attention, he might find it strange that 5 people of the same guild are continuously falling from the bridge :p

      The 522 honor gear is a safer way to go I think, but I haven't found a way to automate that process. Which leads to too much micromanagement. It is basically buy honor points from Commander Lo Ping and then buy the honor gear from Hayden Christophen


      Hey man, sorry for not coming back to you earlier, but gearing up with honor was more tedious than I thought without a working plugin that would convert honor or buy the items. I tried doing it with professionbuddy, but dungeonbuddy doesn't seem to work with it. If it did, I could have just made an easy profile with if justice points > and I am in townlong steppes, go convert honor, or if honor > and in townlong steppes go buy this etc.

      But now that I am 522, I couldn't get a reliable number, but it seems to be about 400/hour. You could make this about 500/600 if you were to trade in justice points for hypnotic dust, which currently goes on most servers for about 10g a pop and costs 100 JP.

      But I can't get gearbuyer to work with that vendor and anticap likes to bugout once in a while when it decides to buy hypnotic dust and dungeonbuddy decides to repair. I guess you could make hbrelog switch to the questing bot base and a questing profile that enables the anticap plugin, but I haven't got around that.

      I also am not sure if hbrelog will shut down HB to switch botbases and if it does that, if will most likely result in that annoying hbrelog has in which it will shutdown HB, because it thinks HB didn't attach. (which has been around for ages) It doesn't happen a lot, but with 5 HB's doing that 100 times a day (every 2-3 hours, I believe JP was around 1-2k a hour) , it will happen enough.

      And I also don't think you'll be even close to selling 65 stacks of hypnotic dust every day :p
