dunno if title is fit , but i will explain , hope you guys have more experience with this. I lost my main account few months back and i haven't botted since then, but i would like to use a secondary account to bot a bit for some mats when i'm at work, cause i can use teamviewer to monitor it. (ill just use GB2 with option to fill bags and logout, small amount of botting). the main account that i lost got banned permanently , was my mistake, too greedy after bg rep gaining so my question is now like this : Is it safe to bot on my PC as long as i dont use my main account in same time with the botting account? will it be safe to leggit play when i dont have bot open? i mean will the bot show up that blizz can discover?
If you're not a hardcore chinese gold seller, they won't take action against an IP. Ofc, as always, no guarantees, don't bot on anything you're not willing to lose, etc...
well, my point is if there are processes that remains in the ram or somewhere else... i will use bot on diff account, then restart pc and play leggit on my main account, thats why i want to be sure that there will be no leftovers from the bot in my ram or somewhere else. im a bit paranoic since i lost my 5 years work , and now im rebuilding
My opinion: Your hardware ID is the bigger problem than the shared IP. An IP can be shared (roommates, NAT'ed dormitory, small ISP, someone stealing/sharing your WiFi, etc). Your hardware ID tells them it was YOUR PC in both cases. I did this for awhile when I started my new RAF'ed accounts, but only during the RAF period. Now I'm letting the RAF'ed account (the one with the mount) stew in unsubscribed land for awhile and when I bring it back on it will be only on a laptop I can dedicate to this account. Main account will never be on the laptop, Bot account will never be on the main PC. If you're just botting, you don't need some amazing machine to run a single WoW process. Use something like Synergy if you want to control the bot laptop screen with the same mouse/keyboard (RDP works but is too hard to control the window well if you need to quickly take it over). You can also use something like VMWare, but I prefer to truly have 2 machines, as it also gives the outbound IP data a different MAC address (and I don't like bogging down my main PC with virtual machines). Otherwise: YES ... you have a risk. Even sharing the IP is a risk, but sharing the hardware ID makes it much worse.
A while ago I banned the account, do you think if I buy another account already know that this is going to be involved? If you re-start the modem's IP changes, you refer to that IP?
