Anyone have an opinion HOW this account could get a 72h ban? Super defensive botting. I really suspect gatherbuddy to be detectable - somehow. This was with a fresh account : I made a last attempt to bot materials needed by my main for alchemy and jewelcrafting. Botted for 2 hours, then took break for 4-6 hours. Changed profiles daily so he didnt went the same places. Did some arena games, world bosses, dungeons etc to add some other activity to the account. Never sold the materials on AH, never used COD'ing to my main. Supervised the account while i was playing on my main, so i watched the bot like 95% of the time on a screen next to me. STILL got banned - there's a flaw in gatherbuddy2 for sure. Dont use it. You WILL get banned eventually, despite being very careful as above.
looks to me you have to learn how to bot smart, my man. I bot 1 hour a day, it is safe, you're overdoing it.
Turn that sarcasm off thanks Botting for 1 hour a day isnt even worth the trouble. I mean, 1 hour isnt even getting full bag with mats. Honorbuddy has gotten too big, or greedy - i dont know. If you can get banned by the way i botted, then something is wrong. Sorry, i just dont buy it anymore.
Tracking the same route flown it's not very human to take the same route always and this is what many people like me think is what causes bans by the automated system blizzard uses.
