I just started botting my DK, got 1-600 mining/herbing in pandaria and after like 2 days of farming 8 hrs or so a day I got perma banned
That is a gross over exaggeration and people should stop spreading information like that. On my main account I have a tauren druid that back before I used HB, I used him for farming and it only makes sense if you are farming ore to also farm herbs. Hence lots of non bot herb/miners out there as alts to make money.
Oh yeah that was probably bad, I went straight to farming after i went 1-600, might have been the reason idk
I actually barely ever played that character that's why im suprised, it was 90 for a long time, I just randomly got it to 600 mining herbing and started farming
