So there hasn't been much discussion about this, and maybe this isn't the right place for this kind of thread? If not just go ahead and delete it, but I was wondering if you guys had any tips on asset protection. I know that they ***** down way harder on credit selling than they do botting, and I was wondering if anyone had tips on the best ways to make sure that your actual Mule isn't the account that gets banned, and possibly if there are ways to protect your bot from it as well. Does credit laundering through the AH work? Trading it across multiple accounts? Are there any tips that anyone feels comfortable sharing? I'm just trying to make sure I have the most efficient process as I possibly can.
most use regular mail, others use guildbanks, let buyer join guild, take his amount from it and guild kicked.
Ahh... so that means you have to subscribe with your bot then since you can't use mail as F2P? What's wrong with the Auction house? I hadn't thought about the guild thing. That is more discrete than trading or the AH I suppose.
With FTP, there is a severe limitation on the amount of credits you can keep (200k-300k or something). So those accounts are fairly useless when it comes to selling or muling.
I understand that... I had just intended on minimizing the amount of accounts I'd have to pay for. It's one of the reasons I picked SWTOR. It seems to me it would be completely plausible to only have the mule be a subscriber account, while the botters and any in between accounts were FTP. I guess I was just curious to see if people had tips in that regard. Seems to me it would be perfectly possible to have your bots transfer credits to the mule through the AH. Is that just really non-discrete is that why people don't like that option?
That's worth a shot. It's hard to say just how effectively Bioware is searching for bots and sellers because there have been so few bans lately. I suspect that just before the expansion drops, we'll get a pretty wicked ban wave; at that point, we might have some idea as to which methods did and didn't work this time around. Also, keep in mind that the security team there likely reads this forum...
That would make sense, I guess that's probably why we don't see a lot of people talking about it here
