I play WoW on my PC and bot on my laptop. The botting account is on a separate Battle.net email, which was made for me by a friend in Sweden. I'm just wondering if I get banned on the bot account, will this get my main account banned as well? When botting (due to being right next to my PC monitor) the laptop is monitored 100% of the time and I talk in guild chat every now and again. I don't play both accounts at the same time all the time, sometimes I let the bot run for a couple of hours before logging into my main account and the other way around. I haven't botted since MoP where I had my main account banned for farming ore, but the prices of reagents in Legion has just made it too tempting. I'm just really worried that if the bot account gets banned that my main will also incur punishment and as a hardcore raider, I don't want to risk this happening.
No you won't get banned. Even if the account was on the same battle.net, you still would not be banned if you're not botting on your main account.
Thanks, I know Blizzard have gotten a lot more vigilant on botting so I don't want to risk my main getting rekt. Thanks bro.
I think everyone should bot to the extent they feel comfortable. But if you bot, you shouldn't rule out the possibility that your account(s) may/will get banned. If you really don't want an account to get banned, don't bot. Asking in the forums about what's safe and what's not, is pretty stupid. None of us have a clue and Bossland, for obvious reasons, doesn't comment in public and with any detail. Everyone here, myself included, is just speculating - but many of us have been banned at least once. Nothing is completely safe: not supervised botting, short sessions, rotation only. Nothing. There are ban reports for pretty much every use case of Honorbuddy. If you're a hardcore raider, don't bot. You're a cheater, not hardcore - like all of us.
That's not true. If they search far enough. They will and can ban any accounts connected to your IP. Sometimes its luck of the draw
