Guys pls how save is it to have on 1 PC my main account and one botting account. Main account is never botted, second acc scarcely, only to gain enough gold for gametime, both accounts never run simultaneously, not the same battle.net, nor contact info. How safe would u say my main account will be? Thanks a lot
Bots are detected when they're attached to an account. As long as you don't EVER run Honorbuddy when you're logged into your main account, you should be just fine.
So basically to answer your question it is impossible to tell how safe it is to bot. But the times are harsh at the moment and the likelihood of your account being suspended within a short period of time is greater now than ever.
This is the general consensus and my conclusion. However, to clarify, many people also state that it is safe to run HB on another instance of WoW while you are still playing your main, on the same computer. You do not have to run your bots on a different computer than your main. The main can always be banned for exploitation of economy, although it does not seem likely.
That theory of blizzard losing money because of tokens is such a load... where does the token come from, thin air? Someone paid for it, and even paid for it more than the regular subscription fee. If anything, blizzard makes more money when a token is used. Sorry about the derailment, but we don't need false statements being propagated.
Blizzard saying: ''We care about the game and community'', is the biggest load of crap ever. I would rather believe in existence of werewolves and vampires, than this. There was a time when blizzard cared, during wc2 and wc3, and its expansion. They are a shit company, raking in that last bit of money. Imagine the dough they get now, after tens of thousands of botters wanting to buy new accounts. Not just accounts, legion expansion as well. And their economy bans are hilarious. What do you even do when you legitimately sit on 10m for example and have everything? I guess you just let it sit, right?
This is only when a token is used by a legitimate player, botters gathering gold to buy tokens reduces Blizzards income, even though the overall income since the introduction of tokens has increased, that's just logic.
Yeah I haven't seen a single legitimate ban report that a main got banned for being associated with botting accounts. Maybe if you make no effort to smuggle the gold and just mail your main millions of gold over and over then you can get caught. However, you can't get banned for using third party software on an account that you did not use third party software. It would be an economy exploitation ban if anything.
I think its because they have a thanksgiving/black friday sale coming soon so they just wanna make sure they get the most $$ out of it by banning us.
