everytime I try to make gold with the bot I get banned. So do like others, farm ores/herbs by yourself...
At this moment it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you put it on AH. I'm making gold with just about everything in the game at the moment. At a rate of about 10k per hour, average, per character.
Last time I used Honor buddy just to level up my skills in mining and herb gathering I got banned life in only 20 hours. And it was the profile included in the profession buddy bot.
You probably went to take care of them uber noobs on your Xbox video game console. Meanwhile your bot is stuck running into a wall.
The brilliant thing is, you dont even have to bot to make gold. The available plots and mining/herbing your garrison provide you are plenty to make a decent amount of gold. I have made 70k the past few days just by making the Cards for the trinket using the scribe plot. That income wont last through the expansion but it sure does help with the beginning
