Wow Bot, Staying safe while power leveling to 80.

Due to a huge demand for a post outlining the tactics I employ,
Here it is.



I will post Q and A as I can remember it,
And will accept questions from you guys in the form of Q: A:

Please stick to this so we can keep this thread clean and constructive.

No walls of text, please use your space bar and try and form entire words.



Q: Hacks0i how many IP addresses or ISP (internet service providers) do you have/use with your army of bots?


A: I have TWO different internet services, and I employ a VPN.












Q: What sort of operating system based tactics do you employ?

A: With XP AND Vista, I bot on GUEST accounts with limited access and without the ability to alter major system files.











Q: How many hours a day do you bot?
Q:How many bots do you use?

A: I own 13 Wow Accounts,
I try not to bot more than 6 or 8 hours a day.
I personally feel avoiding a "bot like" pattern helps me not look like someone who relies on software on a daily basis to play wow for him.

I take breaks, randomly log toons off, spit on people, dance in town,
And do my share of bgs/quests/trade chatting.










Q: Which bot(s) do you personally use?

A: I use and specialize in Silverbolt.
Although I have copies of and can use all 3, I like Silverbolt the best.

If I purchase an account that needs a couple levels or something,
I will bust out elite for a day or two.












Q: How do you avoid being banned all these years?



A: I like to think it's my level of paranoia.
I NEVER bot AFK,
I NEVER bot heavily botted areas (like shol basin and storm peaks),
It's just not worth it.

When I bot, I do it on an alternate computer (just for botting)
And I leave the bot(s) windows top and active.










Q: Do you wait to bot after restarts and updates?


A: YES!, Every time there is a Phantom restart or "this server needs maintenance blah blah" when downtime is not scheduled,
I turn off my bots and grab a cup of tea and turn on Adult Swim.

I have always personally felt those who snipe the servers status and
make it a point to be back on immediately have a reason to want to get back to wow so quickly.

If I can come up with that observation, I assume Blizzard can as well.










Q: How do you buy/sell/trade gold without getting banned?


A: You need to buy Vanilla (wow and 30 days free playtime) accounts,
And get yourself a prepaid credit card from 711 or Walgreens.

Activate your Vanilla accounts with this card,
Use it to join your guilds, trade your gold, and so forth.

Throw these accounts away each month, And get new ones.

14 dollars a month is nothing to spend to be able to farm and sell all your gold without the hassle of being banned for exploitation of the economy.

I suggest employing some sort of IP spoofing/VPN/proxy when you use your Vanilla gold trading account.






Q: Do you use elite?


A: Yes, But not on a regular basis.
I have never been a fan of running around in circles all day every day killing stuff.
No real player ever does this, And definitely does not do it for 16 hours a day.

No real player spends all day chatting and pvping and then kills caribou ALL night.

I personally feel grinding on mobs should be limited to the same time frame as Silverbolt and PVP, 6-8 hours a day.

We here at MMOMIMIC, and the team at MIMICUSA both strongly suggest not overbotting, Despite your desire for those quick levels.





Before I do anything, I ask myself,
Would a real player do this?
Could a real player stand to do this for this long?
What would a real player do WHILE doing this?
