Who should be a Farmer?

I wanna talk a little bit about the type of people who farm gold, and what it takes to do this for a living.


I've ran into quite a few people in the last couple weeks who are under the impression that they can setup a buncha bots, leave them running while their afk, and come back with riches, sell them, and repeat.

This is only partially accurate, and really depends on how serious you wanna talk your farming operation.



We all know AFK farming is frowned upon, And lowers your effectiveness overall.

I'm not saying never to farm AFK, But don't make it a daily habit if you wanna be GOOD at farming/selling.
I feel a large amount of what makes me effective at this is that I'm here to watch my bots,
I'm also available to keep them from running into walls and doing stupid stuff that we all know bots do.



So far I've been able to categorize farmers into a couple categories, regular and lazy types.





Low end Farmer - Small scale, couple bots, nothing major.

Low end lazy farmer - Small scale, constant problems with bots, less than constructive about troubleshooting them, prone to bans and red flags.




Mid range farmer - half a dozen or more bots, employed diversionary tactics, vanilla accounts, and a goal in mind

Mid range lazy farmer - same amount of bots, bots afk a lot, is less then safe when trading and moving gold, bots for long hours.




Larger farmer - 12+ accounts, multiple vanillas, multiple isp, diversionary tactics and vpn or proxy enabled.

Larger lazy farmer - Multiple accounts and vanillas, running way too long every day, always getting caught in banwaves.





Take a look at your daily routine, How many bots you run, How many hours a day you run them, and how many things you do per account per day that resemble regular human play.



This economy is saturated, but not dominated in the area of the gold food chain we are all at.

The more care you pay to your operation, The less losses you suffer when things like Banwaves and Economical Exploitation bans go out.




My Advice:


If you want to be a medium or large scale farmer, and actually last for a little while,
Take the time involved and make the proper investments to ensure your accounts and operations will still be around long after they have paid for themselves in gold profits.

It's well worth it to be patient, Go for the prolonged income, Not the quick buck.





If you just want something low scale, for fun money, at least pay some attention to your bots every day, and you still need to employ vanilla accounts for trading gold around.


The common mistake everyone makes, Is Assumption.

Never assume anything you are doing is undetected and you are in the free and clear,
Operating under paranoia may save your entire setup one day.
