Making money online.

I wanna make a quick post about what I just shared with the members of my site.


One of the MAIN things Botters like myself need when they start out,
Is MONEY to invest in accounts, and bots, and all sorts of stuff! WTF!



I laid it ALL out for them,
How to do low scale marketing for stuff you ALREADY use,
Write blogs about these products,
and even where and how to get a domain name and get the money flowing with it,
Using popular social media and networking that you already use on a daily basis.

Hit the link, Check out the site and videos, spend 20 bux, Make it back this week.

FREE MONEY IS THE BEST KIND!  :)

Making thousands of dollars while I sleep

Just as a special teaser for my readers,

I now own 40 World of Warcraft accounts.

Each account makes around 3k gold a day.

Even at a low ballpark of 100k gold a day, That’s 200$ a day.

Who else is making thousands of dollars a month letting a game play itself?

Get in on the action now, slackers.

Common Issues with Wow Bots

Here some are common issues I notice.

Please do not post your issues here,
But feel free to post issues that already have solutions.

This is not a support request thread,
Let's keep it that way.

This is mainly directed at the questions I get that are already provided here on the forums.


1: Make sure your anti virus and firewall is off (off, not disabled)

2: Make sure you have 1 (and only 1) installation of the 2005 c++ framework

3: If you are using vista or 7, you may need to run the bot as admin or use compatibility mode(s)

4: Be sure your computer is spyware and virus free.

Here are some LEGIT and FREE programs that work really well.
(http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html)
(http://www.malwarebytes.org/)


5: Make sure you have removed all previous installations of the bots before installing new ones.
(This means delete the file and folders, not download and replace with new files.)


6: Do not run addons with any of the bots.

7: Be sure to play in 800x600, with no ui scaling.

8: Make sure your Keyboard is set to US English.

9: Do not use the same patrol for each choice in your bot path tab.
''''
Example:
"razor hill=attack" cannot be used for patrol, res, and to town patrol.

You will need "razorhillattack", "razorhill-res", "razorhill-totown" and so forth.
''''


10: Make sure your keybindings are set to DEFAULT.
I don't care what the old tutorials show you, Remove all your keybindings.


11: Read the document or tutorial that comes with your specific bot,
They have pictures and information that help new users setup and get botting.

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?

So the new site is ALMOST up.

I'm going to be moving my personal blog to Mmoglider
And the new members site for info on How to make real money playing Wow will be at Video Games Pay My Bills

Hope to see you there!

One of the last posts I will make here.

I Wanted to make a few last posts to let you guys know what we are doing.

We are currently working on getting the site up at www.videogamespaymybills.com


I've been keeping an eye on the economy and the shift based on the change in prices of frost lotus and a couple other items.

On the new site we will be establishing proven methods of making gold other then just gathering.

I will also be spilling the proverbial beans about how to sell all this crazy gold without ever getting caught.

Interested? Seriously?

Keep your eyes open for the new site...

There is still time to donate and get my 1 on 1, before its too late!

Another Topic

Another thing I wanted to add,

I'll be talking a lot about how to create and register "Vanilla" WoW accounts without the use of credit cards or paypal or any form of payment.

:)

Things I will cover on the new website.

I wanted to list some of the subjects I will bet talking about on the new site.


Botting for gold
Firewalls
VPN
Botting through firewall or vpn or proxy.

Multiple tactics involving trading gold,
storing gold,
and moving gold cross server. (forget that pesky 20k limit)

Specific info on When to bot and when not to,
Who to sell your gold to, and when you should do so.

Foreign and Domestic economical information and how it effects botting and the virtual economy.

General guidelines and provided math that allow subscribers to calculate possible profits.


videogamespaymybills.com

coming soon to a blogsite near you, keep reading and tell your friends.

:)

Change is coming.

So many changes coming soon,

Class changes, Patch changes, and soon my Blog will become part of something larger.

There has been talk and rumors of a Guide, a Guide that details a ton of things.

Mainly, How to MAKE and SELL your online virtual currency and turn it into real money.



If anyone still wants insider info into how to do this before it becomes a full blown website, Now is to the time to contact me and donate.


The upcoming patch will effect the prices of many items being farmed on a regular basis by botters and hand farmers alike,

This Guide will have multiple well planned out solutions with pictures and explanations in detail on new areas and types of farming.

Get with me soon, or keep an eye out for the new site...

Monday and Tuesday make me sketch.

Oh how true it is, I really do hate Mondays and Tuesdays for botting and gold selling.


I'm not sure when I adopted the idea that Monday was a no-no,
But I'm fairly sure it was when I saw 3 farmers and 2 vanillas get banned on a Monday morning 9am for chain selling gold on 3 servers in under a half hour.

I was present for this transaction (my buddy was selling gold on 3 servers after a brisk round of laser tag) and had been seated next to him.

The first and second transaction went down just fine, Client got the gold, or the guild, and all was well.

Once he logged on the third and final server, He made his way to Ratchet bank and danced till the client arrived to take the gold.

While waiting for this client to arrive, His vanilla was disconnected.
Upon logging back in, He found his vanilla had been banned.

He immediately checked battle.net to see if he could log into the account management on his other accounts....

All 3 of the farmers that the gold came off of, plus both the vanillas used during that mornings sales had all been banned for exploitation of the economy.

OH CRAP!

Let me tell you he was pretty damn upset.

I devised later that a GM had been watching him the entire time (he used one IP)
and had waited for the last transaction so they could ban not only all his active farmers but take notice of who the client was who was purchasing the sums of gold also.


Monday is pure evil.
When I had regular jobs, on the days where I felt like working, Monday was always the "hit the bricks" and "back to the grind" days, Where you tried to recoup for last week, Or tried to get ahead by getting as much done as possible.

The same rule applies to selling gold and farming imo.
On Monday mornings, IMO, The GM Staff that is dedicated to the gold sales and economy related offenses, is on in full force and actively looking for deals going down.

This is why I NEVER SELL GOLD ON MONDAY. For real, I never do.







Now on to Tuesdays...
Tuesday is patch day, downtime day, restarts day, whichever one Blizzard picks, all of them are your enemy, and mine.

We all already know (or should) that Warden can be updated at any time without sending any customer a patch or prompting them to download a file.


However, Why willingly add to the pile of potential signatures and updates by hitting the floor running with your Army of bots the second the servers come up Tuesday morning?

In almost all cases, I don't even open a bot on Tuesday.
As some of you know, the Mimicusa team is located overseas, and they generally get online around 5pm cst, So Tuesdays I sit back and wait for them to get on and give the updates a review.


If there are no updates that particular day, There may be extended downtime.
There may also be rolling restarts, and partial restarts, or any of thee above.

I don't care if Blizzard paints rainbow ponies everywhere and says Botters welcome,
I never ever bot on Tuesday, ever, ever, ever, ever.

Imo, The chance of running into something unfriendly are greatly increased after a fresh server restart, Or a very recent server maintenance.





The top question I get on Tuesdays...

"Hack, when the servers are up will it be safe to bot?"
Nobody is able to know that till the servers actually come up and any new content can be identified and inspected.


"I saw no updates, Am I safe to fire up my 9000 bots?"
Although I imagine you would be able to fire them all up,
Why would you wanna be one of the thousands of people who do the exact same thing?




From an IT standpoint, The easiest way to find a flaw in your server or program is to restart it.
You get a fresh look at everything running, and are able to catalog sequences and information for later review.

I take this to heart, and apply it to Blizzards tactics as well.
If I can figure it out, I guarantee they already do it.


Hope this helps.

Food for thought.

I wanted to share the success of one of my first donating readers.

I will refer to him as "Andy"


Andy was one of the first people to contact me from my blog and make a donation to me.

That same day Andy called me and we talked for a few minutes about what he had account wise,
what computers he had available, and what sort of spare time he was working with.

Andy has 12 accounts, 4 computers, each computer running 3 bots.
He bots 8-12 hours a day, usually running 4-6 accounts at a time and swapping out every shift.

He ranges 3-4k a day in sales from gathering, fishing, and pet farming, as well as auction house sniping and alchemy.

He shared this screenshot with me the other day of his $1000 week of gold sales and donations to his operation.





Just a little food for thought. That's 4 grand a month, more than most people make with full time jobs.

When he started out, he was getting banned every other month, and barley able to hold on to 100k before getting his accounts closed.

Stupid people make terrible botters

The title of this post pretty much says it all.

Working for Mmomimic, I have to reserve myself and work with less than mentally acute people on a regular basis. This is part of my job and I have no problem with it.
Not everyone works on the same level and the amount of support they may need differs.


But, when said people walk into the botting world and expect to make money off it,
Then you get to read about my opinions on the matter in my blog! :)




The basics and my title are very true, STUPID people make TERRIBLE botters.

Why is this you ask?

1: Troubleshooting your software:

Stupid people are unable to troubleshoot their bots, unable to read clearly provided information on the forums, and in most cases unable to use their space bar and enter keys/form coherent sentences.




2: Stupid people do the dumbest stuff:

I had a guy tell me the other day he farmed every waking moment he was not raiding, with a /DND tag on. I did not even bother reprimanding him,
As I was sure it would not be nearly enough to provoke a sense of awareness. *




3: Level of awareness: *

This is not only the system I grade botters by, But I also use it to gauge people irl on a daily basis, as well as over IM and such.

When I run into support posts like "My bot crashes 16 hours after I go afk",
I can't help but facepalm a bit.
The most common answer to Why this happens is: "Don't know I was afk"

Seriously? Sit your ass down and WATCH your bots for a few.
The more hands in involvement you have with your bots the better.
There are no successful afk gold farmers.

If you're the kinda person who can run face first into people while walking in public,
You might start exercising your level of awareness.




4: In-Game retardation :

Most of the dumber players and botters I experience are also completely socially inept in game as well.
For class sake I'll call then all NE Hunters.
These newb hunters are retarded!
Trolling Trade, Ninja looting, And all around saying completely irrelevant or inappropriate things.
This is one of the main reasons I do not join social guilds,
There is always one 14 year old NE Hunter with a pet named ADAMWEST and 6k gearscore ready to squeak his voice at me on vent. PASS.




5: Younger players and schedules:

At least half of the people that fall under these categories are under 18.
Now that's not to say there are not some brilliant and capable minors,
I myself was already an entrepreneur by then, But not everyone moves at the same pace.

But daily life will get in the way of a serious botting operation.
This also ties in with NOT botting afk for long periods of time.

Most of the younger crowd bots while at school, asleep, or socializing with friends.
While the appeal of bots working hard to earn you money while you're gone is awesome,
It's not the safe route to take, and it's nearly impossible to convince a minor with a schedule otherwise.




6: Lets face it, Stupid people make poor decisions:

One of the biggest poor decisions stupid botters make,
Is botting for EXTENDED periods of time, far longer than any player not addicted to meth could stand to buttonmash per day/week.

Also things like dnd tags, or being in a raiding guild and botting afk, showing off the gold you are making, talking about it in game,
even using codewords like "my little brother is playing" is stupid, If I can come up with this stuff, I guarantee Blizzard knows already.
..........................................................................



Take a look at yourself, your daily life, the people you surround yourself with.
Which type of person are you? Are you mentally acute? Could you stand to give your brain a workout more often?
Being honest with yourself and actualizing REAL goals will benefit anyone who applies them to daily life once visualized.

I'm a firm believer in self realization and being honest with yourself.



Confucius says: "The true diplomat thinks twice before saying nothing"







Mmoglider.org

Which days and why?

I'm going to share a story today, and touch on a subject or two related.


In the last week, I've received some Donations from readers concerned with their level of security, and curious to learn about my tactics to filter, move, and sell gold.


I was presented with this situation the other morning...

For all intents and purposes, we will call the guy in question "tom",
Edited for dramatic effect as well. (lol)





Tom: Hi hack, Is there a ban wave or is it just me?

Me: I've seen nothing about a ban wave, What happened?



Tom: Well I sold xxx gold to an unknown buyer, He scammed me after I traded the gold.

Me: That sucks, You should stick with well known buyers



Tom: Well I was in a hurry and decided to take a risk

Me: Bummer!



Tom: So to make up for being scammed, I botted 24/7 on this toon and it got banned.

Me: Sounds like both of those actions were wrong. (I bet you know who you are by now)


............................................................................


This is a PRIME example of why patience is an important virtue for the serious gold farmer who has intentions of lasting in this field.
He did not tell me if he used a Vanilla account to trade said gold,
But I'm going to assume he did not, Based on his decision making previous to.





With most internet ventures, The quick buck is never the best.
Ask anyone else who makes real money from the trade,
Especially Brandon (owner of mmomimic).

Maximizing your income potential starts at the foundation,
Controlling your impulses, Keeping it out of your head and on to paper helps me a lot.

Many people get consumed by this job, It becomes more of a mental newspaper then a book with plans and goals and guidelines.



Some of you might know I always strongly suggest not mixing wow "playing" with farming as a job.

This is just another tool needed to solidify this is a job and not something to supply your main 80 with gold for icc25.

Part of making this a reality is being able to separate your love for the game and it's content with the need to upkeep and maintain accounts/gold/bots etc.




My Advice:

If you seriously want a botting operation that can pay some or all of your bills,
Be ready to single out one account you want to play, and STICK WITH IT.

Don't directly fund your playing account with ANY funds or items from your farmers.

Instead employ the guild vaults!
I know this might be hard for some of you that have mains already in guilds,
But with a tiny bit of creativity you can keep your playing account stocked and not throw up any red flags.


And again, With patience, GET SOME OF IT.
People get too emotionally wrapped up in this game, and this job, and forget it's still both of those things, A GAME, and A JOB.

I dunno about you guys, But games are supposed to be fun, and Jobs are supposed to be successful.

Mmoglider.org

Just a quick tip.

Just a quick tip for my readers,

Part of the patch is coming through via downloader right now.

The leak sites say this is just partial patch info and the patch will not be going live yet,
But to me an update is an update, its license to turn off the bots.

This is the well known patch that will completely fuck the prices of Frost Lotus, and cut what most farmers make in half on a daily basis.

Be sure NOT TO BOT TONIGHT OR TOMORROW if you have any sort of desire to keep your accounts and remain undetected.

Patch days and those that follow make me nervous, I suggest my readers sit tight and watch before hopping back on the botting bandwagon.

Keep reading as I will be posting info on how to bounce back from this patch.

Where should I farm? What should I farm?

So what do people farm you ask?
What should you be farming in order to keep your gold profits high?


Well, Most people who farm on a high end level right now have multiple types of farming operations going.





Type 1: Gathering bots with Herbalism and Mining.

These bots are designed to fly around, gather herbs and ore, and then return to town or mail off said items.
The most common items farmed with this method are:

Frost Lotus, Eternal Life, Titanium Ore, Adder's Tongue, Goldclover, Deadnette, Tiger Lilly.

These items are commonly sold on the AH, or used in conjunction with trade skills like Alchemy to create other items of value for players.





Type 2: Fishing bots with cooking

That's right! Level yourself a fisherman and bust out the daily quests, get yourself a nice pole and all the nifty +fishing stuff, and start collecting those high end fish!

Cooking compliments this skill as posting tons of fish in the AH can be boring and flooding the market is not always a good thing.

Level your cooking and make/sell Fish fears and Buff food for pve/raid severs.






Type 3: Drop farming

This can include farming any mob that drops a specific item of value.

Some of the more commonly farmed items are:

Captured Firefly ( http://www.wowwiki.com/Captured_Firefly)
Eternal Fire (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37702)
Dark Whelpling (http://www.wowwiki.com/Dark_Whelpling)
Hyacinth_Macaw (http://www.wowwiki.com/Hyacinth_Macaw)





My Advice:

Try different farming methods, See which one you like best.

Some people can't handle listing stacks of stuck for hours every day, and some can.

I personally like the diversity of items being sold, It helps keep daily auctioning from becoming tedious.

If you are in a guild, You might take notice of the things people spend a lot of their gold on on a regular basis.
This ties in to locating items on your server that can be economically controlled.

Essentially anything you can create or collect that costs you less or nothing compared to what the buyer pays for it, is good profit.
