JTHodge 0 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hello I'm looking to buy but am a little skeptical about doing this. I just want to say first off I will not be using my main account to do this and will have 2 separate accounts. My list of questions are 1) If I open my bot account and set it to farm and then open my other account just to play will the bot be picked up on both accounts and get banned on both? 2) Can a account be banned for Association with a bot? 3) Would I want to do this on a Medium or low population server?

If they have a clear enough connection via trades or other interactions between botting account and other account(s). For being on the same IP? No. 3) I'd suggest off-peak times, regardless of server population, as you're less likely to be reported by other players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 computers but I'd rather not get it out and set it up, I just don't want my main account affected at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any account that wasn't accessed while I was running the bot was never banned. However, every account that was accessed while I was running the bot, when a banwave came, was banned. Accounts that I ran on a second computer on the same IP that were 'clean' were unaffected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to just run my bot and not my real account but on the same computer could they ban me for that? I wouldn't even be signed into my main account but would they put my IP to both of those accounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the bot isn't physically running or loaded when you play your main account, even from the same computer, you should be safe. It's always better to have as much separation as possible, but as long as it's never running while you're logging into or on your main account, you should be good to go...
