Discussion: Botting Risks, Tips and Deletions

[zAEBBE]

I think free accounts are deleted a lot faster, i had some free accounts time ago and they all got deleted like in 4 days

'

Yeah thats what i thought =)

They delete ppl using bot only to take the loot?

Ok guys, I`ve spent a little time on this topic compiling basically every ban claim post (including friend's of posters) to try to gather some statistics about deletions.

This isn`t perfect, for sure, but this is what we have by now, if someone has any input feel free to add.

209 posts were "analyzed":

- 172 (82,3%) used MC, 15 (7,2%) said they didn`t used. It wasn`t possible to say about the other 22.
- 79 (37,8%) had more than 1 botting char per acc, including 4 posts who had more than 1 botting char but didn`t used MC.
- 70 (33,5%) got high online times (more than 10h per day or on some days).
- 56 (26,8%) were reported by other players, 21 (10%) said for sure they didn't got reported. Many others didn't knew or didn't said anything about it.
- 66 (31,6%) were hunting on popular spawns (salamanders, coryms, OF, etc). 13 (6,2%) was on always empty spawns, including 2 who said they never saw anyone on the spawn, ever.
- 2 were deleted for using the same registration even without botting
- 8 recently came back to play on the acc, 4 of them using MC, other 4 didnt said or said they didnt used MC.
- 6 were good customers, always buying mounts/pacc/etc.
- 3 saw black HP monsters and got deleted, 2 of them when MCing, other one didn't said anything else.
- 1 was deleted when using looting only, but he was using MC while botting another acc too.
- 1 was deleted while using more randomized scripts (random paths) but with not much randomization inside spawn, and also while using MC.
- 3 was deleted for using either healing/only or anti-idle only. 1 of them while using MC for botting other accs, 1 didn't said if was using anything else, and other one said he didn't use anything at all, only 1 client and windbot with anti-idle (most disturbing case)
- NONE said that got deleted while also using Authenticator

Amount of people who didn't MC, didn't bot more than 1 char per acc, didn't get mass reported and didn't play for a high time: SIX (6)

About those 6:
1 was coming back to play after some time and hunted in a popular spawn but didn't got reported
1 was hunting on popular spawn but didn't got reported AND was a good customer
1 was hunting on popular spawn but nothing else
2 had nothing apparently bad, but didn`t said anything about randomization/authenticator
1 was only training with mad sheep with anti-idle (not easy to explain case, maybe deleted on previous acc's and blacklisted)

So, if I can give any advice: Don't MC while botting, only use 1 botting char per acc, don't hunt more than ~4h per day, avoid getting reported, interact with other people, if you are coming back to play don`t jump right into botting hard, always use authenticator (hypothesis not taken down so far), randomize further your waypoints, way of hunting, spawns, talkings with npcs.

If anyone wants I can upload this spreadsheet too, even though it's somewhat rustic and not too friendly.

I find this post of @Jesseh (Thanks for compiling all those stadistics) really interesting.. more than 80% of the posted banned accounts were using multiclient.

Does anyone use bot just to heal/other stuff while hunting manually? How is it going for you? Anyone heard of a ban for this reason?

There are reports of people getting deleted on Xeno and on Wind by only healing, however I dont know of anyone who only used heal/loot without MC or having other botting accs, that got deleted. Just see users of blackd safe cheat, a non-smart bot that just presses hotkeys with no intelligence. None reported deleted so far. With wind you could even set a good healer/looter that acts humanly, i.e. casting more manas when no monster around and reducing it's rate when there are monsters, so your char doesn't get stuck.
When I play manually I always use healer/looter/targeting, so I don't get bored, tense or with back pains, I just basically walk around the hunt spot shooting runes, healing, etc.

actually im boting with autoexploring of Mage B**T just 1 account at the same time, and still not deleted xd

[Hoihetluktniet]

In my opinion, it makes for me alot of sense, that CIP bans facc's straight away, since they earn NOTHING on facc's. I understand they will delete pacc's slower, cuz they earn on them, if they delete everybody, they wont make any money and that cant happen ofcourse... i think its pure luck, combined with mass reports etc..

That`s the acc you told you had botted for like 6h? That probably showed that for that small time their system could get you as a false positive, so they were cautious of deleting you for such small data.

Here is an interesting read, it's kinda old but still worth reading:
