So I bought VIP/Mirror mode for the first time a couple weeks ago and built up 3 goldfarming accounts since then. Just last night I had bought my fishing goldfarmer a bond so he could start on sharks in the fishing guild. Woke up and every account logged in was chainbanned.
About accounts banned:
x1 Shark Fisher (76 fishing, 63 wc) only account that was p2p. I literally had just bought it a bond before it got banned in the morning.
1x Yew chopper (Nothing special, just a 62 wc yew cutter)
1x Main goldfarmer (Best goldfarming account. Was pretty decent)
1x Misc. goldfarmer (Similar to main goldfarmer, little lower stats)
About how I botted:
- Played at least a few hours legit on each account. Included easy quests,
- ALWAYS ran each account on mirror mode.
- No Proxies/VPN/VPS
- Tried to bot 10 hours at most with 30 min breaks every hour. Got a little carried away with this and would rotate accounts and bot almost all day, probably why I got banned. Botted mostly while I slept, sometimes during midday on weekdays. Never botted much if any on update days.
- Completely unique user/email/passwords. They were hotmail emails too, my first and main 3 goldfarmers had email confirmed.
- Only botted using premium SDN scripts.
- Deleted random.dat file (or whatever its called)
- All f2p except shark fisher who just had bond activated.
- Never more than 4 botting at once.
- Used a single aged, never botted splashing account as a mule
Wealth lost: 3m+ (Including bond I had just bought).
I know about how proxies are supposed to prevent this but I was never entirely sure. Dont want to invest more money on a $4 proxy if it doesnt do any good or I could just buy a bond for one of my bots with that money. Would rather risk chainban unless its really worth buying a $4 proxy for each account thatll only last for a month.
I had made some backup accounts a few days ago who arent banned now so they are currently training to be my next farmers. Still unsure how I should train them since I planned on making them yew cutters but that will probably get me chainbaanned again. Probably not going to buy a bond for one of my farmers for awhile if ever again.
Any help, tips, advice, or calling me a dumbass because I did something really stupid would be great and would help.
Thanks. Stay safe everyone. Lahey out.
