Hi all,
I have just started botting and read that the best way to not get banned is to write my own script, so that is what I did, but unfortunately all of my bots seem to get banned within a couple hours of running.
The bot in question is a Tab Scamming bot (you've probably seen them in the GE before) with somewhat simple actions - spamming in chat, trading with players who trade you, giving timed replies and declining trade after a set period of innactivity. The script itself could definitely use some improvements, but it does the job it's meant to and I haven't observed any abnormal behaviour on the most recent version. I also haven't yet implemented any anti-ban/anti-pattern as I do not know how. I am also botting from my home IP, which has never been botted on before.
I realise that this particular type of bot will definitely attract significantly more reports, but it seems the other tab scamming bots I see aren't banned anywhere near as quickly.
I suppose my question is this - is adding anti-ban and/or anti-pattern likely to help? Or is it likely the issue lies within the script itself?
I also do plan on eventually getting premium and using mirror mode, but I wanted to make sure that the script was completely ready before moving onto that. Would mirror mode help at all?
Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question
