Risk of botting on main

I just wanted to ask what the risk of botting on a main is. Casual botting a few hours a day in human like fashions.

 

I believe it can still be done safely. I'm active on a couple of botting forums, and its not rare to see people post along the lines of:

"Lol, I've been botting since 2009 and have yet to receive a ban. Make sure to take breaks and never bot more than 8 hours a day"

But yeah, since its your main, I suggest going as human-like as possible. Switch between skills trained, do some quests, chat, anything a regular non-bot player would do. Obviously you still run the risk of getting banned, but it would be no where near as obvious as the others who think they can get away with botting 8 hours straight, no breaks, same skill.

 

It depends how much time you have invested in your main already, if you have spent hundreds of hours getting it up there than why risk it? This is your main. Do it clean. You can bot with alts while you skill your main.

 

The risk isn't as big as you think, man. If he can pattern it relatively close to actual human-like playing, he could get away with it.

Mains with a lot of legit playing time get a 2 day ban first, he can risk it till then. Once he gets caught, he can stop & wait 1 year till the 2 day ban expires. Then bot again.

 

don't risk it, if the account means alot to you just dont risk it.

 

Once you've invested hundreds of hours into something and that's what people know you by, risking it seems to be like a dumb thing to do. Then again what do I know.

 

when you never had ban with main then go , but dont bot gold because for that they perm

 

^ exactly. Just don't bot goldfarming skills like hunter/wcing/fishing/rcing.
