Like the title says, I need a VPN service for my bots. SoftEther VPN is crap, I can't keep a connection alive for more than a few hours before it dies. I've been away for a while and the ones linked to in the old guides don't appear to be around anymore. Any suggestions?

Same here, just stashes items in the first inventory column, then moves on. I'm not even using smart pickit.

Nice, I've been looking for something like this. Damn vpngate drops all the time.

I used to look forward to game updates...now I dread them. Quit breaking our shit GGG! lol

I'd seen some people over at that "other" bot site talking about how they were literally finding nothing with their bots, and they were speculating their accounts had been flagged. I assumed it was hyperbole or paranoia, but looks like that is exactly what they're doing. Pretty sneaky of GGG. Sorry if this has already been discussed, but this was the first actual confirmation I'd seen of this. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/578923/page/1

Same here. It would be an awesome elite feature, I know a lot of folks would pay for that.

Well, I can't speak to whether or not it hurts the game, but I would have quit already if it weren't for botting. I also wouldn't have spent more money buying more micro transactions either. Like a lot of others, I enjoy botting more than actually playing the game, and I'm not even selling anything for money.

Alk, any chance you could update these scripts again when you get a chance? I don't mind sending a few bucks your way for the the trouble. Can't stand having to spam pots all the time!

Hah, that's exactly what I told my wife the other day "every morning is like Christmas!". I recently lost all my bots and I decided to go legit for a while, no more botting. That lasted all of three days. I realized real quick, I enjoy botting this game a lot more than playing it. I don't use RMT or anything, I just enjoy the thrill of opening up that stash to see what new goodies I've got. These guys have done a great job, glad I could donate to the cause.

Yeah, they've banned a shit ton of people in the last few days, myself included. Their account investigation team is so backed up with people trying to get their accounts back they can't handle the volume. I suspect they're trying to clean things up before release. Oh, and yes, if you care anything about your accounts, I'd strongly suggest not doing anymore botting until this bot gets more sophisticated. We need more natural behavior very badly, otherwise its just too easy for them to recognize the patterns.

Sorry to hear that man. I hope you can get your main back too. Thanks, hope I can get it back too, I invested a lot of time in that account. Oh well, I knew the risks, that's what I get I suppose. Thing is, I never did any RMT, only farmed for my main cause I got so sick of the horrible drop rates, but anyone using RMT is just going to start over with a new account and IP. They aren't going to fix anything with their bans, only stop people like me who actually gave them money from playing anymore. Once this not gets more sophisticated, they're really gonna have a hard time stopping anyone from using RMT. Hell, maybe I'll just start some new bots and use d2jsp to gear up a new main. They'd be none the wiser then.

Lost all my accounts, including my main yesterday. Never bottled my main, only traded with my bots, and all of them were running on different computers thrpugh a VPN. They all got hit at the exact same time, I watched it happen. They ARE watching trades, because thats the only way they would have known to ban my main. Gonna see if I can at least get my main back, but if not, I'm done with PoE.

I can't get it to work. Was hoping to cast enfeeble on kole in lunaris, but the bot just never casts it.

Set minLifeRatioToQuit: 0.0

Thanks for sharing. Were you botting 24/7? Using the same MAC/IP address for both bot and main acct?

I'm currently botting on my main 12-15 hours a day, no breaks, no proxy, no mac spoofing, running on my main computer, etc. Haven't been banned. I haven't been banned yet either, but that doesn't mean anything.

We definitely need to figure out what's tipping them off. I figured if your main got banned because you we're botting it, that's just the risk you run, but If you can get your main banned for just trading with your bot...that's a much bigger deal, at least to me. I run my bots through a VPN on a completely seperate machine from my main. I never run my bots on the same computer or network as my main either. That's not going to make a difference though if you can get banned just for trading. I'm not going to do anymore botting for a little while...I at least want to be able to play at release.

Those who had their mains banned, were you botting with them, or were you just trading between you bot and main account?

Thanks Alk! I can't even play without these scripts anymore, you're a life saver. Sending a donation your way today. Any chance you could fill us in on how to update these scripts for the next patch? Comparing the new/old files, it just looks like a few memory addresses change. I don't know if WrongUsername is going to keep these updated anymore, so it would be great if the community could do it.

I'll second that. Seems like it should be an easy fix, but what do I know.

I don't know, but I sure wish they'd fix that. My doofus guy runs straight out into the middle of the first pack outside the wp and stands there getting his ass kicked while he's trying to cast auras and ends up dying every time. Its making docks essentially impossible for me atm. If someone knows how to fix this, please fill me in.

Working like a champ. Ran my bot through Docks today and he cleared the whole map, no problem. Very nice work.

Awesome, can't wait to try running some docks!

Just seeing if there had been any further developments on pathfinding and if/when we'll get some stashing options. Looked like you guys were pretty close on path finding about a week ago, but its been quiet since. I'm hoping some stashing is in the works too, I hate to think how many alts/alchs I'm missing out on cause I have to leave rares on the ground. You guys have done a great job so far, if we can get these features added I'll be more than happy to throw some money your way. Thanks for the hard work!

Is that a path I see there?
