A bit worried after a recent ban(s)...

[Spaceguy911 2]

Hey, so I have a main and then like 6 alt accounts.  They kind of have different purposes.  I have only ever botted on 2 of the alt accounts.  Well, I was botting reaaaally heavy on one of the accounts and it got banned.  Okay..so, no big deal, that was expected I suppose.  But then I randomly logged into one of my alt accounts and realized it too was banned.  I was like wtf...didn't think much of it (never botted on that account.  never traded currency to a bot account..never rmt'd etc).

 

Then today I got curious and tried logging into my other accounts.  They are ALL banned.  and...as mentioned above, definitely 1 and likely 2 of the accounts never had any illegal activity what-so-ever.  

 

My main account is not banned...My main account is a supporter account on many levels, and I've been playing for about a year.  What happened here?  I don't VM, I don't VPN.

 

Did they get wise to me and just say "okay we're going to ban this little shit's accounts, but we'll give him mercy and keep his main open".  I mean, can they ban my legit alt accounts just because I share the same IP?  Couldn't it theoretically be a family member or something?  

 

Has anyone experienced something along these lines?

Are you saying all your 7 characters shared the same IP? That's like suicide.

Obviously the GMs said this:

"Okay fuck this guy, botting and shit, thinking it's not obvious. So we'll ban the rest of this shitter's accounts, but we noticed he's been a player/supporter here for a very long time. So, we'll keep a good image and ban the non-supporter accounts. Great. Fuck this dude. Layta bitch."

what do we learn from this? get supporter status and bot happily 24/7?

No.,  I actually invested a small sum of MTX into each of the botter accounts (i only bottted on like 2 or 3 at different times).  doesn't work.  It MAY have, but they're getting too big.  and the auto-pot shit that leaked on reddit (about the top guy on ladder using it), and GCPman doing whatever the fuck he was doing... ye, no go.

YUP!  That's what I believe too.  Well... I'll count myself lucky, and try to figure out how to VPN.  I actually figured it out last night.  Now I just need to learn how to set up my VM (per Walter White's guide) to be able to play PoE with more than 10 fucking FPS drops every 2 seconds ^_^

dxtory, two processors per vm

Since we're at it... When you run multiple VMs, does each VM use resources from each core roughly evenly? If yes, does it mean an 8-core cpu is always better than a 4-core cpu for multibotting?
