What's the line to not cross for botting?

Most people will tell you this question has been asked and answered a lot and that you should of searched before making a new thread on it.. I however embrace threads of the same thing. It means more traffic for the site and more, if not better answers to the same questions. That being said.

The best way i think to not get caught botting is to just not bot as much.. Leveling your character fast is a dead give away.. try to only level each character 10 levels a day. maybe make it 5 levels once you hit level 60. Also, try to only run 100 to maybe 150 runs per day on each account. But i would stick with 100.

don't listen to people when they say having titles, stats, quests, or transformation skills helps you not get banned. Nexon's system detects the way an account looks and bans it based upon those stats. Just don't use it as much and if you must bot all day, do multiple accounts and 100 runs each.

+1 I Approve this post.

also when selling try not to sell tons of crap all at once, like say... 100 magic powders and 100 empowered enhancement stones etc etc, put like 10-20 in at a time and dont add any more in untill the first 10-20 have sold already as it wont cost you any more to add them in like that anyways, same fee, just wait a bit.
selling tons of stuff all at once is also a dead giveaway

It's really kinda hit/miss at this point. For instance: since I moved over to west I've had a bot running fairly non-stop so I can have some capital with which to make even more money (and buy gear for my main acct). She trudges along doing about 300 runs and mailing my mules all the good stuff while I am at work, this has been every day for the last week or so and I've yet to get the hammer. I'm sure I will eventually, but I have three bots running anyhow (high yield/high risk, med yield/ med risk and med yield/low risk). Diversify, diversify, diversify!!

I also think it's luck, because everyone of my bots always get's banned if i level it fast. Are all your bots level 70?

They are now, but I took a week to get them there, so there is that fact. None of them were leveled over the course of a day or two.

can you prove that? i've been botting on my main for a while , and i haven't gotten any issues, Leveled my karok from 4-70 in four days, took my fiona leveld her from 33-70 in two days, and that was three months ago. So i'm not so sure about their about thier-autobanning issue you speak of, it could still be a rumor or it could be true, since Nexon's not going to admit how they ban people

Not using bots | using bots
here is the line^

pretty sure its the autoban. just dont log out xD

what is the message to indicate you've been banned?

It says something like: u cannot connect right now. Submit a ticket on the website

Before the "ban wave" we were able to lvl 1-70 within a few days without getting banned.
But after a few weeks ago, I think they implemented an auto detection that if u level to quickly, u get auto ban...

That's y some people stil have their lvl 70 (unless they do something fishy and got caught)

sometimes i got that message too, maybe they banned ur IP, to be able playing again just change ur IP, btw i always playing with proxy for safety

Dont think they ban IP, unless u keep getting banned

They banned the account

I think that would be true for any other games, but not vindictus. Just look at the market place on the east, the same guy has been selling thousands, I am not kidding, THOUSANDS! as in 1000+ empowered stones everyday, and I don't see him getting banned!

Oh, and that leveling too fast myth, and that getting banned when you grind hero mode at lvl 50? Busted!

I had one bot, leveled to 39 in 2 days. Stopped for a week. Got to lvl 40, started working on trans, almost got to holy ground at lvl 42 or so, BANNED!!

And the message, your account has been permanently banned! Not IP ban though, can still play other chars.

I actually believe that titles and quests unlocked do play a factor in the autoban system. All my bots which had less then 10 titles and which barely had stories completed (just did decisive battle, white tyrant, tyrant challenge, irukul) got banned.

I made another bot and finished up to episode 2 (hoarfrost hollow) then botted to lv. 70 all in a single day and that bot has yet to be banned. It also has 40 titles.

All my bots run pretty much 24/7 as well.
