World of Warcraft Honor Bot | Huge ban wave May 20th

So I see there was a huge ban wave for both mmoglider and Innerspace yesterday. Several thousand accounts perished in the blaze. Is it a tradegy? Sure. Unexpected? No.
There's huge risks in botting just as in any form of gambling; you have to be prepared to lose it all.
One of the guys I work with lost his main account with 3 level 70 characters on it. Granted, I told him it was a bonehead move to use your main account to bot, but some people just don't want to pay the extra $15 per month for a second account.
After reading the mmoglider forums I see Merc is hard at work on a fix and suspects the bot to be back up and running on the 22nd. He'll fix it because he is very good at what he does. But it's an ongoing battle between Merc and Blizzard, and in the long run the rebels rarely beat the Empire(TM), but best of luck to him in the long run as he has made one hell of a program.
Keep on botting, the rewards well outweigh the risks if you play smart.

World of Warcraft Gold Farming | Not As Bad As You Think

Gold farming and gold farmers really seems to be the bane of mmorpg's. I know that in Everquest gold farmers (but much of it was gold dupers) really brought the Everquest economy to its knees. Mudflation is so rampant on all EQ servers that it's to the point where you almost have to buy platinum in order to get anywhere.
One of the main complaints in World of Warcraft is that of cheap gold being sold by various (mostly Chinese) farmers on various websites. As with World of Warcraft Honor Bottingthe gold farmers face a similar backlash from normal players in that they are cheating and ruining the game economy. My argument is that this is not completely true.

world of warcraft cheap gold is not a serious issue

The reason that gold farming and selling is not a serious threat to the World of Warcraft economy is that after a certain point, gold isn't worth hardly anything to the average player. Take a look on Wowhead for any epic item that is ranked higher than 60 and you will see that they are either bind-on-pickup or in some way or the other not sell-able. Blizzard did this on purpose to keep World of Warcraft from plunging into a mudflation supermarket of buy-able gear on the auction house.
What if most items could be re-sold?
There's an Everquest server name Firiona Vie that has a special rule-set when it comes to equipment; almost of all of, regardless of where it's from or where it dropped, can be bought and resold to various characters on the server. This is great if you want to twink out a low level character (the stats do adjust accordingly per level) but it makes worthwhile items extremely expensive.
Imagine, for example, if you could buy a complete Tier 6 armor set on the auction house. The armor would be worth a small fortune since the vast majority of the server population would never be able to go in and get it themselves. Care to take a guess how much a 5-piece Tier 6 set would cost you? 3000 gold? 5000 gold? Who knows, but since you had to scrape to get your epic flying mount I'm willing to bet you would consider buying gold to get that armor. Check Wowhead to see if there's anything close to a full set of epic armor available on the auction house for a level 70. You wont find much, because most level 70 gear is not sellable.
If you look at the pricing history of epic weapons on the auction house you will see that the items are actually cheaper as the levels goes up considering how much more gold you earn once you enter the expansion.This is pretty important considering the game is it's 4th year. In conclusion, this really only allows gold farmers to have a market up until you get your epic mount, after that, the uses for cheap gold really is minimal.

World of Warcraft Accounts

I've only been botting in World of Warcraft for a couple years, but, I used to play manually and sell accounts on the side. It was not super easy, but it was the only thing I had to do since I was unemployed, in school full time, and didn't feel like doing much else at the time. In total, I've had 12 World of Warcraft accounts that I have created and sold.
So how easy it is to sell accounts? Blizzard makes it pretty easy. The basic formula for selling accounts, once you had a buyer, goes as follows:

• get the money from the buyer first and there home address via PayPal. Get the payment from a verified PayPal account and send the buyer an email to the address of there PayPal account stating that what they are buying and how much. Make them respond to your email from that email address. This is important if the buyer tries to do a PayPal purchase reversal on you. If they do, you can forward a copy of the email to PayPal for proof of purchase since it will be difficult to prove the purchase was fraud if you have an email 'receipt' from the PayPal email address
• once payment is received, email the user name, password, and Secret Question/Answer (if you have it). The buyer will then have to log into the account and submit a request to change the email address. The seller will receive the email confirming the change of email address, simply forward it to the buyer, or confirm it yourself if they haven't changed the password yet
• once the address and password have been changed and you have the money, ship them something. I like to ship them one of the Warcraft installation CD's, but it doesn't matter. Ship them a receipt if you have to. This will also help with any PayPal reversals since you will have proof of shipping that you can submit to PayPal if you run into trouble. Remember to always cover your butt.

I forgot to mention; CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. This will remove your credit card information from the account and assure you your credit card will no longer be charged.

That's about all there is to selling your World of Warcraft account. Buying isn't much different, except you need to do the following;

• after you purchase an account and have access to the character, your best bet would be to spend the money and buy a new account. Create the account using the name of the person of the account you bought (i.e Bob Jackson) and use your personal information for the rest of the required fields.
• once you've created this new account, transfer the character you bought to the new account you just created (assuming the transfer is up).
  

This whole process will cost you an extra $50 or $60 depending on how much you buy a new blank account for. Why should you do this? In case the original owner pulls the account back (and it happens a lot) the character will be on your own account with your own login information. At that point, the only recourse the original owner would have would be to call Blizzard, but the only thing Blizzard would do is lock both accounts and require a fax proving who owns each account, and since you have all the login information for your new account you would simply have it reinstated.
