So I use AU on my main account only (5 years old)... actually, I don't even have side accounts. I'm pretty discreet, no longer than 2 hours a day, only one shop and igloo, and relatively slow refreshes, etc. I've been doing this for about 4 or 5 days and things are good. I'm hoping the age of my account, the fact that I don't get anything that resales for much, and the fact that I only have a little over 800k will keep them off my back. Anyway, so my question is this: If I ab only the Meridell shop for only a Draik Egg, and keep it for myself (if I even manage to get one), do you think this will alert TNT? I really really want one! I know, I know... get in line. Any insight would be great. Thanks!
I think just because of the value of the Draik Egg it would. Most people say Magic ABing is dangerous and that is a lot more valuable than a lot of the MP's. With a 5 year old account I wouldn't do it. You should probably buy a shell and do it like that.
yeah don't risk it. Even without trying to sell, the reason a lot of people get caught is because they probably have some sort of track for people who ABs high profit things. Even if you are to use another acct to do so, you should separate the IPs from your main account and what not. It's awfully dangerous.
as long as your buy time is more than 1-2 seconds you should be ok. especially if you're account looks really legit
I would AB using AU, even Igloo, using a shell account. I've personally been frozen Iglooing so be careful if you value your 5 year account.
Thanks for the replies. I think I'll just take a day to rs the draik egg legitly. I definitely don't want to chance it. I do value my account, however if they end up icing it then I figure I can just "go nuts" with my aber.
Eh, maybe cheating isn't for you then. If you cheat, there's almost a 100% chance you will be iced at least once EVENTUALLY. When I started cheating, I was pretty safe and lasted for a couple weeks, but then got all my accounts iced. After that first ice, your IP is marked and ANY suspicious activity will result in another ice. :| Just giving you a heads up. If you value your account, cheat on a different account and preferably a different IP.
My problem is that I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get a different IP. Networking has always been my weak link. I don't know what proxies to get. I really don't want to spend more money on neopets to get a decent proxy. I have read the guides on here, but the difficult part is finding the proxy server, which I have actually tried to do. I even downloaded a cracked version, but it was outdated and the stupid program made me update, which of course was no longer "legit." The changing of the IP is what is really holding me back. I do think you're right, though, about eventually getting iced. So I guess for now I'll just do my best researching proxies and such and then start ABing with my shell accounts. I just feel so lost... and lame (because I'm lost.)
Ok, finding a good working proxy is very hard. I suggest simply resetting your IP whenever you need to. This can be done by turning off your router for an extended period of time (this can range from a few minutes to a few hours). If you have a modem, unplug that for a while.
Okay Zer0, I'll try doing that. Thanks! April, I'll try doing this along with Zer0's suggestion. Thanks everyone so much! Hopefully I'll be able to get this show on the road. I get tired of waiting in relative stupidity.
