    I run my ABer about 3 hrs a day at the very most, usually just 1-2 hours

    I was wondering what everyone else does and how their accounts are holding up

    Usually for 3-4 hours. I did this for 3 years on my old account and never got frozen, until I cheated on a flash game >_>

    Abbing for x amount of time does`nt get you frozen.

    Ive abbed for 30mins twice and been frozen with out buying anythings,

    Whne your abbing there are many thing the TNT can do to track your abber.

    They could:

    >Look at your Buy Speeds.
    >Look at the headers your abber is using.
    >Check on your refresh rate (refreshing between (EG)6-7 seconds for 30 mins is inhuman)
    >CHeck your refresh java setting
    >Check how long you`ve been abbing.
    >check your login/logout reoutine ( a human wouldnt log out of there account login back in ( abber logs in) then log out again (when you go to get your items) ect

    There are far more than this.

    o__O. ABing for longer periods is generally more dangerous that for shorter periods, in main shops anyway.

    The longer your AB, the more items you could possibly AB, which gets you some unwanted attention.
    But there are times like you said where you just get caught.

    As for the question...humm, before it was like 5 hours a day, I'm generally not very carefull with these things but then again, I've only every been caught main shop ABing once.

    A case of you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone in my case xD.

    Haha tell me about it. When I got caught cheating, I was like "Dang, my account was worth 20 mil... :(" Then I realized that I was stupid for cheating on a FLASH GAME. >_>

    One thing that seems to have helped me so far is unpredictability. Like the last couple of weeks I'd AB for between 1-2 hours, on random days of the week, in different shops. Before that, however, I sporadically would AB maybe once a week for less than an hour, again in different shops, and sometimes even less frequently than once per week. It's my thinking that if you have a predictable pattern, like you AB for exactly two hours a day, in the same shops, at the same time of day, you might draw unwanted attention to yourself. I'm at about 8 months now, on this strategy, but don't quote me on this. Things may change.
