Ubor, that's why it is always recommended that you don't take part in suspicious trades. Sending 100k NP over to another account by offering on a junk item or by buying junk items from a shop is always going to look suspicious if you end up drawing attention to your account and will end up in both being frozen. I don't trade like that - I just play games on my ABing account til I have about 25k, then start ABing in the cheaper shops, sellingmy items as I go. It's more time consuming, but much safer. I have only ever had one side account frozen. None of my others have been touched so I can safely say that spending a little extra time doing things the longer way really does pay off
I totally agree with xxx___. You have to have patience and look as realistic as possible. You were probably lucky your 3rd account wasn't iced... but nobody said that TNT was perfect. TNT knows most people that ab are impatient... and they use that knowledge to their advantage, ie abing for long periods. The rule is... don't get greedy and cover your tracks. Change your IP frequently and make note of them so that if you do ab on one account and then switch to another, you'll know they are tied together by your IP address. Look as human as possible.
All excellent ideas. xxx___ with your strategy, do you not have a main account then, as all your accounts cannot be linked together by trades? As per the IP changing, I have tried searching for some proxies to use (my own IP is static), but seem to have run into a wall. Most of the proxies I find on the internet are either not anonymous, or if they are, they run at incredibly slow speeds such that autobuying is not possible. Also, is it recommended to run an autobuyer using a proxy? I read on one of your other posts that if another person uses the same proxy, you would be automatically logged out which would raise suspicions.
I've thought long and hard about this question: Would I use an aber if I had a static IP address and could only use proxies?? Since the new changes with neopets the answer would be a resounding no... You'd just wind up putting a lot of effort into an account and the first mistake you make... it will all be for nothing. I don't envy your position, and I'd considering changing my ISP.
Contact your isp to change your ip and see if they agree. You need to be patient only only ab for an hour each day and take breaks after each restock. When you use your aber check on it every so often and see what has it got you and if it is a good amount then stop
There have been many people being frozen, TNT is getting more strict, well that's what ive noticed... :?:
They are constantly implementing new ways of catching cheaters, but like Marlene said, they are not perfect. The key to not getting caught is to 1) not be greedy, 2) act human, and 3) make sure your accounts are not linked in any way.
well, i created a new account, activated it, logged in, and it said i was iced for abing. what on earth is wrong with tnt??? those damn botts are going nuts
after u get frozen wait a few days before u ab again, maybe play a few games so it looks like u aren't gonna cheat after losing ur acnt
I do have a main account and I AB on there too . Not too much though of course. I build up all of my sides so that if I ever lose my main, I can just switch to another one. I have no rubbishy looking accounts - I always spend time and NP on them. I mean, what else can you do with NP if you don't use it? There's no point in just storing it up . I also wouldn't be upset if I lost an account because I know I could earn back whatever I lost pretty easily. I'm also not a big time RSer which I think helps keep me safe. I don't go for huge, expensive items, just plenty of smaller ones. I'm also lucky that I can reset my IP whenever I like by unplugging my wireless hub
That sucks, I hope my older accounts don't get chain Iced, but there's a very good possibility that they will...
Ouch.. You're not quitting though, right? The good thing about a freeze is having nothing left to lose. Out of interest, how much do you think you lost?
today I got frozen. I think it was because I left the igloo aber on from 6 am, when I got up, until now. I tried to get on to see if I was frozen, but here was my reason WTF?
!!! wOW they really are becomming desperate to freeze people if thats the reason they gave you when you were running an ABer lol Im STILL frozen TNT refuses to e-mail me back. I keep e-mailing them. And they send me some automated response.. and then I reply.. and then NOTHING!!! WTF!! Why won't they answer me. I want a real person answer. Not a machine
so far so good...i really dont think they freeze for igloo abing since theres no haggling...its just simple refreshing and clicking...right...?
