    Lets make a list for the freezeing risk is for autobuying in every shop!
    Every shop must be rated out of 10. 10 being almost guarentee freeze and 1 being almost 0% chance of being frozen.

    START!

    Risk is more dependant on settings than shop ID.

    Sorry to burst your bubble..

    But Ste is absurdly right (ugh). I AB in magic and haven't been frozen in maybe a year or two because I'm careful with my settings and how my accounts look. And it's generally considered the highest-freeze shop.

    There is really no single "ideal" setting. The longer your wait times and buy times, the less risk. The more human your ABing hours, the less risk. But of course, you also have to weigh that against how many items you will miss.

    Just incase you STILL didn't pick up on the hidden messages SoC.. I know.. the idea was that YOU found them. And I've only done it twice ;)

    Out of curiosity, that smiley has "RRF" on it.. What does that actually mean?

    I only AB on one account, mostly. Settings...don't ab for more than 3 hours at a time, use advanced refreshing, play actively on your account.

    I think it's worth it to have more "human" settings (lower rf times, fewer hours ABing, no giant profit items) because even though you don't make NPs as quickly, it's better to have some NPs than none at all cause you got frozen. :/

    I think I have to agree with everyone it seems mainly what looks "human" to them.
    I ab'd in pharm, bakery, chocolate every single day for 2 hrs a day with no min buy time for 7 months and never got frozen.

    I started abing in stamp and my buys were in the range of .8-.9 which just isn't realistic and in a higher risk shop it made me stick out, so I got frozen.

    May I ask how fast your computer/internet connection is? I currently AB with a minimum buy time, and am afraid to take it out. I still make a profit, but I'm not really satisfied with it. I AB at one of the safe places you mentioned.
