Just thought it would be a good idea to have a discussion on this, obviously no one wants to get banned.

Some general things I do:
Don't bot for extended periods 4h is my max
Don't run it constantly i.e. no breaks between games - i pause it when i can
Play myself once in a while and sometimes take over for bot
Not going for multiple golden portraits all at once
Playing different decks (not spamming a gold farm deck have it on random deck or switch between a few different decks periodically)

@haueses123 Wow, maybe then the extra safety isn't needed, do you know how often blizzards does ban waves? Have then done one since you started?

We'll likely all get banned in a ban wave, not much we can do.

My tips:

Don't bot on an account you want to keep.

If you want to bot, make a 2nd account and bot on that one.

They will look for an identical behavioral pattern, like within half a second or so for a larger group of people. All bots do something exactly the same and that is what they will look up and use. That, and reports from other players who have it even easier to spot un-human behavior in real-time, while playing.

It is however easier said than done to find a common denominator for all bots, as things vary atleast abit, depending on computer and net connection.

The one thing we can do something about is to try to minimize the reporting from other players. I think trying to make the bot look human with pauses here and there, perhaps hover a card above the table and then change its mind, stuff like that might tip the scales atleast a bit towards our side as if the player base gets pissed, investigations will swiftly take place.

Don't bot at the start of the season, it's hard and you will get reported.

I left the bot running tonight and ended up with 4 friend requests.

ALso, avoid zoo decks, the bot can't handle them and will rope when the board has 5+ minions, that's one of the things that gives the bot away.
