MFing glitched boss and temp bans...

[coldsong]

Ok, here is the problem:

I have just 1 computer and 1 cd-key. I am trying to MF a glitched boss - in my case NM baal. What i do is:

-create a game with a sorc who is already in hell
-leave, rejoin it with a sorc who hasnt killed NM baal yet
-proceed to kill: andy, countess, trav council, meph, eldritch and shank, baal

-repeat this twice

-on the third I get temp banned...

I wont rant on blizzard's retarded way of "fighting" bots..
Any advice on how to resolve this? Am i too fast? How long should i stay in game? Just any general tips on MFing a glitched boss and avoiding the temp ban would be greatly appreaciated.

Thanks

Are you burning in the games for 5 minutes to get the 2nd sorc in, or just going really fast to beat the 30 second timer?

If you're trying to beat the 30 second timer, you're definitely going way too fast.
If you're burning it in for 5 minutes, that sounds like it should be more than ok. Especially for more than 2 runs, my only suggestion there would be try counting to 10 or so before you log on/off (which obviously doesn't work if you're trying to beat the 30 second mark).

Either way though, I think with just 1 key it'd be more profitable to stick with just baal and ignore all the other junk, and not worry about trying to slow your runs down to get the first drop.

The other thing you could try would be clearing all that junk with first sorc, then bringing the second sorc in for just baal.

ya i agree with mouse...the only issue i know of is the 10 sec rule (was 6 sec back when i played previously, i assuem 10sec just gives a little more leeway).

even if you want to run another boss (meph is always a relatively decent and fast kill compared to the others) it might behoove you to kill ball's minions with first sorc prior to bringing second one in, to give the game 5min+ to seat. i wouldn't try to beat the 30 sec timer either...ur probably running too close to the 10 sec rule that way, and perhaps where the bans are coming from

Does it suck to have to wait 5m for each game? perhaps, but then again were talking about glitching here :) guess there's a price to pay one way or the other. But killing baals minions first would prob be the easiest approach....gotta kill em anyways, might as well kill em with the stronger sorc first :D

you are a bloody genius! man, thanks so much id never think of that... seriously, thanks, this is exactly what i will do, since my older sorc is pretty loaded on mf too, so i wont miss much by doing the minions with her.

/misterburnsstyle eeeexcellent

I'm pretty sure that this is a universal truth.

First drop mfing isn't worth it without multiple cd keys, in my opinion. You can join about 20 games / hour without getting Temp Banned, so burning in a game for 5 minutes, then running Meph on a 2nd character should work (~6 minutes per game or 10 games per hour x2 characters), but you'll get 10 actual Meph kills per hour. Or you could make the game, immediately rejoin with your first dropper and do Meph plus whatever for an extra 6 minutes.

Even without first drop, you'd probably have to find something else to run in addition to Meph to keep yourself from getting temp banned. I've found that doing a Ancient Tunnels run every 10th game seems to do the trick.

well im not into hell yet, and in nm i usually run 6-7 mf targets per game.
in hell ill be clearing ancient tunnels, though, so shouldnt be a problem
