According to that test
"There is something about this fact. Accounts that have reached a certain level, prior to some PoE bot detection change, are not being flagged. Arden, please could you help test, buy starting a new account, strongly suggest different IP so your main bot accounts don't get checked, and bot from level 1 to.. typically by level 20 or just after act 1 normal, the currency drop flag is triggered."
I botted a character prior to the steam release (2-3weeks prior) from 20-54, no issues.
However since this "test" you mention was after you made your post, and i quote,
The currency flag is the first step.
In a few hours to a few days you WILL get banned.
If your character is on Merciless and you invested into gear - you WILL lose that currency.
Just like how you note APM is 300, 400, 500, 600, your story changes, please create one and stick with it please.
Hi wild19,
Did you recently bot that level 80 account from 1 to 80? Recently being the past 2 weeks?
Because my early few EB botted accounts are fine, one has finished Normal and the other Cruel, they are my support accounts for the future accounts. Problem is about 2 weeks ago when I started the Merciless account, it got currency drop flagged at about 16 before end of act 1. Then the next account the same. then the next account the same. (for the last account I decided that it was likely me being the problem so I went VM, for the next new account, MAC change, different IP, fresh PoE install etc etc).
So, if you could help, by starting a new account and using EB to get it up to, say, end of act 2 normal? If you get the same treatment I am getting then there will be no more currency dropping after ~5 hours.

This character i botted from 28-80ish so far, i have farmed whichever spot was the highest available for me at the time, and this includes ledge, city of sarn, docks, and a few others i cannot remember off the top of my head. (also all 3 difficulties which should be obvious).
This characters creation time is 1week a few days as of this post, i have 5 almost 6 days played/online just on this character.
As i stated to tweety i also botted prior on another character with no issues, if it matters this account is from closed beta(which is my best guess, but i should be banned regardless if the bot is detectable.)
As for making a new account I'm going to have to pass. I still doubt the bot is detected, just very bad luck (pretty much just like how the diablo3 bot was! i was banned once but my second run has yet to this day been banned after having ran 24/7 for 4months straight.)
