After patch, bot goes "afk" mid-botting. Has never done this before. Trap?

[JTPace]

If I leave my bot alone, I will get the "you are now away" message.

This has never happened while the bot was running until today, after the new update was released. Is this something we need to look out for as a potential blizzard trap?

Hmm, looks like i wont be leaving this on until someone confirms

Oh no!

Go into bot settings for DB and turn on "Game always in the foreground"

Maybe turn off Diablo's sound after that.

bots always done this, but i have run in background unchecked so diablo isn't overlapping every screen while iwatch movies/browse forums etc. you can simply set to 'away'.

Anytime the bot stops, has an error, or gets stuck... That is GameWarden checking in on your account, taking notes to prepare to ban your account. Better watch out though, I hear that they are also charging fines using whatever accounts you have connected to battle.net. Better stop botting before you lose an account that you primarily use to... use a bot on... LoL.

Wow, Really? LoL You guys are funny as hell.

Bans will happen. Nothing is completely safe. If you're scared, stop botting. If my accounts get banned, I will just open new ones.

this has been happening to me for ages, not a new thing.
