1/2 Banned, but for hacks?

[alexko9]

Came back homer just now, got banned on my farming account for hacks. Lately I've only been questbotting except for a night ago i needed gold so farmed for about 8 hours straight.

Is botting considered hacks, cause i thought it was a third party or something. Also, if i argue that i didnt hack, could they possibly ban it for botting?
