Okay, it should be said it wasn't really a surprise these accounts got banned.
I have others i bot safe with and a main and bank account that never bot.
NEVER GATHER BOT AT THESE AMOUNTS OF TIME, ALL 5 ACCOUNTS STILL MIGHT GET A BAN HAMMER,
I set out to really push the envelop, i just used them for the lvl boost on my bank alt account and after that i set out to see what the limits were. in all i had 5 $20 battlechests accounts involved in the experiment and these two were the only ones banned. and i had second accounts at both the 8-10 hours of botting and 18-20 hour of botting the only difference is ones that survived only farmed new mats. Both banned accounts were farming mop and cata mats, and raf'd to the bank alt account. other than that no difference.
I'd say either Raf tipped them off or farming in older zones where a lvl 90 sticks out more. It should also be noted that this has been an ongoing process for 2 months straight with this time schedule. and all mats were farmed on the same server and put into a single guild bank where they were broken down by the bank alt account and sold. It should also be noted I should have used 2 more accounts or at least 1 more raf'd that wasn't botting cata mats, to make a more definitive decision if raf played a real role or not. The account they were raf'd to is still going strong posting auctions. These auctions are placed by hand and not with PB like I said it stays clean. Well, as clean as a lvl 90 can be living off of levels given to it by a bot.
Accounts used as follows
1. 6-8 hours of botting mop herbs/ore- safe still active still, active still botting
2. 8-10 hours of botting mop herbs/ore- safe still active, still botting
3. 18-20 hours of botting mop herbs/ore- Surprised but still safe and active, still botting
(I should add the 18-20 hour accounts were my expected ban accounts my control if you will)
