Account Terminated, just a warning to others.

My account was terminated this morning with no warnings. I have never received a temp ban ever. Just want to let people know so they can protect themselves. It was my alt account, do not bot on your main as a reminder. I botted nearly 24/7 for 2.5 years so it was to be expected at some point.

If you do it 24/7, then yes..it will happen.

Just woke up to this email as well. Gg FFXIV I guess. It was a good run.

Was looking forward to the new relic weapon quests too.

These must have been from Ungarmax or other Exploits, I bot regularly since 2.0 and never have I recieved a warning.

Just because you've never been caught doesn't mean you should test your luck, Act Normal.

No - people do get banned for using this bot. It just depends on how you use it. If you bot shards for an extended period of time and someone reports you then you can expect to be suspended for 24-72 hours. Second time offense is a ban. I myself was suspended because the bot went herpa on a mythrite ore node while I was not there to monitor it (difficult node and the profile/botbase just kept jumping at it for hours). Guessing someone reported me. A friend of mine was banned as his Gold Saucer profile/botbase bugged and had him running back and forth in the gold saucer doing nothing for 8 hours+ and we think he was reported by someone (looked like someone was watching). Plenty of reports of bans of people gathering for excessive amounts of time. Let's not kid ourselves.
