If I get banned what exactly am I going to lose? A bunch of gear I never, ever would have gotten without botting because this game is not fun to play past, at the very BEST estimate, the first two hundred hours or so?
In short, no, I agree with xxdemonic above, getting banned would almost be a blessing at this point. I've been botting pretty much 24/7 the last two weeks and even THAT is becoming not fun at this point. Sitting down to see that the bot has gotten six legendaries per hour for nine hours straight and NOT A SINGLE LEGENDARY is worth a shit? Yeah, it completely reinforces the botting choice being the only choice (seriously, farm for nine hours, get fifty four legendaries and have ZERO ups and tell me you still want to play this game).
No one really plays this game anymore that ISN'T botting. There's no point. You kill shit over and over so that you can get shit to kill shit over and over a little faster. It's like the ultimate circle jerk. There's zero end game and zero content beyond rifts and bounties at level seventy. Blizzard has no idea how to fix this shit either, hence why they keep making sweeping changes with little or no reasoning, logic or sound foundations behind them.
