Banned 12-4 for using Scarecrow

[MrNoob]

I finally got AB working and figured out and only ran Scarecrow a few times yesterday on one 16 x 16 farm in Marcala for like 10-15 mins each time. I tried to log on today and was banned. I had only been using AB for a single day. :S I did try to use it on a couple of 8 x 8's in Cindermoore, but the bot kept trying to run past the farm to find a plant spot since the farm wasn't on perfectly even ground.

I was stupid enough to pay for patron yesterday too, but I think I might be able to get them to refund me for that. Only things lost were maybe 100g in seeds. The account only had a level 12 and a level 1.

I ran the Hasla bot on my main account yesterday, but was still able to log in today. I hope I don't log in to find myself banned later down the line. -_-

I really don't think the scarecrow bot is safe.

Have people been using it for a long time without incident? If so, maybe you can help me understand what I did wrong. I just paid for 2 subscriptions of AB and would rather my experience not end this short after starting.

I use scarecrow several times a day to plant/clear single seeds on two 16's and a thatched. I've been doing this for about two weeks and I still haven't been banned. My farms are out in the middle of nowhere in Windscour, I did get banned in the past planting on my land near the center of the housing area - near specialty workbench/AH. I was never reported, but was banned on the big ban wave. I absolutely expect to be banned at some point, but I hope it's only on the patron account that i farm on and not on either of my "mains"

Which server and region EU or US ??

 

[MrNoob]

Blaze, US servers.

James6345, never got the reported. I was monitoring the process the whole time since it was my first time getting ArcheBuddy to work. I must have tripped some detection through hackshield itself.

My theory is it has to do with planting. There are other similar ban threads based on planting. Gathering looks totallly legit and takes time to process. Planting on the other hand is essentially instantaneous and much much faster than if done by human hands. I think it can trigger detectable flags occasionally.

I have since made new accounts and have been using scarecrow the last few days without incident. I use one account for planting, and a new patron account for gathering. As has been previously mentioned on another thread, planting on a slight incline might possibly be one of the triggers as my banned account attempted to plant on an 8 x 8 on a slight hill in Cindermoore.

It has since been almost a month since I started using AB, and aside from the first banning on day 1, no problems so far. I use scarecrow and hasla assist. My theory about that first banning has to do with scarecrow on uneven land. It's the only thing I can think of.
