I know I should be banned for botting but I'm wondering why it banned me for hacking. I didn't do the dupe because I didn't find out about it until it was patched. This was an account I made to farm I'm not bothered with the loss of the account but I'm really curious why I wasn't banned for botting.

20 hours of the same pattern more than likely. I had the same exact thing happen to me last week on my farm account. I appealed it and they kept it perm banned. I will try again in another week as to get a different person. 20 hours is entirely too long to farm. You should be doing at the most 8-10 hour spurts and randomize it. The more people seeing you do the same thing over and over again, the likelihood they will report you.

BTW, if you do appeal it, expect the canned response of,"We have more than enough evidence to not overturn our decision."

Yea I know I deserved it lol, it was a long expected ban but I was really surprised it was banned for hacks of all things. I'm probably going to lay low for a while and stop botting made a good 400k so I'm not really bothered with making more. I sent in a ticket and I'll post how well it goes. Off the account alone I made a good 150k so it covers my losses for the account upgrade.

I also wanted to add this isn't a SOR account before anyone asks this account was upgraded by myself through paypal during the sale. I was wondering would you guys recommend buying a SOR account if I'm just going to use it for botting?

Hacks is a gerneralized term they do not say bots as they are classified as a hack.
