Normally I am pretty discreet about botting but I transferred to a new server and was low on gold so I was at it pretty hard, an officer got suspicious and asked me about it so I came clean. Their only concern was if I was going to crash the market, I explained that I only bot enough on the server I play on to cover raid expenses, my main botting is done on a high pop server elsewhere to cover the cost of my wow subscriptions.
Then we struck a deal, since he had all the crafting professions maxxed, after he and I took care of crafting everything needed for our core raid group each week that if I supplied him with the mats he would craft everything, auction them, and we'd split the profits.
He got curious about how I pay for wow with gold, I referred him to Pr3cious on Ownedcore but they said there wasn't a market for gold on the hordeside of our server. So we struck another deal, I'd farm enough gold off server to cover some gametime for him and he'd pay me on the one we play on. So sometimes it's beneficial to come clean, you may find some people really don't give a shit and now my entire raid core knows I bot.
