GB2: Account closure - recovered

[Jezzebelle]

Banned sunday morning.

1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account? Gatherbuddy
2)If so, when was the last time?: Botted (while monitoring) 9pm - 1am then again 8am - 10am (my usual playing hours)
3)What profile were you using?: TheJadeForest Herb-Mine by Trollasaurasrex
4)What combat class were you using? if None Just put Default then the Classname: Default Druid
5)What plugins are you using?: Druid Gather Helper
6)How many hours per day did you bot for?: 6ish
6.5)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot? 90%
7)How many auctions per day did you have?: 20-30 auctions active per day, nothing unusual
8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? No
9)Was your account involved in gold selling? No
10)EU or US realm? EU
11)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Paid account

This was my 6 year old main account, I have previously been banned several times for other hacks years ago, so this ban resulted in account closure. I appealed and it was unbanned within an hour.
I was sat chatting to guild members roughly half the time the bot was running - I believe the ban was a result of my node/path movements.

Now I know about all the recent bans I will be staying away from GB2 for a while, however I would like some advice/opinions:

1) Would it be safe to use GB in another area (e.g Karasang Wilds / Dread Wastes) while limiting myself to 1-2 hours/day, or is the whole of MoP suicidal right now?
2) Is GrindBuddy safe to use on twin RAF accounts, up to level 70ish?

dude.... srs... you just got banned for gathering, got account back even though you had prior offenses, and you're asking if its safe to bot?

Botting is suicidal period, there is no secret cornucopia of a location that warden doesn't work in. Especially for accounts that grabbed it's attention prior.

you should be making your own profile with zap recorder or hotspot recorder using public profile is dangerous blizzard can read the coordinates to

I've been botting for about 9 months with no problems at all, I have only recently been using my main account due to being unable to pay for additional subscriptions right now. I just don't want to boot up my other botting account and end up in the same situation - lots of people getting bans all over the place.

As far as WoW would be concerned the secondary account is a completely different player (separate account, bot at work not home).
