Firstly i would like to point out that I have never been or ever will be a hardcore botter. I did use a second account to bot with as I would not want to risk losing my main but all i used it for was topping up my profession mats for crafting and occasionally to make stuff to sell if i needed gold for a specific item. I have never had more than 100k gold (and thats across 11 lvl 90 toons!)
I simply have the attention span of a gnat when it comes to farming ore/herbs and preferred to automate it whilst i play my main account.
1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account?
Gatherbuddy
2)Which version (and Beta or Release)?:
Latest release
3)How many hours per day did you bot for?:
maybe once or twice per month for around 15 hours spread over a few days
4)What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot?
99-100% until the day i was banned
9)How many auctions per day did you have?:
rarely auctioned usually no more than 5-10 stacks max
10)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods?
Nope
11)Was your account involved in gold selling?
No I barely made enough for myself lol
12)EU or US realm?
EU
13)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account?
paid
14)Background information.
Having been quite successful with the bot for a while and completely avoided the boring ore grind i became complacent and left my bot unattended whilst i ran an errand. I was spotted by a player and reported (possibly by several others.) when i returned i found my account banned I immediately opened a ticket apologizing for breaking the rules and the ban was reduced to a 72 hour suspension but i think that will be the end of my botting as i would prefer not to lose the account altogether.
