Greetings,
Gatherbuddy have the option to NOT ninja nods. Some people allow their bots to ninja nods. One of them did, and it resulted in a ticket to a GM.
Here is the story:
Needed a bunch of Elementium. Logged into my farmer. Took portal to Uldum, started HB and chosen Gatherbuddy2, loaded profile. Start the bot. I never allow my bot to ninja nods so I won't gain unnecessary attention.
I noticed that I had high latency. game is lagging bit. No big deal. I tend to monitor my bot for a while before I go afk to make sure it runs smoothly.
Whenever my toon land on a nod. I think due to latency it take a few seconds before he starts mining. in the meantime someone lands, harvest the nod then flies away. I noticed that it mounts and flies like HB does. I think, well that one is gone, big deal.
I then noticed that the other guy is following the exact same path I do. Figured out that he uses the same profile. But I noticed that he didn't have 310% so I was faster and able to reach the nod faster than he does. But due to latency my toon lags a bit when reaching nods. So this guy comes and ninja my nod.
This kept on going for a while. So I decided to stop the bot and start it later. After about 4 hours I log in and start the bot. After a while he is there and is still stealing my nods. I still have latency.
Pissed off I decided to report him. I whispered him several times and threatened him that I will report him as using a bot if he doesn't reply. He didn't reply since he is obviously afk. So I opened a ticket. Reported him. Then logged out.
I will wait a few days before I will use my bot again.
Moral of the story: Make sure your bot will NOT ninja nods. Because there are people like me who are willing to eliminate competition by any means, and will do that with a big smile.
