but lately a lot of people are complaining having been banned for lifetime.

Where do you get that information ? what is "a lot" in numbers ? As far as i can see there is the occasional ban for hardcore rmt farmers, doing nothing but gathering all day. I've yet to read a report from somebody who's using the bot to level through fate grinding. I've done it all alot , including heavy exploit abusing, so far i've not received even a warning.
