Yeh this really sux, i don't think ill ever bot on my main again, as for the bots they are always replaceable so i will start farming on them again in a week or so, hopefully a month of bans will be enough for them bastards and they'll stop for a breather.

Although it does seem like this isn't a normal ban wave, its a consistent weekly banning of all found bots, which does lead you to think they have a tool or something that allows them to auto-detect botting behaviors and send out the bans. There is no way this is an army of people working through logs etc, its almost 100% guaranteed this is an automated process it would be too costly and time consuming not to be.

That is 179 accounts per server per month. More than usual, yes, but not that crazy.

and when you think how chinese farmers have 100s of accounts each....

[Kate]

So would you say its safe again to bot dungeons 24/7?

[brocklesnar]

it will never be 100% safe, it is all in the risk you willing to take in the end

Yeh obviously...

My point being do you think this current ban wave is over? or should i just not bother purchasing my usual 8 licenses for the bot is the point i'm getting at. If its likely to go on for some weeks, then i wont bother re-subbing yet

for me doing this just loses me money. in the long run. Wasting subs to game.
