I just got banned on 1 account. I was running 2 on the same pc. 1 miner and 1 botanist. just the botanist got banned .
I created the accounts on 01.11.2013 . I reached lvl 35 and I was using my crystal farming profile. I had about 600k gil on it.
The weird thing is that they banned a fresh account, and my old accounts are fine(1-2 months old), and I had them running 24/7 ... most likely I got reported a lot. not even the dumb teleporting bots (that are visible while gathering) are banned this fast...
btw is this ban or suspend? When I try to log in I get the message " you don't have a game registered " so I think its a ban. even tho I saw posts about teleporting bots being suspended for 3 days instead of instant banned.
Anyone else got hit?
When were your accounts banned? 11.06.2013
How many accounts did you lose? 1
If multiple accounts were banned, how closely together (temporally)?
Were you online/in-game when you received your ban(s)? I guess so, I was afk, my other account was still running
Were any of them restored after an appeal? haven't tried it yet
How many hours per day did you bot each account? 24 /7 unless I get disc
How many of those hours were you afk? I'm checking now and then in order to sell and see if they got disc... stupid vpn
What level were the main bot characters on your account(s)? 17 archer 35 botany
Did you group-bot regularly? Were all bots in group banned?
How old were the accounts? 1 week old . I'm sorry for doing those quests :((

What maps did you bot primarily? I was farming earth shards and crystal at Fallgrout Float.
How many maps did you bot regularly and how often did you switch between them? once per day
Meshes: Large or Small, Public or Private? quite large for just 1 spot. I had 5 tree nodes.
