I started botting with Gatherbuddy2 again, i botted 1 day with randomBuddy (plugin that makes random profiles every 20min) and then 1 day with public high node-per-hour profile. I think that public profiles arent safe at all, because i got banned same day i was using public profile instead random. Never been banned for gathering before, it's really risky these days ;(
yeah, I think what gave it away from me when I started using GB2 with public profiles was the fact that I was being followed by about 4-6 people (within visual sight) following the exact same path.
