They seem to be going at more casual botters now instead of obvious RMT. Before the suspension, I was farming mobs at natalan sb'ing some gear. I was there for roughly 7 hours, from 4pm CST - 11pm CST. Monitored the entire time. I'm sure this was due to player report.. But this goes to show how serious they take player reports I guess, as I have botted for many many more hours at a time in the past, and even my main account that I bot on just as much is untouched.. so yeah, someone reported it lol. Also, No idea if a GM tried messaging me or not.

Where's you buy your account codes from? There's about 4-5 people on Reddit who have been banned for "no reason", but all have one thing in common: bought a cheap version of the game on sites like G2A, Instant Gaming, etc. Theirs were also 72 hr bans so at least you still got the account.
That seems odd. I had an account running g2a purchased key codes banned completely with no warning. When i called customer service about it they said the keys were bought with an fraudulent purchase(my vendor's end, not mine). They were sorry, yada yada, but no way in hell was I getting the account back. Permaban. No fix for it.
