Considering we'll never be 100% positive that we've defeated their flagging system, we'll never actually make a post saying so. (However, our normal beta testers aren't being flagged with the current beta. There are some reports about ranged characters being flagged, while melee not. But the info we have isn't big enough to make any proper conclusions.) We have a new build out at least once a day, typically, more than once a day. We're constantly working on internal changes. Most of the time, users won't even notice the changes we make, so we don't create a changelog. (Plus, the stuff we do, we don't want publicly known for obvious reasons)
Bot takes portal, farms till entrance (1 entrance zone) refresh. Farm till portal (or second entrance) refresh. It makes for an efficient bot, I don't know why anyone would be against it.
The flag is still only related to behavior, right? I've been botting a lot. Like 5-7 chars to 70+ and my account is still going strong. I just don't leave it running for 10hours straight and change the maps every once in a while.
