So you sat behind the computer for 16 hours every day just watching the bot fly around? I don't believe it.
My farmer account also had this happen, which I don't use more than a couple hours a day. They said something went wrong on their end and restored it instantly.
I bot for like 4 days in a row at times, i get messages from people saying "are you a bot" e.t.c and i never reply and ive not been banned. Traded over 1mill gold on accounts and still no ban.
So...all who have posted were in Uldum for an extended period of time. What did we learn here today children? Don't AFK bot the most populated farming region on WoW for long stretches of time or else you risk getting reported.
Not Uldum Botting here. Was Botting in the highlands I didn't repost with more info due to not giving a shit lol. I get more amusement getting banned than actually playing the game anymore.
