Do you have any observations about the event you'd like to share?
I have in the past been a lot more hardcore (many hours of grinding / farming / questing with a bot) as well as botting (unsafely) on multiple accounts (single internet connection), which has caused previous bans, however this account I have taken a lot more precautions, and in fact have not really even played or botted in the past 8 months or more, ie. play and bot for a week then not even log in for a month. Play / bot a day or two here or there. Primarily the majority of my botting consists of farming out my garrisons. I have done a bit of questing (unattended) during the past few weeks, and also did some leather grinding (about 2 hours) one night with an old grindbot profile. While I am a lot more careful I do think the reason for being flagged/watched was primarily due to the mass dump of mats that I have collected over a 6 month span (a reasonable amount considering the timeframe of collecting the mats). And before any of the 'leetist' and trolls come out, let me say this, I botted the way I wanted to bot, I am not one to follow 'all the safety guidelines' to protect my account, so don't bother trash talking or telling me what I *should* have done, because I have been playing this game for years and I know very well what is safe and what is not. If I really cared about my account and worried about getting hit by a ban, I wouldn't bot.

To those who complain about being banned (especially those who call Honorbuddy a *sh*tty* product), suck it up. Regardless of whether or not you think you have the right to bot, you are in fact violating the ToS set out by Blizzard, and if you get caught and banned, that is the risk you chose to take. I personally think Honorbuddy has been a very solid and safe product to use and have used it for many years. Every time I have been slapped with a ban it has always been because of unsafe actions on my part, not in any way fault of Bossland. I applaud Bossland for a great product and the amount of stupidity that they have to put up with in the forums.

Anyhow, happy botting and happy holidays to everyone, I'm going to take my 6 month break and focus on other things. If I get too bored before the 6 months is up, I'll just have to start a new account Peace all

p.s. on a side note (after reading other ban notices), I can't wait to see how much gold they took from my account, this is so exciting!!!!
