1)Were you using Honorbuddy, Gatherbuddy or both on the account?

This time though I forgot to turn it out before leaving the house. 7)How many auctions per day did you have?: None the last week, otherwise probably 50+ 8)Did you Use Any Other Bots, Hacks, or Mods? Nope. This account is old enough to have used glider on it though... 9)Was your account involved in gold selling? Nope 10)EU or US realm? EU 11)Is the banned account a Scroll of Resurrection or an actual paid account? Actual paid account. I only got a suspension so I'm not too upset as I knew the risk when I let the bot run almost 24/7 for a couple of days. I left it on by mistake when leaving home, Logmeout was enabled and set to log out in 5 hours (a failsafe I always keep on). When I logged back in as I got home nothing looked suspicious other than the fact that I had only gained a couple of bars experience even though the bot should have been running for 5 hours according to logmeout as the plugin prints last session in Honorbuddy (said logged out after 5 hours). I may have been stuck and/or bugged out somewhere and been reported by players. Anyway, when I logged back in and restarted the bot it took just a minute or two before I got kicked off. Tried to log in and got a message saying my account had been suspended with a final warning. Code: Greetings, This is to inform you that action has been taken against your account.

They didn't even put a character name in there. Anyway, I'm not too upset. Every sane person knows that if they run the levelling profiles they will have to watch their toons in case they get stuck which is what I suspect has happened here. I've run the profiles from 1-82 but alternated with some dungeons and archaeology from time to time. I doubt they can detect the profiles themselves, but I play on a very high pop server with loads of characters in every popular levelling zone, so if something goes wrong people are bound to notice and probably report. I see it all the time in general chat that people are spotting and reporting bots. I would however advise people to excert care and not bot the most popular questing profiles unattended on accounts they care about..
