Well, thanks to Blizzard suspending me for six months, I have more time to work and focus on a doctoral dissertation, so that goes in the positive column. Someone on the Blizzard forums asked how people can observe their bot accounts 100% of the time...well, for me at least, it's quite possible. When I am writing a dissertation on one screen, referencing Mendeley references on a second, and living vicariously through a bot on the third monitor, it's not too difficult. It would be nice to play WoW more than I do now, but life and responsibilities take precedence. The bit of joy I had through botting was enough of a crutch for me though. So, I suppose it's on to the next game that will take my money and not ban me for enjoying it the way I have time to. In the end, that's the freedom I want, to play the game and enjoy it the way I choose to.
