problem is aswell some people question there bans then u find out there 24/7 and they wonder y lol play it safe and dont be dicks on botting spread the time there on and off
It all depends what you do. I have literally seen this one guy bot two of his accounts in a certain farm spot since early Wod, I have seen him there every single day. I think it's safe to say he has been running 24/7 since November. He and I are still running strong. So who knows. I think it's reports more than anything
I have been 24/7 since Cata only 2 bans took over a month to over turn... bot like a pirate be respected like a pirate. I usually roll 3-5 accounts 24/7. Dont be where other players can see you. I have also 100% controlled one servers faction on gold sales, 100% control over gem markets for all of Cata... this fucked me in Mist when it was my prices but not supply, but after a few months back I was about 70% Horde Ore, Herbs, Cloth and about 25% of gems... I killed the gem market over saturated it because I couldnt make gold off these people taking my turf, so I just made it unlivable for gold, my 25% was bellow or at vendor price.

the reason why there are way more bans in EU than in US is that there are way more people complaining about bots in EU. that's it. no magic or top secret reason. the majority of blizz bans are because of people reporting/crying.
