Banned for Botting, again?
Why on earth would you get banned for extended unattended play…whatever that means…

I think that means that you try to avoid the build in timer in GW2. If you are inactive for an hour you will kicked out of the game. Some people don’t like that
Don’t stay around 1 place for too long killing monsters and playing events. This is what bots do, and it can get you banned along with them. I don’t know why real players are getting caught up with bot ban sweeps. I heard that a real person checks before banning, so what went wrong?

“Extended unattended play” means using a bot, that is, having the bot program “play” the game while you’re sleeping, at school or work, away from the computer, etc.
There is some pretty sophisticated tracking programming to detect this, and two false positives is very unusual, but rest assured that Support Team will research this one thoroughly and make the proper decision about how to deal with the flags that this account is raising.
By the way, it doesn’t take a lot of “tech savvy” to run a bot. It only takes the will to make undeserved gains and the willingness to breach the User Agreement, to cheat. I am not at all saying your cousin did that, but while creating a bot may take technological knowledge, and programming anti-bot software takes a great deal of sophisticated knowledge, running a bot generally takes neither.
