Here is proof that they don’t investigate! Don’t auto attack and go AFK.

The only proof I see is that:

1. You’ve been a complete kitten to people trying to do their jobs and have had nothing to do with your ban, nor could they reverse it (because of #2)
2. You just admitted to “auto-attacking and going AFK.” No, this is not technically botting, but you earned gold and experience without actually playing the game. That’s like saying it’s okay if you exploited any other oversight in the game and got an unfair advantage. “Mispriced karma items? It’s part of the game, you can’t ban me for keeping them!”
3. The poor CS agents are overwhelmed by people with legitimate issues, compromised accounts, and kittens trying to rationalize why their exploit wasn’t an exploit, and was really just a method of abusing the system for gain without effort.

Word is, next patch they’ll be adding in a free common sense injector, although it appears you’re sadly allergic to it, apparently.

Thank you for admitting this is not botting! That is exactly my point. If they see something they don’t like they need give warnings before they ban/suspend people and they should put it the botting section of the EULA. Yes, there were some people who were banned for afking for 10 minutes and I don’t care if they did it 10 hours, if going AFK with an auto attack enabled is a bannable/suspendable offense it needs to be in the rules! Don’t call it botting and accuse people of running “third party” software.

Konvict.6024:

If you were afk while getting karma, you deserve the ban. Yes that includes the in game auto attack feature that was racking you karma while you slept, went out, attended to clients, took a dinner break, or whatever reason.

That’s fine if that is what you believe, the point was that using auto attack while AFK is not against their rules. They site botting and third party software but don’t take the time to investigate to see if it’s real botting or not. They punished people for not breaking any established rules, just people using auto attack! If they don’t want people to use auto attack while AFK, then make a specific rule against it or get rid of auto attack all together. It seems like they have left many opportunities in the game to ban people without warning which seems very suspicious to me…

On a side note, I hope they are blindly banning gold farmers like the are blindly banning people using auto attack!

Here is proof that they don’t investigate! Don’t auto attack and go AFK.
