One of them was stuck at the loot screen (I could tell because he was just kneeling down towards a stone the whole time) probably because his bags were full and the program wasn't set for such situation. **/facepalm at this point...
and obviously he wasn't thinking much...
It gets worse...
Now...
The 2nd person was just standing by his side trying to mine, but sadly his bot program got stuck too because the first guy was blocking him from mining.
**Double /facepalm at this point...
As a gatherer myself, it was a shame to see such sight, so I decided to report these two players immediately opening a ticket. I may be a hypocrite, but I really did not want these programs to be closed down because of poor usage by shit players who don't think before botting. I also wanted to find out how the GMs would handle this situation.
I finally got a letter back...
It said "You might still see this fellow around for a while and the reason being is sometimes we use botters who are reported to trace patterns and then action large groups at one time. But we document and save each report so keep up the good work! Also, keep in mind that this account might be compromised and not under the use of the owner. ^.^"
This just happened yesterday, so there may be another ban wave coming up any time soon.
IF YOURE GOING TO BOT, BOT WISELY. PLEASE!
NO Botting program is SAFE. It all depends on how you use it.
EDIT: the quote was copy and pasted, so that is exactly what it said.
