And it'd be worse as I'd become more careless and do even more botting! such as 2accounts or something haha.

But in traditional sense what I saw on XI was a lot of people would do some hack to test/try it out then go back to legit in gear, then 8 months later get a ban haha. SE is consistent!

I've not bothered following this thread. Just ended up like the other 30 threads on this topic.
mass ban would make people think "i could be next so i better stop botting"
and stop future botters from taking the risk of downloading a bot.
