    Default Poll: What is the most risky form of botting? (BAN)

    As bans reports seem to be increasing (IMO), and blizz anti-bot policy seems (IMO) to be harder than it used to be, I decided to create this poll, to make some serious statistic for us.

    Should just have the *email* poll questions. The others e.g., grinding, pvp, are just speculation as to why the person was banned and they cannot be sure therefore you're not getting solid/correct statistics, just presumptions.

    Just saying.. ;D lol.

    Kinda misleading poll title
    No-one really 'knows' for sure if it was Instancebuddy or Gatherbuddy or player report that got them banned
    But as far as the most risky goes i personally think BGs is the riskiest.

    I admit.. i've never been banned while botting. I was banned on my original WoW Account back in 2006. I called Blizz up and asked why my account was banned since i had no email yet. They said "we have proof you were using a 3rd party product blah blah blah..." I didn't even know you COULD bot the game. So it got me wondering... and after about a month... well lets say about 50+ accounts (mostly sold off to others afte rleveled) I'm still going strong with no ban.. just 1 suspension LOL and that was on an account I bought from some college kid.... it was removed after abotu 6 days.

    in my experience selling gold will get you the swiftest ban, as blizzard recently stated, other types of activity is logged and monitored, for a more "global" investigation, and when they feel they have gathered enough in comes the banwave.
