If you buy kbot and you follow the tips & tricks and follow what it says, you should be okay. We don't use the bot in the galaxy gates because of the lag in the game w/ all the changes. As for botting 'round the clock, that is just asking for trouble. We've used kbot on 4 accounts and updated version number when available and they ran right thru the ban wave. But, we've never run them around the clock and that is per the tips and tricks. After all, it is a game meant to be played and the bot is simply to supplement what you are already earning in real game play.
