Since the encryption change, I'm yet to be botjailed client, or clientless. However, it's obvious that if you mine bot, you have a chance of getting a GM caught on you and TQ has been taking mine botting very seriously lately and you risk a potential ban.
The same thing applies for mass NFarming. If a GM waltz into a spawn, and sees 30 ninjas ripping it a part, it's quite likely all the characters will face a ban, or botjail as well (it really depends on the GM).
My best advice to you, is to bot discretely, or when HelpDesk is offline.
It's a simple matter of the fact at that point in time I did not have the administrative privileges to turn off the bot-server (I do now) and all we could do was make a forum announcement. Sadly, as I'm sure you're well aware many people lack the basic ability to read. This resulted in several people getting botjailed despite our countless warnings on the forum, shoutbox and IRC.

What would be the chances of me getting caught if i level 1 client a day from 1 to 120 just to get bonus xp on my main without my main being logged in. If that one ninja a day would get banned. Would they end up doing a complete ip ban or search to see what accounts were registered or played on that ip and ban individually. Or would it just be the ninja?
I would only bot for a short period at a time. And only times when i know there's no one at the help desk. Or when only very few people are around.
