Warning to Profibot and normal bot users

06/26/2012 17:13 DeDox#1
Hello,
I saw that a lot of Kbot/Ibot and OpenStealth users have been banned, profibot is compromised, it is advised that you DO NOT use those bots for now or you MIGHT get banned, a lot of people have been banned already, no intel on Boxybot yet though, I used it a moment a go and no ban but there is no guarantee that it's safe.

This is a warning to all bot users, Close your bots for now, even boxybot, just for safety! (I did too)

Regards,
Dedox

No there is word that profibots such as kbot and openstealth are detectable, I am not sure of this but it is a risk I wouldn't take right now, this is a warning, I am not sure 100% if they are detectable or not.

Yea, but with boxybot u adjust the timings, so if u are caught it's only your fault.;)

We all know the risks of botting when we do it.
If ibot/kbot are unsafe and boxy is "100% safe" please explain how i had an account with boxy banned last week but my ibot/kbot account is still going strong.
No bot is 100% safe, if you bot with any of them u take the risk of being banned.
It also appears that DO are now handing out perm bans to accounts that have never been caught before(and yes it was over a month old lol)

Every bot that isn't a pixelbot is detectable, no matter the limit of boxes you collect...

I can't say that luck doesn't play any role, but mainly you were caught because of your timings or an admin might have seen you (which is rare but can happen).

Boxy was collecting slower than ibot/kbot so thats not the case here.
I suspect that it has more to do with spending money on accounts, after all BP is a business and they would be foolish to ban people that spend money(not saying that they wont, if people take the piss then they would im sure) especially in the current financial climate and taking into account that the servers are very very empty compared to a year ago.
If they banned all the botters they would have no players left lol

I botted 20/7 last 4 weeks, didn't get banned. So seems like bullshit to me.

Some are more unfortunate than others, you need to keep that in mind, if you keep botting and don't buy uri, you will be banned.
