But yet again why a vps? A vpn could also do the trick. You should at least recommend both.
As it is smarter to do so, but then again not needed as long as you know what you are doing.

They are tips, not absolute requirements.
In my mind I'd rather use a vps versus a vpn just because I like having a server for my own purposes but I suppose they are rather interchangeable in this case. Seeing as I've had a vps for like a year and a dedicated box the last 4-5 months my mind goes there rather then to a vpn.
Obviously botting smart is your first defense but you can't really claim that logging your main into the game on the same ip that you are botting with is a good idea. Tq will VERY rarely bother with ip bans but they definitely do them. No matter how smart you bot, sooner or later someone is going to report at least one of your botters. Would you really want to risk a character you've been working on for months/years simply based around the fact that the chances of it being punished are low?
<edit>
As for why I prefer the idea of using a vps to host the bot... I do have a few reasons.
#1: Less risk of logging in with wrong ips.
It really only takes one time to risk your character. The logs will always be there for tq if they for some reason decided to start taking botting seriously. Personally I like having the bot program completely separate from my computer (not even installed locally) and it completely solved the risk of "oops, I logged the wrong account" or whatever.
#2: No reason to leave computer on.
I'd rather not be down a night of botting cause of a power outage/windows update/etc as well as the wasted power.
#3: Better botting stability
Not a big issue seeing as you should be being smart and not botting with huge amounts of clients at once but still... just about any vps you would rent will have a faster, more stable internet connection then your home one and will generally have MUCH better ping to the tq servers (you could even shop with your server location in mind). This will let you make the bot settings faster without sacrificing the stability of it whatsoever.
