Before hacks/buying from 3rd party...

Be sure to read this:

Just so you don't get a perm. ban.

An alt account I had was flagged and after purchasing 3rd party items, It was promptly suspended. This never happened up until the wintersday jumping puzzle ban hammer.

In a nutshell, your account will be "marked" and any weird fuckeries you do will be easliy decernable and not brushed off as "an accident".

They be watchin you. So be careful.

Accepting what you do my friend. When you use hack, you get heart attack everyday. Its all about time tomorrow, next week or next month. Also hack is cheap actually, brain storm doesnt cost anything.

I figure if you're going to hack/bot you are always putting yourself at a high risk unless you keep your main account and the dodgy ones completely seperate from each other, IE not using them on the same IP, bot at a friends house or something.

basically if you are going to hack or bot then accept that you might get banned or gtfo
