so here we go!
here are some common sense tips to help you minimise your chance of a ban:
1. do not bot 24/7
Correct, but if you have strong macro, you can 24/7
2. try to bot at the same time every day, only for a few hours. if you want to bot 24/7, rotate between bots (e.g 1 for 7am-12pm, 1 for 12pm-5pm, another for 5pm-12am, and another that for 12am-7am)
No, you may as well just bot all your bots. because if you get caught in one of the period, all you accounts are ban. There is a reason why on the warpportal forum they ask people to report the map, date/time, and description of character.
3. find a way to get items/zeny to your main account that is
NOT just dropping items/trading between chars

4. consider adding an auto-response to any PMs you get, maybe "sry i dont english" and then "?" for every msg after that
Yes, you need to have this, not just consider
5. if you have been banned before, keep a record of your logs. make sure you know what time the GM pm'd, tested, or banned you, so you can learn from it.
It's all random, there isnt a specific time of when the GM comes, it like traffic police officer, you just dont know when and where they'll check you
6. avoid maps with many legit players. check the bot report forum section for your server regularly... check which maps are being watched, and avoid them. GMs check these maps randomly.
Yes, You're right
7. consider making your bot teleport if any other players are on screen (this only works for maps with almost no players, but is very successful - players have a hard time reporting you)
Half and Half, sometimes player is still able to catch your name
if you combine these tips with a proxy/vpn (especially #3, #5 and #6) you should have a VERY low chance of being banned
and even if your bots get banned... your storage should be safe!
it all really depends on why you are botting... if you are botting for zeny, you can have many disposable bots... who cares if they get banned?
if you are botting for levels... you should be very careful if you want to play these as legit chars later
if you are botting for cards/gear... it's a mix of the two... but you should accept the fact that sooner or later, your bots will be found
PS: i personally feel that avoidGM is quite useless... unless you have a maya purple card
usually a GM will follow you as invis before trying to do any tests on you... so before they PM you, they already know you are likely to be botting
