For those who had been caught. Tell us your stories

I was botting with dummy accounts just to see how it goes. 2 of my accounts caught around geffen, without any notice and chat. No GMs were around. just, jail. From the player-log two players were around in both of my accounts.

760633 Ilaya Mage 43 Boy
759307 tiger5de Rogue 97 Boy

So, be aware of them they seem harmless but it's the only clue I have.

No need for names, those could be normal players that saw your bot's distinct behaviour and then reported it to a GM,
I got caught in Bib; got warped off to jail where a fabre was spawned which my poorly configured bot devoured instantly.

I must say if GM interrogate you by teleporting you to the same map and ask you questions then no way macro can be smart enough to get away of that.

I have been ban a few times because of gm pm and macro reply. But I also have got away with macro reply to normal players who think that I am suspicious by replying them randomly and do random walk and pause for around 5-10mins in town. I also have a macro that create chat room like "wait for my bro" if moved to jail and alert me by Sound so I can manually handle the situation.

they can track the item if you trade them?? How about dropping it and loot it with your other character?

[doughnuts]

I don't think they can track the items. Sure they can but it is costly to do so. Trade-logs would be somewhat efficient but loots would be a big fat database. So if you transfer items between characters make sure you login with different IPs and drop the items rather than trading them.
