Let's take a look at the history presented in this thread. Multiple alternate accounts were created with low level characters positioned on strategic spots using various 'programs' to spot a world boss. Those alternate accounts are DIRECTLY linked to the leadership and members of two named guilds, they even admitted to using them actively. Over the span of time, those alternate accounts got banned, one by one, for botting but NOTHING has happened to MAIN accounts that directly benefited from banned ones and that are DIRECTLY linked to them and are originating/being created by the same players.
Basically, the Staff's response to botting on alternate accounts in order to attain benefits on primary ones (in this case, two alliance guilds who's leadership and members admitted botting on secondary accounts) is that it is acceptable and within the rules, meaning primary accounts will never have to fear any repercussions regardless of them being directly connected to alternate ones/coming from same IP's/are created by same players.
Following this example, I can make a secondary account, and start goldtrafficking/botting/ignoring and breaking the rules in any other way and my primary account will NEVER be in any danger.
Sorry boiz, but I am a tad shocked by the precendent GM's are setting here. This simply goes beyond anything I've imagined..
How do you know those accs were banned for botting? Did a gm tell you or are you just pulling stuff out of your ass that suits you? And where did anyone admited to botting? I looked the screens no one admits to botting, so again back to pulling stuff out of your ass.
