New dimension of anti-botting?

Hi there,
I used the bot nearly 6 months, then all my bots were banned in one process. I created some new one but they survive for only one day and my main account was banned for 30 days also, so they check the IP and everything around that.
Since that I dont use any bots but it is incredible how difficult it is to get gold for getting pimped ...
A friend was on chicken farm (not botting) and after a few minutes he was whispered by someone, I think they will check if there is a real person who answers or only a bot.
Last time I used the bots is in the beginning of this year, so I dont know what changes in botting. Are there any new ways for botting and solve the problem of banning?
How I said, my last bots survived one day till they get banned, so anything is happend at froggy that they will detect bots in my opinion.
Sorry for my bad english ^^

Hi, i've heard rumours of new Frogsters Anti-Automation system, it supposedly detects bots and whispers them, after unknown conditions players are contacted, some are banned some given chance to delete all imtems and gold :S
It's supposedly efficient, so i tend to be near my keyboard while botting, to answer whispers and stuff.
If you use more than one client you are very suspicious, i'd set up that kind of detection, but IDK if any of this is true, just saw some guys complaining about account suspension on chat.
I'm just a bit cautious (not botting 24/7, use only as a convinience method to not always be pressing keys and clicking mouse) and i fear nothing about that.
I've been whispered once while egg farming but i thought someone was joking and i answered back, didn't get another whisper after my response. :S :/

I'd be surprised if Frogster (or any other MMO editor) cared that much about bots (at least the non-RMT part of botting), except once in a while to make some PR announcement or when they get reported by players (but then some players report anyone they see farming half as much as they are - guess we should thank them for flooding botting reports with innocents)
Even Blizzard with their billions of dollars never cared enough to even think about some decent countermesure, I was pretty much botting 18+ hours per day for a few consecutive months and the only time I got caught was when I ran into a wall for an entire day (sucky code heh?) and probably got chain reported by everyone in the area

In my opinion the pressure was too big to close the eyes at the side of froggy. But in reality the thousands of people cut in her own legs... no bots -> no gold eggs -> no high level pets!
As i started last summer, the pets were crap because no one wants to level them by fusion and gold eggs were to expensive. I lvld my pet over lvl 50 and it is very good, so I get much over 8k lp and nowadays everyone got a pet in higher level...
Normally my bots (~8) run 24/7, a part of the eggs for myself and a part for selling so that I can bought better equip but not equip for endgamecontent so that there is a rest of fun
Today the big players run ini day by day and getting much more rich, the little players have to buy items and stats from then ... like a circle, the big ones get rich and the little ones get no gold more and more...
However, I think that froggy did anything in this case, botting is much more dangerous and inefficent when they check if there is a bot or a human behind the character. Sure, you can make a fix, that autoreply on whsipers, but how long will it work, till they know that ...
I got a 30 days ban and therefore I won't use any bots in future ... perhaps
Don't want to loose my 62/62 char ^^
