First I got finally caught ^^ a few days ago but I must say the punishment isn't heavy a 14 day trail and I don't think I have anything to regret for that the game itself is too crazy with the amount of time and money you would need to spend otherwise.
The way they caught me was too crazy also I don't know what happened I only made a request to the support for a completely other risen and got the ban as answer. Like:Q:Can you give me a banana? A:You got banned!
I did know that they are sweeping the server clean from bots, the other botter that was at KS for a year also vanished, no more bots in the coast of opportunity, and the most hatted leader of the supreme guild of our server was caught twice for botting.
I made a rough calculation at max on the official server are average 500 active players they have 28 server and the last time I saw the amount of downloads of the bot was about 8.000, they not all for the official server and some are only backup copys, so say 4.000
4000/14000 = 28,...% thats relative a huge amount of the players, no wonder I had the feeling the amount of players did drop again.
Anyway their are enough games out their like : NW, PoE, GW2 or LOL that haven't any such issues on the other hand it was rather like a science project then playing a game, the future will tell.
