if ya downloaded and used a publicly available bot, you probably got caught within the 1st day (or few minutes) of using it. (what else would you EXPECT?) If commands occur repeatedly with identical time intervals, a script would catch that very easily. If a bot doesn't talk to the server in the same way the client does, its very easily proven a bot. 24 hours or more of activity without a certain number of hours break is *NOT* proof of botting, I pulled 50+ hours straight when I started, humans may as a whole sleep some portion of the day but not all of us and not every night.
So how 'bout just don't use a bot? If you need to play 24/7, go snort some coke. . .
Botters still give me an "eh, whatever" feeling compared to the cheating of the multi-accounters and account sharers. Humans can keep competitive with the bots, especially if they're unemployed or have access to PC most of the day, they'll even do better because a human head makes better decisions than a bot. Multi-accounters achieve 10 cities in a few days where honest players have to pay $$ to get there in this century. A bot may get logged off and not make it back on, an account sharing team on opposite sides of an ocean are much more undefeatable than an auto-comforting bot. I'm not trying to lessen the hatred for botters but wonder where's the ferver against the more easily utilized, and more powerful cheats?
