Just a heads up for you guys who always post along the lines of "Oh, you can't get banned, or it's highly unlikely. It must be some other program you used."
I used Lucky's Space bot for literally only 3-4 hours one day. The next day, same amount of time (I actually play the game manually a lot I don't bot a ton of hours). 1 day later (after not even playing because wasn't home), I get an email about 1 week suspension.
Before anyone says it wasn't the bot, read this:
-I NEVER, ever used any other program like speedhacks, pvp bots, etc.
-I NEVER broke any other game rules that could get me banned.
-I DID NOT bot for a super long time. 3-4 hours, probably even less, and I made sure of it because I was paranoid at the beginning.
-I only botted twice, 2 seperate days, 3-4 hours.
-Before letting the bot run, I watched it go through a few times to make sure it wasn't acting retarded or botty looking incase a GM watched me or something.
Here is the email:

I am not mad, or trying to bash anyone. Lucky has a great bot running there, and in the end, I knew the risks and it is ultimately my fault. I just want to warn people because everyone kept telling me that it's HIGHly unlikely to get banned. Just because other players can't see you, doesn't mean there's no risk.
After reading the email, I wonder if they MAY have banned me for something else by accident? because it says nothing about bots it says "to modify service content to change game play" to me, that doesn't describe botting?
