So, I've been running the crafting bot a few nights in a row now. When I wake up, I log off for awhile, then log back on and bot again. How safe would you say it is to run a bot for how many hours?

Do they only come check you out if somebody sends in a petition, or do the servers flag if someone has been non-stop crafting for 24+ hours straight? Going from 28 to 40 in 2 nights seems kind of obvious to me, so I'm just curious if the server may pickup on that?

How do you veteran botters do it?

I ran for very long stretches without problem. Once in a while, I had to stop to open all those bags and deal with inventory issues, but that's it.

Typically, players would have to report you before it is investigated.
