OFC the bot itself will basically just run paths and then kill mobs along the way - it's a pixel bot, so doesn't require reverse engineering of the client to work, which is why it always gets up and running first. On the other hand, can't be run in multiple windows, and while it's not detectable in the normal sense, pixel bots are easier to detect as being bots by humans watching them, because of them running the same paths over and over (which is why mmo minion will be superior).
I know Jack doesn't have an affiliate program, so there is no reason anyone would spam it, other then some excited fans.
Spitt it's probably best to leave it be on the MG stuff. I'm a member of both MG and Tault and both places have a good community but there are always those bad seeds in each. I don't doubt that MG got spammed here and at the same time I've seen cracked copies of MG floating around here in the forums(SWTOR section I think). I just accept that both places don't get along and try not to bring up one or the other at each website.
As for botting I'm gonna hold off of that for awhile. I don't have an extra account to play around with and Anet seems like they're gonna be happy with the ban hammer.I've seen a ton of post about players getting short bans for character names and a post from Anet acknowledging players botting.
It's mostly players with simple scripts to keep pressing their auto attack in event areas but because of the public acknowledgment of people botting casual players are getting report happy from what I've heard.
I've seen a few post from people saying they got banned while botting and lucky for them they all reported it to be a 72 hour ban. Anet has said they will start enforcing their permanent ban stance on bots once they think they're curved the average players from running simple key binds through their razer mice and keyboards or whatever other programmable accessory they're using for botting.
Once I do get a chance to play around with a bot I'll most likely look into GW2 Minion. I like Tault but I've never liked ViperBot much. Another one might be from the people over at thebuddyforum.com but I've had mixed luck with their bots. They usually offer a cheap short trail of their bots though so it's easy enough to tell if you're gonna like it or if it's gonna be a good bot.
