    I'm getting really sick of FR.
    Actually sounds like fr is worse than neo

    If Neopets wants to improve their security, they should talk to FR. I've botted there plenty of times before and never got caught (when I was careful, obviously--I've gotten caught when I wasn't), but I've never botted at FR and gotten "caught" twice.

    I got banned for botting on a shell that wasn't even linked to botting.

    FR's getting crazy now.

    ...o the irony.

    What if they have a bot that sniffs out suspicious behavior and flags it for further review?

    They probably also have their eyes peeled the most during welcome week; they're aware there's people who make alts during it and they probably keep a lookout for any newbies who may suddenly produce a lot of treasure/get a team of lvl25s and grind the coliseum immediately.

    @(you need an account to see links) Then they should target those people, not an account that was opened the same year as the site.

    Okay, I had someone tell me that they didn't think I was banned?

    So I went and I logged in and I'm not, all of a sudden?

    All my treasure is gone, but the dragons and items are still there, so I guess I'll survive. O.o

    @(you need an account to see links) Yeah, that was actually a minute or two right before they banned me. That's all the warning I had.

    I was in the middle of a CR and it was saying I didn't have the 27k I needed, so I was like, "What? I have 1m+ 'in my pocket' and another 20m in the vault!" I was headed to the bug reports to say something and the next thing I know, I'm logged out and the "you've been banned for botting" sign is up.

    I have an abandoned account that I messaged my "guest nesters" on--one got hers out because it was in the CR? (Or maybe I was already unbanned by then and didn't know it?) And the other was like, "{Regular account} doesn't look banned. Are you sure?" So I tried to login and there I was, like nothing had ever happened--except for my treasure being cleared out.


    1m of my holdings was legit and I'd bought the other 20m. I'm not going to say anything, though, lest they get the idea that they should re-ban me. =O


    ---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

    Okay, I did ask for it back. (The 1m legit, I mean.)

    Mainly because I couldn't stand the mental argument anymore. x_x
