punishments are the same regardless although there are people who have been banned and gone far enough up the chain that the money they spent actually mattered to the people they talked to and where allowed to unban. The damage had already been done though. So it still worked. Also some just remake accounts though i am pretty sure we are not supposed to discuss cheating lol.. Even as strongly as i hate Bots and the people who think they have to keep up with other players that use them.. I do not use them and still get thief of the day so they are not the end all be all. Being super active is still > then auto farming.
