    Last thing you did: Holding down the attack button in the map "ghost ship 2"
    Why do you think you got banned?: I am a cleric. I may have looked like a bot, as I was watching a movie and not responding to chat messages. I dced a lot so if a GM did try and talk to be the message would not have stayed for long.
    Ban message when attempting to log in: Your account has been temporarily banned for botting. Expired 23rd Jan
    What GM banned you (optional): Sila

    Seriously, the only way to grind on that map for me (or any other cleric) from level 50-75 is to hold down the heal button.

    I gain no advantage over anyone else with how I was playing, I have done nothing but be respectable to all those around me and within the server. I try to be active in the community.

    And my ban is for actively sitting at the computer and playing the game?

    I don't understand how what I have done is wrong?

    Most people can watch a movie and keep an eye on what's happening ingame at the same time. If you find this difficult, maybe it would be better for you to listen to music while grinding, instead? I don't think we're being unreasonable in expecting people to keep enough of an eye on what their character is doing that they notice their attack hasn't been damaging monsters for several minutes and that a GM is talking to them.

    I don't understand what you want from me.

    To say I should listen to music instead of watch movies.. seriously, we all know how boring grinding is, I listened to music and it got boring, I turned on a movie and got banned halfway through.

    But it seems that I have been banned for not responding to a GM, not for "botting".
    Are we just assuming at this point I am guilty of botting, is there nothing I can do to prove I was not botting?

    You also got warped to another map by the GM and continued healing for at least 30 seconds.

    Yep I don't deny that happened, I am just saying I did that while pressing the heal button, while looking at another screen. I wasn't botting.

    This is no different to if you 'fall asleep' with your finger on a button, or put a weight on a button, because you are playing the game without paying any attention. If you were really at your computer you would have noticed the screen changing from the dark dismal colour of GS2 to the bright lit Boat Quay Town when the GM warped you.

    That is the thing, as bad as I am at multitasking, I was at my computer.
    So we are just assuming at this point I am guilty of botting, is there nothing I can do to prove I was not botting?

    You had the chance to prove you were not botting when you were warped to the town, you had at least 30 seconds to stop attacking or respond to the GM. Your ban won't be lifted.
