I don't care what anyone's personal opinion on this is. The simple fact is that we all know, and can agree, that on ANY and EVERY server you play lineage 2 whether retail or a private server the simple fact remains that botting is ILLEGAL and is always a first time permanent ban offense. No one gets to argue that “oh I'm sorry I didn't realize using 3rd party programs was illegal even though it says it all over every servers rules and agreements that I've played on for the past 15 years!” People can choose to play dumb if they want to, but when you get caught you should stop crying and accept your fate of being permanently banned and your gear, items, and adena lost with your account.
If you commit the crime accept the punishment. Being stupid isn't an excuse.?
