Couple questions

New to this game (shocking, I know) and I see botting is a huge issue but that's the same for many other games. My questions are: would I get in trouble for mining on maps that are swarmed with bots even if I try to avoid the mobs? I worry I'll be banned just by being around them when I just want mines.
My other question is if it's okay to have multiple accounts to sell stuff in the auction house. The 10 slot limit is just so bare minimum and I love to merch on games but I'd like to avoid any trouble if I can.

    There shouldn't be any problem just being in the same map as a bot, mining should also be fine. The line tends to be drawn at "benefiting from bots", which would mean helping yourself to their drops or the mobs they vacuum into one spot. That said, you're still relatively safe from getting bopped if you attack vacuumed mobs. Consider a class like xenon who has a passive that procs on damage taken a successful dodge and launches a few small rockets toward random nearby mobs. It's unrealistic to expect players to never damage or kill mobs that a bot has tagged, just don't make a habit of grinding up your character(s) by way of killstealing bots and you'll be fine.

    As for the auction house slot limit, I don't think there's a problem with that? But if you're alright with spending money, or if it was your intent from the beginning, look into the mvp system, which doubles the amount of slots available to you. Decide for yourself if it's a worthwhile investment.
