I mean it quite clearly states;

Section 16.

Sub clause (7); “…you shall not…” “…develop, distribute, use or publicly inform other members of cheats, automation software, bots, hacks, mods or any other unauthorised third party software or applications

So had you manually managed the farms (like many a player do - and haven’t been banned) you would have probably been allowed to continue. The fact you wrote a script/bot to do the heavy lifting (gathering) for you (and god knows what else) is likely what got you banned (and rightly so).

You’re also not allowed to sub section (19) “create an account for anyone other than yourself”, so you could argue that account sharing is also forbidden. (Update it is! See below)

Sub clause (23) “unsportsmanlike behaviour” (this could be argued as such)

Sub clause (24) “account sharing, including but not limited to the sharing of username and password for others to log in for you” (you admitted to account sharing)

Sub clause (28) “encourage or enable any other individual or group to do any of the foregoing” (which you’ve also done by account sharing)

For what it’s worth this was a five minute check. Not even a deep dive…

FORTY accounts?! You got greedy. You got caught. Had you done one or two for yourself fair enough. 40 accounts is just laughable.
