Dofus bots and the risk of a ban: what can honestly be said
Let's start with the only sentence that matters: using a bot on Dofus breaches Ankama's terms of service, and exposes you to a sanction — a warning, a temporary suspension, or a permanent ban of the account.
This is not boilerplate at the bottom of a page. It is the actual framework, it does not move, and no software vendor can make it go away.
One day, three ways to spend it
Example slots, not a measurement. The most important thing this page has to show: a player stops.
Why we don't promise undetectability
You will find bots advertised as “100% undetectable”. We wrote that on this very site, and we removed it. Three reasons.
It cannot be verified
Nobody outside Ankama knows what their systems detect, or when that changes. A claim that cannot be proven is worth nothing.
It does not survive the first ban
The day a user loses their account, that sentence becomes the evidence — against us, and rightly so.
It no longer matches reality
The conversation in the community has changed. Experienced players are no longer looking for an undetectable Dofus bot: they are looking to manage a risk, and advise each other not to farm around the clock.
What gets noticed, and what we do about it
Without claiming to describe Ankama's systems: four behaviours that keep coming up in what the community reports, and opposite each one, our answer. These reduce a risk; they never guarantee anything.
Mechanical regularity
A character that always clicks in the same place, with the same delay, never deviating. A human does not do that.
Delays that vary
The time between actions is not constant. It is drawn from a range, not fixed to a value.
Endless sessions
Continuous activity over durations no player sustains. It is the easiest signal to spot and the one most often cited against farming bots.
Time slots rather than continuous activity
Scheduling lets you define when the bot works. We prefer a tool that stops to a tool that runs until the ban.
Inhuman reactions
Chaining actions without ever hesitating, neither before one nor between two.
Irregular pauses
The bot stops at moments that follow no fixed pattern, for durations that are never the same: you set the range, it draws from it.
Reports from other players
Often underestimated, and probably the most frequent. Legitimate players dislike bots because they crash prices at the marketplace and make spots unusable. On busy gathering areas this is a very real risk — and a strictly human one.
It answers private messages
A character that never answers when spoken to ends up reported. With auto-reply, EZGather answers private messages: a short sentence, in the tone of the person writing, sent when a player would send it — after a map change, never mid-action — and typed like a human, hesitations included. As for the rest, a busy gathering spot is still a place where you are seen: that part is on you.
What EZGather does
We act on what is ours to control, namely the behaviour of the software.
- Delays that vary. The time between actions is not constant. It is drawn from a range, not fixed to a value.
- Irregular pauses. The bot stops at moments that follow no fixed pattern.
- Time slots rather than continuous activity. Scheduling lets you define when the bot works. That is deliberately a constraint: we would rather ship a tool that stops than one that runs until the ban.
- No modification of the Dofus client. EZGather injects no code into the game and modifies none of its files. It relies on what the game displays and transmits, then simulates clicks and keystrokes the way a player would.
- No password stored on our side. Your Dofus credentials never pass through our servers.
- An answer to private messages. When a player writes to you, the bot replies — briefly, at a natural moment, with typing that hesitates. A silent account is the first one to get reported.
A reduction, not a guarantee
All of this reduces signals. None of it is a guarantee, and we give none.
What we advise
These recommendations are not specific to EZGather; they have been the community consensus for years.
- Do not run a bot on your main account. It is the most repeated and most ignored piece of advice. An account lost is an account lost.
- Do not keep large amounts of kamas on an automated account.
- Do not run the bot continuously. Set slots that look like a player's rhythm. A character active eighteen hours a day, seven days a week, resembles nothing credible.
- Be careful on busy areas. A popular gathering spot is a place where you are seen.
- Enable two-factor authentication on your Ankama account. It has nothing to do with the risk of a ban, but everything to do with your account's security, and it is free.
What we will not do
- We will not tell you there is no risk.
- We will not publish a “ban rate” — we have no way to measure one honestly.
- We will not refund a subscription following a ban: that would be selling insurance on a risk we do not control.
If those terms do not suit you, the only honest answer is not to use a bot. That is a perfectly reasonable choice.
Frequently asked questions
Is using a bot on Dofus illegal?
It is not a matter of law but of contract: automation breaches the terms of service you accepted when creating your account. The sanction is contractual — losing the account — not criminal.
Can you get banned using EZGather?
Yes. As with any Dofus bot. We reduce some signals; we do not remove the risk.
Does an “undetectable” bot exist?
No, and nobody can prove otherwise. A vendor who claims it is asking you to take their word on the one point you cannot verify.
Is it riskier on certain professions?
Visibility varies. Busy gathering areas expose you to reports from other players more than isolated or underground ones. The human factor is real.
Compare the five gathering professionsWhat happens if I get banned?
The appeal goes through Ankama's support, not through us. We can do nothing about it, and we do not pretend otherwise.
