 +If this test succeeds but you continue to get the error, it's likely a Minion settings file is corrupt. Uninstalling and reinstalling ESOMinion should resolve the problem.

 ====== Suspensions and Avoiding Them ====== ====== Suspensions and Avoiding Them ======
  
 +===== Is Minion Detected? =====
 +
 +No, but you can still get caught if you bot long hours or are reported by other players.
 +
 +===== How are suspensions handled? =====
 +
 +Zenimax doesn't mess around if you get caught hacking or botting.
 +
 +Permanent bans are common, but you may receive a one-time reprieve if you contact customer service.
 +
 +Customer service appears to be more lenient with those who support the game. (e.g. ESO Plus subscribers, Crown-buyers, etc.)
 +
 +===== How can I prevent getting suspended? =====
 +
 +  * Don't bot inhuman hours and certainly don't bot 24×7.
 +  * Don't run multiple bots on the same machine. Zenimax tracks each account's Hardware ID. (HWID)
 +
 +Currently botting 12-16 hours per day seems to be the max before your account is red-flagged for investigation.

 +====== Other Questions ======
 +
 +===== Is there a "God Mode" or Damage Hack? =====
 +
 +No. The health and damage output calculations are all server-side.
 +
 +===== Do I have to use Minion's launcher to start the game? =====
 +
 +No. You can start the game, then have Minion attach by not filling out your game username and password in the launcher.
