THEN I got a /tell from the "partner" person using that bot who was synthing, saying I had no right to do that.
My reply: well if you HAD replied to my 5 /tells originally, then i would not have reported you, and clearly you were using a 3rd party program to run your characters to synth since it was blatantly obvious.
I've also gone into Palborough Mines and done many /sh saying "I am reporting every toon I see botting farming in here today while i am TRYING to farm my items for my mission!" over and over.
Somehow the bots left, but only for a short while.
That might help you collecting them.
