Contract GM for banning bots?

[Mistyregions]

Anyone have an idea if that would work? You contract people to GM 24/7 every GM you contract works in a timezone and you can keep track of their hours. I feel like just having 1 GM present for RMT per server active at all time is not that expensive. Would it save them money is my question.

So lets say misty regions your TZ is EST and your usual play hours are 6am- 11am and you can follow up if I logged in by tracking my hours and my activity. You can dual box or cruise around on your main and if you come across a train of bots you hop on over and boom fill your quota to get paid.

It doesn't because the GM's who handle player issues aren't part of the bot task force from what I recall. They also prefer to mass ban rather than individual ban.

It's just logistically impossible...

No matter how many real life people you have doing that, the Bots are made by the hundreds or thousands by automated software.

Except for the "normal" bots like DoH/L ones that cannot be mass produced and can be easily weeded out through casual observation of their movement/activity patterns.

They have more of a directly negative effect on things then the gil sellers from their tendency to control the economy.
