we have that problem on a regular basis on odin server. i can garantee SE will do absolutely dick about it. they wont lower the price of lumber cuz that would be unfair to all players. and they wont ban the bots either. i feel the same as you, but they only thing you can do is report to a gm, get told by that same gm to file a report with the STF since they nerfed the gms, (see dictionary under the word "castration") file a report with the STF and watch as nothing gets done. its simple. botters pay like everybody else to play. if they ban all the botters, there goes at least a good 10% of the current player population on any server. never mind that they are in obvious violation of the user agreement and TOS. its the corporate mentality, and that will never change.
