Thing is, I'm pretty sure they did at one point. I remember when some guy was caught fishing by a GM and wouldn't respond. The guy just vanished.
I also went to an area once where someone was botting, years ago, I called a GM and they too just went poof into a cloud of smoke.
Sirmarki, ex-Fenrir, a young warrior, in the heyday.
This issue is still ongoing, bots and RMTs are holding the area hostage.
not resolved at all.
there are many bots out there keeping you out of Salvage.
report it here, include as many names as you can in the report.

It does work, it can take a month or so though. Don't expect it to be instant.
The fact that it takes more than an hour is insulting to say the least
It should be handled vastly better than it is, but your expectation is unrealistic, they can't just automatically ban people over an accusation, their policies require an investigation. If they just act without doing so, incorrect bans can potentially be issued by people "caught in the middle" as it were.
Yes they can, and should. Nothing easier than verifying a bot. An hour is being extremely generous.
Nothing more cut and dried. They choose to make it a process. That process is unnecessary.
Drop a GM in Dho Gates, I'll give them a personal tour, we'll ban 100 bots in 10 minutes. So simple. Anyone who is actually watching their bot and complains about getting Gaol'd can be set free. The ones that don't, insta ban, no 3 days.

I mean, that process may be unnecssary to you, but clearly it isn't to them.
your steamroller method is likely to pick up non RMT in the crossfire, and SE clearly isn't willing to take t hat risk. They have their process because they don't want anyone to be banned without 100% confirmation of a violation. And unfortunately, they decide that on an individual basis.
And NGL, I could probably do the exact same thing as you, as quite frankly I might argue that one or two semi-possibly-innocent people is a small price to pay to smack down a bunch of bots in one swoop.
The problem is, those bots will come back, the real players probably won't. It's a game of whack-a-mole you can't win, even with a considerably more efficient process.
