The STF does nothing and I'm going to post every report I file as proof.

There's an NM in there that drops some Bard scroll.

@uriah question what is valuable in sea serpent grotto anymore?

Virelai, and Raise II, some other songs/white magic

Is it worth a ton of money? No. Is it valuable enough to leave a bot there 24/7 for years? Apparently.

Also just for clarity, it doesn't matter how much, how good, or why. All that matters is they're botting. Being reported for botting. And not being investigated.

And not being investigated.

Well, you can't actually prove they were never investigated, only that nothing came of it. And yes, they may be incompetent enough to have decided it wasn't worthy of being addressed, but that doesn't mean it wasn't investigated.

If a bot is doing no harm, what the hell does it matter? If I buy 40 stacks of "Mikhe's Note" to skill up my Guarding skill, then write a script to use them all instead of sitting down and pressing the ENTER key 960 times, what does that matter?

And I checked FFXIAH for auction history on Asura. Maiden's Virelai is sold by several different people, ditto for Raise 2. Also, who the hell buys a scroll of Virelai? Unless you're some completionist Bard who just wants to have a useless song for the sake of having it.

So I see a few possibilities here:

1) The players in question were investigated and banned a while ago, but you are not actually checking and you are still spamming the forums about them anyway.
2) These bots don't actually exist, and you are outright lying through your teeth to be annoying.
3) The reports were investigated, and the bots were left alone because they were harmless. They were found to be the equivalent of throwing a cup of water on somebody; you have technically committed the crime of simple assault, but you don't get arrested because it's such a petty crime.
