That's exactly what i did see not so long ago on reddit. In the middle of the veryyyyyyyyy long post complaining of having being unjustly banned, the only relevant lines were the method he used to "detect" bots : sending them private messages, group invites and trade requests. If i am in the middle of a boss fate fight, busy doing my rotation, i don't think i would be pleased that some self-proclamed hero of justice start sending me "hey, are you here ?" and "if you don't answer in five seconds i am reporting you for boting !" mps, before trying to trade me repeatedly.

But what if this guy makes dozens of other players stop the game because they can't stand to see bots anymore ? Wouldn't that bring more money to ban all the boter accounts ?

Too many whiteknights and whales around for any sort of bot or boycot to have an effect on SE's treatment of the playerbase

The devs/mods of this game protect botters more than their actual playerbase.

Deleting a topic is a lowhanging fruit. Banning botusers is more difficult. :)

But they should seriously go after the customers of the RMT services and ban them. Without customers, it dies very quickly.

? Where did I whiteknight?

I went to Walmart and the guy at the McDonalds was cooking burgers while my car needed work to be done on it.

In companies, people have their own job. The guys deleting posts on the forums (for clear rules violations) aren't doing that INSTEAD of going in and banned bots, fixing job balance, fixing code bugs, etc.
