How about maybe they shouldn't?

The short answer to OP's question:
Because anything that's scripted or automated that results in a ban/silence can and will be abused by players who figure it out.

I’m pretty sure all IPs from China are already blocked. They have their own region and cannot log in the NA/EU/JP version without a VPN.

Thats still automation. But it’s not like SE isn’t going after RMT, they just need our help.
