    They exist in nearly every mmo at one time or another. Its how its then dealt with, and the timliness that becomes the issue.

    Botters and gold sellers exist in every mmo. Not teleporting botters/gold sellers. At least none I've ever heard or seen. Oh, they also did exist on Neverwinter Online too.

    They are supposed to.

    Here is a very enlightening article by a Game Designer named Raph Koster. The most important thing Designers need to realize is- The Client is in the hands of the Enemy.
    Another important thing Developers need to realize is that-

    Macroing, botting, and automation
    No matter what you do, someone is going to automate the process of playing your world.

    Corollary:
    Looking at what parts of your game players tend to automate is a good way to determine which parts of the game are tedious and/or not fun.
    I wonder if Yoshi and Co. have read The Laws of Online World Design.
