The other thing is that while I've reported some of my my server's most obvious spiritbonding bots twice before, they are still there months later, months during which the Ixali were introduced and I now have to run past that same group in the same camp killing the same mobs like twice a day. I imagine hundreds of people do the same, and a few have likely MPKed them and/or reported them, all to no avail. I, personally, have not even received the courtesy of a "lol can't do anything sorry" response to my reports before. But now that I've found out about that Lodestone form, I'm going to give that a shot.

At least I only get 1 or 2 /tell gilseller spam now. That's way below what it used to be here, and the same for WoW and FFXI and Lineage.
