So I"ve reported these bots...

It's sad to say, but there is no point. SE might be taking the approach where they go after the more "valuable" targets, meaning those that actually store/sell the gil, which means that reporting those gathering/SBing bots you see will do nothing. This is the same story on every server.

Also, banning the smaller bots would mean SE takes a hit to their subs, which clearly they can't have. Profits are profits after all.

There is a group of 4 bots that are always are in the same place on Midgardsormr (North Shroud), and that group has been reported numerous times for as long as I can remember. People get a group of 4 together and lock them into a trade while they are in combat, and they just fall over and die after a bit.
