I have just stopped worrying about them. As far as I can tell they have no real affect on me. The only time they do is when I become obsessed with getting one banned.

As far as soul binding goes. Well I went and hunted down some spots that no one seems to use(no I will not disclose the locations of my spots ). They are a bit more dangerous but, they are just as efficient as urth's gift.

Basically you are making it more hard on your self by being obsessed with them. Not to mention the what would happen to the market by removing such bots. Crystals and raw goods would fly through the roof and making it harder for people trying to start crafting / buy things.

Now I am not saying I support them; I am just stating I am not concerned w/ them any more.
