Attention devs: Game Surveillance Unit re: open world Bots.

[Sadana]

I've reported so many as well on a bunch of different servers I've played on. My guess, SE wants the 'numbers' for advertising and the income from these accounts. We hate to see them and want them gone, but this reason is my best guess as to why they are not being removed as fast as we'd like and why there is no mod/dev response about this.

For those who use the (annoying but legitimate, I might add) reasoning of "SE can't be SURE these are bots and not 'real players'", look at the screenshot of the clones Vladislav posted, there is NO way to have the afk symbol up while actually playing (and not running a script). My logic says there is the proof they are botting and can be terminated completely from the game. Therefore we are back to 'SE wants the numbers and the money'... and that's just sad.

I think on some threads, a few players will say "The bots aren't bothering you, why be so upset about them?" It's because nothing (imo), even emote or ability spam or other annoying things, ruins the game like seeing a crowd of botted characters auto attacking everything nearby, mining underground, or jumping into walls repeatedly (when afk for a certain time made you auto log out).
