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

[Applesnap]

Fifteenth report of North Shroud Balmung bots. I seriously do not know what to do any more. We've been told that PKing them is a bannable offence (100% dead cert punishment for us and they'd be Teflon) and I've personally been told to stop reporting the Balmung group by a GM. At a loss atm.

Let's take a quick look at the facts:

• No official reply here, despite months of posts and 30+ pages.
• RMT mentioned here have survived months of ban waves.
• Players have been told to stop interfering with them, whether that's trading, PKing or reporting.
• A few groups of 4-7 RMT per server will not even scratch SE's profit margins, so sub fee excuse is invalid.
• Bots actually sending tells to people and telling them to give up reporting, laughing.
• We are doing half of the legwork investigating for SE and still NOTHING is done.

My idea is to submit the question of "Why won't you remove any of the RMT listed [in this thread], despite it exceeding thirty pages of discussion?" the next time a live letter is due. I know it'll be ignored because SE really don't give a damn but I absolutely refuse to give up.
