Like the confusing thing is, when you see someone running from node to node without stealth, that's more than likely a bot than a player, because only a bot script would try to get the most efficient timing. A player doesn't beeline to the next node the second they stop harvesting, and do it for 24 hours straight, nobody is that perfect.
To be completely honest, with the way popular bots work nowadays it's extremely hard to tell.

Simple youtube videos showcase more advanced, randomized mesh pathing as well as plugins for proper rotations, movement, dodging, etc.

We need to really rely on SE rather than our own suspicions.

These botters are not smart, they are business men believe it or not. So they are going to have that bot running until their PC gets so hot that it turns into a spaceship and enters atmosphere. SE just needs live GM spectators in areas with activity.
