But it hurts us all because on top of the reports pointing to actual bots the 3 people of the task force would also have to investigate a lot of erroneous reports too. Now, in the case of actual bots the investigation may be fast because the signs may be too obvious at first glance, but what about legit players wrongfuly being accused? there are 2 possible scenarios:

1) Since there are no clear signs of illicit activity a more extensive investigation is required until they can be 100% sure that the player is clean. This may take a long time, and that's time not spent into investigating actual bots. And let's not forget that the task force has a big total of 3 people.

2) The investigation is fast and not serious and based mostly on testimony from the reports, causing some innocent players to get banned in the process.

So it all boils down to something I already said before in this very thread: I know RMT and its advertising are super bothersome to all of us, but going on a witch hunt and reporting everybody at the first suspicious sign is not helping either and on the contrary, may be causing even more problems. Report a player only when you're 100% sure of your accusations.
