Mining botters... (the situation is bleak)

[Adire]

Threads like these are created every other day. It's annoying but SE are aware of the problem. There's nothing else you can do except report them. Maybe SE could do more but making this thread won't make them any more aware of the issues unfortunately.

When there was a temporary lapse in complaints about the DRK aura, Yoshida pretty much figured the problem must have solved itself. If people stop complaining about bots, who is to say SE won't consider that problem solved too?

But there's not a lapse in reports? That's what I'm saying. I'm not arguing against the OP, all I'm saying is there's plenty of threads about bots already and the Devs can see them. They're aware of the issue.

Edit: and I agree there's a problem and SE can do more about the way we report and banning them. I'm literally just saying the forums are always filled with bot posts and there's a huge thread about the RMT.

Reports aren't available to the public eye for everyone to view. The forums are.

And I know. You stated such in one of your previous posts. We all hate bots, I'm sure. But a cease in complaints cannot lead to anything good, and the ongoing complaints really aren't doing anything bad. If anything, complaints about it encourages SE to do more.

It's not about making SE "aware". It's about letting them know the community's frustration with it, reminding them of the intensity of it, and putting the information that there are bots in the game, and lots of them, into the public eye. Because if that was not happening, there would be much less pressure for SE to do their best to control the problem.
