Many of the bot programs that were around during launch were very sophisticated in how they handled things and could replicate player behavior fairly convincingly. I can only imagine they've gotten much more so in the intervening years... Sadly at that level all you can do is report them, but if they're not using the teleport glitches it can be very difficult for SE to suss out which characters are actually botting from those that are potentially botting.

Good luck with that.
I gotta say that once a week I get a tell from someone testing me if I'm a bot and half the time I don't respond. They get angry and threaten to report, and because I'mnot here to justify anyone's paranoia of whether I'm a bot or not, I don't care. I'm not teleport glitching. I'm not hurting anyone. Heck, sometimes I don't even see the tell because I'm watching TV or the chat log fills up so fast. This is just a vigilante witch hunt because people are overly-sensitive to a real problem that can only be solved by devs.
