Lack of action against gathering bots, it needs to be changed, and soon

[Arrius]

Judging by what I see people saying in this thread, is it safe to assume that botting is ultimately... allowed? I mean, if you are currently cheating and see another player who tries to disrupt your gathering bot, and then you can report this player who is then punished by a GM who literally doesn't care that there is a cheater running around, it is the same level of absurdity as in the Hildibrand quests.

Not punishable = allowed

Stop making mountains out of mole hills here.

What the GM is meaning that you shouldn't exert punishment on your own, but instead report the suspicious individual.
'Vigilante justice' can always hit someone who isn't involved in all this, which is why support need those reports to investigate whenever those accusations are true or false.
