When I first started playing WoW in 2007 bots were EVERYWHERE. They were spamming chat advertising their sites. They were running into the main cities and dying to spell out their website in dead bodies. They were gathering as well. When I think back to when I last played the game (several years ago) I can't think of of the last time I saw a spam message in chat or a bot. They fixed their server and client code to not only patch out and prevent many bots but their greatly improved their client side bot software detection software.

Sure there still are bots but you almost rarely see them. There are 2 now level 80 gathering bots, one of them that I've been reporting since last December and the other since March that SE just won't ban. I just checked while posting this message and they are there, gathering those Aetherial Reduction nodes. They run the loops 24/7 non-stop. SE WILL NOT BAN THEM. There also appears to be a 3rd one now too.

The fact that SE won't even ban reported bots makes me want to quit this game.
