I give up, the bots win AKA: My flight is scheduled for departure

Here you touch on the core of the problem. Bots and RMT exist because there are players who demand their services. After all, why not when there is no penalty to the player for using the service? SE isn't going to ban their accounts.

I say ban both. But yes, the buyers really should be accountable for this too.

I tend to agree. back before bots -really- became an issue in gaming, buying currency was stepped on pretty hard, as the gaming industry stepped back from this, the bots exploded. there is really a direct link back to the industry policies and they need to briong back harsher penalties for those who buy in game currency from third parties. if the company wants a piece of that, more power to them, they ARE the ones that should be profiting.

problem is, now they dont seem to go after anyone. period. and its harming the overall gaming experience.
