an example on my server is a blm whos goes afk and like clockwork casts resonance flare every 5 mins to farm items. i know many people who have reported him but everyday he's back in the same place with no fear of ever being punished. the same goes with the crafting bots, fishing bots and so many others.

it's in such a ridiculous state that people do it so blatently and never get any kind of punishment. so i ask. is there any reason not to?

i'd love to see gm's clamp down on this heavily. just one fell swoop of blanket bans even for 48 hours on a first offence i think would be enough to stop alot of botters and send a clear message that it won't be tollerated rather than the current message of we couldn't care less.

Many people have reported him to GMs already, so if he doesn't get punished for it, then we know S.E. isn't doing anything. There are also bots farming hog hides in The Black Shroud too. It's almost a Laissez Faire type of situation at the moment, SE doesnt seem to care, and players learn to live with the "cheating".
