Does SE actually ban botters?

[Corrderio]

it's a waste...since they probably aren't really botting...

So what would you make of all the R20+s still using a R1 tool and starting gear?

Possibly just noobs... or confused individuals.

Whistles.. I was using rank 1 tools for a while since I did not know better, ;/.

There are other tools but R1 tools? Woha, really? Awesome!
I'm just around lvl 19 though, but I think I should really start to search for those awesome new tools so I'm not considered a bot user when I lvl up

Lots of people just don't know better, so please don't jump to conclusions because of something like that.


Oh, and about the calculation Hotohori did:
960 Levequests in 36h?
That would imply they only take 2.2 minutes per levequest, including getting the levequests, running to the location, starting them, getting rewards, etc.
TWO minutes. Even if bots are able to run over hills I'm not able to, this is just impossible.
So please tone your calculation a whole lot down, bots' influence is not nearly as bad as your calculation makes it seem to be.
