I think slow isnt the word you are wanting here. Slow is weeks later before they are banned. I still see bots that have been in my area since day 1 launch. That isnt slow, thats just not caring. Do you remember when the goldceo players were spamming? You could look up goldceo on lodestone and it brought up 45 pages or players with that name. Did SE do much about it? Not much at all, it took out cry after out cry on the boards for the super obvious RMT to be banned. You dont have to put alot of resources into investigating teleport bots. Its not that hard to stand there and watch them flit around. And a mass ban would be thousands of accounts gone in one swipe, not 1000 or less every 3 months or so across ALL servers. So you see Im not contradictory at all.

SE does not care one bit about bots, because they are paying a monthly fee, and money is still the almighty god of the world, real or digital.
