Botting

[Zakalwe]

We have a winner. It's basically free money for SE without the need to implement a cash shop, and you skip past the bad press and negative consequences. Why wouldn't they do this?

Well, if we wanted to go into full conspiracy mode here, wouldn't SE make even more money with quick bans so they could keep selling more games and subs as the RMT churn through new accounts? LOL

If they are obvious botters with no way to hide it then it is possible that since they know they will get banned for sure the next ban hammer hits and so they troll SE by creating new chars with the same names as the old ones. It also sends a message to the gill buyers that they are here to stay as it gives the illusion that these chars are safe.
