    I will concede that, I havent done it since pre 2.2 patch, I think. I'll try it again tonight. But, as i mentioned in a previous thread about Bots, If this is an RMT bot doing it to make RL money, Banning a character or account is a trivial setback for them. The best course of action would be to identify the exploit, if there is one, fix it, without breaking the intended system for legit players, then tracking the IP to the source of where these bots are coming from and try to correct the issue at the source, if possible. Banning the bot is a very temporary solution that never fixes or resolves the actual problem.

    This is proof SE does not do anything with bots because they will still be there days later even tho it is plastered in their face that a bot is clearly preset.
    My mistake, I saw that post i quoted and remembered doing this quite some time ago. I'm not defending bots or SE's courses of action, i was simply mistaken and I will verify it later tonight. No need to be so curt. As I said above, banning the bot, chr or account, does not fix the problem. It would only make you feel better until the next one comes along called Asidfgnu Khertihvw.
