The fact that you came into this thread to DEFEND botting boggles my mind. You can say what you want, but the bottom line is it is cheating and shouldn't be tolerated. You saying essentially just sit back and accept it is what I find most confounding. I really have to question when someone openly supports botting.


As an aside, it literally takes me 30 seconds to make a post in this thread or make a screenshot. It's hardly a waste of time. If it's a waste of time, then it's bc SE hasn't taken action, and in that case shame on SE, not shame on me. Anyway, if you don't like the thread, don't look at it.

I'd like to know more information on this tbqh. I see the numbers, but then why are the same bots that have been reported over and over by several people still running around? What does a bot/account have to do to qualify for banning? Simply botting obviously isn't enough as we can clearly see from this thread. I had a group of bots that I know for a fact were reported by several people (it was discussed in "shout"), and still were there weeks later.

Now on a possibly positive note, the group of Lalas that were on my server have not been seen since 2.4. idk if it's bc of the patch, though I imagine the account runner would have made sure his bots were up and running again. Possibly banned? I can only hope, but I have no way of knowing for sure.
