The saddest thing here is that since this thread is still going on, without any answer from a community rep/dev team, they are just showing that botting is going unpunished, thus showing that it's safe to bot.

So, in short terms, by not banning bots they are encouraging people to bot even more.

Meanwhile, the famous 4 Black Mages of Cerberus are still happily botting. They're not even hidding anymore, they just sit in Mor Dhona, queueing endlessly infront of everyone.
I'm pretty sure that they get at least a dozen reports per day (unless people already gave up...).
