They can if it's the same account. RMT delete their characters to make new ones and get around blacklisting, so that's something different entirely.

RMT bots aside, on Hyperion there are several actual players botting around the clock for months now, and they have NEVER received punishment for this. There's even an entire FC of botters that have been hitting the same location all day every day for months and have received numerous reports because they're always killing relic mobs.
