I'd like to make a note of a comment some people have said about "Just report them!" first and foremost, no don't "Just report them" especially when it comes to 'botting' I don't bot but I do spend hours at a time harvesting the same trees over and over for materials, like crystals or basic items that are needed frequently in crafts. Sure RMT tells and friend requests, report those immediately. But don't assume, even if people in /shout are saying "Oh yeah I bot all the time" because well the internet has this thing it likes to do called trolling. I know I get the occasional passerby who stops and watches me for a bit, I usually poke them and say something along the lines of "Like what you see?" (because my botanist is shirtless) sometimes I strike a pose, but its none of another players damn business when I am gathering and for how long I decide to gather particular nodes.

Just my 2 cents.
