The bot mining on my server is getting ridiculous as of late. I've already submitted 2 reports this morning after only 30 minutes of mining. One of the botters actually noticed I was there after 5 minutes and teleported away.

How to notice an obvious botter:
1.They run in straight lines
2.They don't stop unless to change direction or if stuck
3.When stuck they stop moving for a few seconds and eventually jump then keep moving
4.Move in patterns.

They are so stupidly easy to spot yet nothing can really be done about it except report them. By the time a report is dealt with the marketboard more than likely has already been hit by them and prices plumit. Yay for some people I guess but bad for those of us who leveled these skills for the purpose of money making.

I'm not going to spend my time sitting at the computer headdesking through 3 hours of mining when other people are doing it while they sleep,eat,work or whatever. I don't know what the fix is, I don't care how it gets fixed. I will say that if "nothing" is done then you guys just encourage everyone who isn't doing it to do it and BELIEVE me, I have been considering it. Especially when you find out after a few days or weeks they are still logging in.

Why can't SE just pick some dedicated members of the community from servers to do something about it. Even if its the ability to forcelog out a botter and report their actions directly to a GM or something. Like I said, I don't claim to know the solution. Mine isn't the best, their may not be a best solution but reporting is "not" working.
