Mining botters... (the situation is bleak)

Doesn't really help that ban in waves, after the items and such have already been sold and (most likely) sent to a dormant account that doesn't bot or advertise.

They ban in waves because they are investigating, and ban accounts related to theinvestigation when done, not as they go. This is so they can trace the botting accounts, the bankers, the advertisers and the trading accounts that put stuff on the MB. The bots can't be instabanned because each needs to be investigated to be sure before action is taken. Plus leaving the farm bots in fact allows them to trace the entire network the bot is part off. The ban waves are basically the 'network' of related RMT acvounts being removed at once.
