Phoenix is overrun with Monday Morning bot herds

Keep reporting, the huge uptick in RMT perma-bans has only come since the easier RMT reporting began. Reporting the pernicious little roaches obviously works.

True, chat spam reporting is easy now (of course one could say it was far too long coming) but bot reporting is no easier than it's always been, there's no 'report bot' mouse click for that you have to spend a lot of time filling in the 'Report Cheating' dialog, as well as capturing the names via player search (they disappear often too quickly to be sure of the full name), each report takes 2-3 minutes to complete.

I still wonder where RMT get their vast number of accounts, I've never believed SE's assertion they're ALL stolen!

More Player Searches: PAP and KUK

Keep reporting the tells, they can trace some of the others through those. The more reports of bots and other RMT the better, anything that helps trace the networks is what results in 50,000 accounts getting banned in 2 weeks.

Yeah, I don't believe it's stolen accounts either. A long while back I counted up all the RMT action reports and it was over 500,000 accounts banned since ARR started, I'm sure it's a lot more now. There is no way the majority of those are legitimate user accounts that were hijacked.

That and many have nonsensical names.
