"If you believe someone is using a program which gives him/her an unfair advantage, or have witnessed the buying, selling, or bot-driven farming of items using real currency, you may submit a claim here" - Located under "Report Cheating"

Using a bot to gather provides an unfair advantage over a gatherer that does not use one.
  • There is no record of any reports made when reporting cheating
  • There is zero feedback for the report. I'm talking about something as simple as a status to indicate it has been reviewed
  • You can't name people using bot programs and naming botters seems to be a more serious infraction than actually using bots

I reported several gathering bots multiple times back in November. From what I can see, most are still botting.

I'm not sure what the intent of the current setup is, but for me, I won't be reporting any more bots, as the system in place seems to favor botters, which is fine, but please stop sending mixed messages.

For people that will suggest that I have been wrong in identifying bots:

There are six bots in the link, some of which were reported for the same activity back in November. The bots doing this don't have gibberish names. While some are obvious alts used to bot, others are using their mains, as they'll have most/all jobs at 60.

I would even go as far as saying there are times when the MAJORITY of endgame gatherers online are botting.
