They don't blow off reports about bots. Bots are useful in tracking other accounts within an RMT network. The gil sold to players is generated by those bots, so SE can follow the gil, and find the command and control accounts, the bankers, and others. In other words, these bots are the little fish that lead to the big ones.

Western gamers appear to be more prone to purchasing gil, so the RMT goes where the market is.
