    I don't think anyone doubts that bots are in frontlines.

    But considering how long bots in general have been allowed to thrive despite explicitly being noted as something that's prohibited in the game's ToS, it feels unlikely they'll ever actually do anything about it.

    The process of eliminating them is as simple as:

    1. Receive report claiming that player is a bot.
    2. Send player multiple tells.
    3. If player ignores said tells and keeps carrying on with whatever they're doing, then ban them. You don't need fancy software to figure out if someone is botting or not.

    The fact that all of the bots that I've reported several times since I started playing a year ago are still around suggests that they're either not even trying or said bots have a primitive auto-response system that's fooling them into thinking they aren't bots (And yes, they did actually do this in other games I played, and were programmed to respond only to tells from GMs).
