    Maybe it is good to adress this Issue within the Liveletter which will come incase they may wanted our Questions again. or we really cry loud about it like we did with housing...
    There was a gathering bot that I reported during Heavensward. It did eventually disappear. Took a while, but it is gone.

    As you can probably think, Glamour Questions were more prioritized...
    What? Wow that's really not cool from them. Still hope they reconsider this issue. <___<

    If many more people report a specific bot think it can disappear. So ye it could work.... maybe.

    Also may I ask to people who play other MMOs: How do they get rid of them? Speaking of both RMT and Gatherer Bots from actual active people.

    They don't. It's a never ending dance. Bot programmer makes a bot and sells it. Game developers study said bot, determine how to detect it, then ban them. Bot programmers see how they are being detected and make a new bot that won't be and sell it. And so on.

    The legitimate player who was running the bot probably just quit the game
