    I'm really not sure how it is that they go about investigating bots because even if they're not able to spot their obviously scripted movement patterns the sheer amount of gathered/crafted items they have in their inventories/storage as well as logged in their achievement records compared to normal players should be a huge red flag.

    I feel like they're trying to rely entirely on some kind of faulty bot detection tool when they should conducting a proper investigation through non-automated methods.

    It wasn't too much of a problem during HW on Cactaur, but it's blown up ever since 4.1 released. Almost all of the bots that were present then and reported multiple times are still around, and the number of them continues to grow as more people feel pressured into resorting to their methods to compete on the market, or simply start reasoning that there's no sense in not doing it when there's almost no risk of actually getting banned.

    I can't help but wonder how badly those few players being banned each week for botting screwed up to actually get caught when even the most obvious of the ones I've reported have gotten away with it for over two years straight.
