This. I also think they should go after the people coding the bots outright. I don't think I've heard any instances of SE actually going after the botting communities at their sources, as opposed to WoW who actually successfully sued the people supplying some of the most widely used code. It won't /stop/ botting entirely, but working at it on two fronts might actually be a little more useful than what they're currently doing. Which basically amounts to trying to stop sand from trickling down a dune.

It's hard not to get the impression, however wrong it is, that they just don't care with their current level of response.
