That's what needs to be done. You start to wonder what the STF team are doing when you have people becoming famous for being botters and nothing's being done to them.

I remember when the Namazu beast tribe quests were released, that I found a gathering bot around the Steppe's nodes. I said in shout chat "Come see this bot here" and instantly got replies in shout saying "You mean XXXX? Yeah, he's been at it for a while". This will easily discourage people from reporting botters if they see nothing's done to those blatantly botting.
