Hello friends, I have a question.

They don't have a reason for it, though. As much as bots are annoying and even kind of harmful for playerbase, so much they are actually profitable for the company, since it's a P2P game. Every bot is a sold copy of the game, a decent amount of money after every ban wave when accounts-holder buys new copies to continue his botting. So it is... kind of very thin balance, I suppose? Doesn't sound good when you think about it, yes, but it is what it is.

Thing is botters don't legally buy a game copy. Most cases come from a stolen account or stolen credit card information. IMO your typical botter is not that problematic compared to with high-end players that do it, I guessing once the expansion arrives quite a few players are going to bot front lines to level up their classes.

To the OP: As people already told you SE ban on waves your typical gil farmer, "regular" players botting... well, at times they are never banned.
