I've already reported 5 level 80 gather bots today alone, 1 of them I have been reporting since last December at least, 2 for the past few weeks and 2 new ones I spotted today. I don't expect SE to do anything. It's getting really frustrating that I sit here manually gathering my crystals while other can load up a 3rd party bot and just go AFK letting the bot do everything for them and never get banned.

This is really just going to cause more people to start botting. "Oh look SE isn't banning gather bots, I'll just start doing it too!"
