The bot problem is rising and real.

The bots arn't on free accounts.

They are on real accounts with stolen credit cards, a few hundred years bought all at once, turned into accounts, and used before the card company catches on

I find this really concerning considering SE's apparently inaction on the problem.

It's actually bad for the company, because when the cards are charged back the company has to pay back the money from the purchase, and also have to pay an additional fee due to the charge back.

If it happens enough, banks will stop doing business with them...

I'm starting to think these gil sellers are part of a bigger criminal circle if they have access to such a large number of stolen cards. How are law enforcement not taking action is beyond me. SE being a japanese company are probably used to being ruled by a criminal organization like the Yakuza so it might play into why they ignore bots.
