Measures to counter botting

I'm still convinced that the most effective way to counter bots is educate players to play fair and don't buy "services" from rmt.

The actual most effective thing to do would be regularly and consistently punish people for getting involved in RMT or cheating.

People do it because there's little to no risk of being banned due to SE either not caring or having extremely limited methods of tracking violating players.

I understand. Is this strong feeling of not being caught, more damaging than the act of rmt itself ?
