I disagree. It's as easy as following through with a report and suspending accounts guilty of bot behavior. It's as simple as a GM monitoring a character and seeing that they are doing actions 24/7 with no rest.. Its as easy as seeing a character undercutting everyone on the MB with over 40 retainers, within 20 minutes of a price change.

Its not hard. It doesn't require some sweeping change in the game's code, or a fundamental change in how the game is played. It only requires a minimal amount of attention to be placed on the issue.
