The amount of bots teleporting around is absolutely unbelievable

Oooh, I see.
Thank you very much.

I've heard that if you try and trade with bots it'll lock them up?
Should I try this to try and mess with them?

I'd suggest against it strictly because some players are actively monitoring their bots while they're running and pestering them like that gives them an easy excuse to report you.

One of the most popular scripts is programmed to just toggle DND mode if someone trades with them, so you can't actually interfere with them anyways.

When i was still fresh to the game and very naive(it was 2014 i think) i reported and blacklisted every RMT i see. Over the years i saw many notes about bans. But guess what? All those fifty RMT in my blacklist are still present. All of them.

SE does not actually delete banned accounts as far as I can tell.

This has the unfortunate side effect of making it so the RMT spam bots that are using generated names as opposed to random keyboard mash are still hogging several names that could've belonged to actual players.

I can be reported for starting and a trade with someone?
Even if I cancel it?
What?

If you did it just once, then it probably wouldn't be an issue since it could just be dismissed as an accident.

Any more then that and it likely could be reported under "disrupting gameplay".
