Just like with everything else, until we force their hand nothing will change. Of course, such unified effort is unheard of, so it is what it is.
That surely could be true, yes.

Anyway, I prefer to believe. I've seen some "old" MMOs dying for not solving this kind of problem properly. And since we have so many fans of this franchise and so many players around the world in this game, it would be horrible to see this game dying at the hands of bot companies.

I want to believe that if we don't feed their bellies by buying their damn currency, maybe - just maybe - their effort to stay in the game will slow down a little (if people don't applaud the clown, the show is over). I know people are different and honesty doesn't always have the same value in people's minds. Some will take the easiest way out, no matter if the act is considered a shame to others. I know I know...

But maybe we can at least convince the regular, initial and even the "naive" player on this subject not to fall for this crap and show them the real problem of bots and this industry.

Yeah, call me a dreamer, but yeah... I'll still believing
