Eureka: Mods delete the post showing bot owner admitting to botting

[Denji]

i mean as hilarious as it was it also showed us how to murder the bot players which can also be used to just... murder innocent players if you wanted to troll which, y'know, is also against the rules.

waiting for things to escalate and people start sending tells, and random invites to the bots, hits the wrong person and gets banned for harassment :V

That's exactly what i did see not so long ago on reddit. In the middle of the veryyyyyyyyy long post complaining of having being unjustly banned, the only relevant lines were the method he used to "detect" bots : sending them private messages, group invites and trade requests. If i am in the middle of a boss fate fight, busy doing my rotation, i don't think i would be pleased that some self-proclamed hero of justice start sending me "hey, are you here ?" and "if you don't answer in five seconds i am reporting you for boting !" mps, before trying to trade me repeatedly.

One person botting on ten accounts brings in more profit than any one of us.

But what if this guy makes dozens of other players stop the game because they can't stand to see bots anymore ? Wouldn't that bring more money to ban all the boter accounts ?

Too many whiteknights and whales around for any sort of bot or boycot to have an effect on SE's treatment of the playerbase

but still dont ban the bots.

The devs/mods of this game protect botters more than their actual playerbase.

Deleting a topic is a lowhanging fruit. Banning botusers is more difficult.

But they should seriously go after the customers of the RMT services and ban them. Without customers, it dies very quickly.

I am the terror that flaps in the night!
I am the fly in your ointment!
LET'S GET DANGEROUS!

I went to Walmart and the guy at the McDonalds was cooking burgers while my car needed work to be done on it.

In companies, people have their own job. The guys deleting posts on the forums (for clear rules violations) aren't doing that INSTEAD of going in and banned bots, fixing job balance, fixing code bugs, etc.
