Bots have been around since mmos came over on the Mayflower. They are hard to kill. You get rid of one and two more take their place. You'd think after all this time that gaming companies would have invented a way to rid mmos from botting. Like those nonsense names they come up with "Pejdhsa Jagfdos", for example, just a bunch of jumble letters. I wonder why they can't filter nonsense names and prevent them from creating an account. I'd for one, would much rather report a no nonsense name. Easier to type.

The thing is, is that there is not enough monitoring in real time, in game. It's like SE relies solely on us to report stuff like this. I'm sure they get tons of reports everyday too. Yet the task force doesn't seem to have the means to keep up with that many reports on RMT activity and botting. When they do show how many accounts were banned each Thursday and we keep seeing the same name over the bots heads week after, week, it makes you wonder if the task force is a one man show.

The old days have gone where a "live" GM shows up and bans them for cheating and botting on the spot as soon as they see the report come through. I don't think SE even allots the man power to keep up with them. Therefore we can only expect to see swarms of bots in game, sadly.
