Ah, gotcha, so the annoyance of RMT spam and a compromise of the game's aesthetic fidelity due to characters half-submerged in walls. I've always just been mildly amused every time I find a bot hive so I hadn't thought to consider it negative, nor had I thought to relate their presence to the actual spam present in cities — though now that you mention it, in hindsight it seems obvious that there's a direct connection between the two. Thanks for helping me see where you're coming from. And I hope the situation on your server improves.
