    Such is the hallmark of a dying MMO.
    1. Paid-subscription game has bots (unavoidable)
    2. "I guess we don't have to ban all the bots since they pay subs" (greed is the deadliest sin)
    3. Dev misstep or game age causes real player population to shrink (suddenly or over time), bots become a larger portion of playerbase
    4. Bot numbers grow as there are less players to compete with/report for botting
    5. "We can't ban the bots or the in-game economy would die" <- You are here
    6. Whales begin to leave for bluer pastures in the wake of high bot-to-player ratio (point of no return)
    7. Bot populations vanish overnight as there is no point in botting a dead game with no whales, sub numbers crater
    8. "We have made the difficult decision to stop development"
