“Let these dudes bot” is more than a little misleading. We don’t “Let” people bot, anymore than law enforcement lets people commit crime. We do what we can to curb the behavior, both in preventative measures as well as reactive penalties.
Again, we’ve love to remove 100% of the bots, or better yet prevent them entirely, but it is far more easy to say than do. These folks aren’t slouches, they are clever and their only goal is to go undetected. Asking players to use the right click report option to report these characters might seem like a placebo, but the reports folks make do a lot to help our teams with their investigations. The more people use it, the better, as it helps to collect data which is used on those investigations.
I think we’ve covered pretty much everything we can so I’m going to lock this one up. Thanks, all!
