It takes too long to review reports, bots continue their activities for weeks or months.
It will be more effective if Blizzard employees themselves periodically visit the bot feeders and ban them immediately.

a good way to deal with bots that fly is with the all seers eye
wait till they are high enough pop the special button it and watch them splat.

The other day I just pulled in more mobs than the bots could handle. Their AoE pulled the threat off me and I just sat there and watched them die.

One thing I will never forget, while I was playing Everquest Online Adventures.
That game was full of bots, and AFK levelers.
One night, a few of my friends and I, were out leveling.
A GM character came walking up to us and started chatting.
He gave us each a stack of special food that was not available in game.
He then said “Wow, there sure are a lot of bots and AFK levelers
out here. Inst there?”. We said “Yes, they are here every night”.
He says “Hmmm, well look around now. None of them are out here now”.
We looked, and every single one of them were gone.
He told us that as a GM, he patrols areas and has a ability to
transport any number of characters to anywhere he wishes.
He told us to go to the town Highpass, and they will all be there
standing around.

This is what we are talking about. The personal presence of GMs in the game is required. While it takes a weeks to review the report, the game takes a few minutes to understand that the character is a bot.

They still wouldn’t ban them immediately. This idea would only cut out the player reporting part, they’d still have to do everything else they would do anyways. Unlike players Blizz doesn’t rely on eyeballing characters to see if they are bots

There are bots in almost all places where you can get gold. Very often I see them in the gorilla gorge for example

It was more fun to train the zone on them. Bard ftw!

I tried that zone but never got enough maybe I’m doing something wrong.
Once I also played some game, there was also a problem with bots. After the Game Master personally began checking the locations, the number of bots became much smaller.
I think I easily reported like few thousands bots in the last week or so, one time I passed two hours reporting all the bots going into Botanica and now I keep receiving mail in game of Blizzard saying “Thanks for Reporting” none stop.

one way to tell 104 dhs with no looms and a second stage flight lvl follow them they fly in the same paths
and i use the all seers eye and force them off the mounts. to their deaths

It’s actually a pretty boring and monotonous way to get gold if you’re a human, but for bots, it’s a gold mine.
