I’m not sure if this has been suggested before or not but here is my 2 cents worth. While you guys seem to have the majority of the botters taken care of the biggest issue I’m still seeing is the Teleporters. And they are VERY hard to catch. Having to click on their toon and then choose report is very hard . It’s a combination technique that can be very tricky and too many clicks. Let’s make it shorter. A very simple Key Combination to use for bringing up the report dialog. While I could use a 3rd party Macro application to do this function for me, I do not. I’m still a little vague on the EULA agreement on such an application for that option.

But regardless if we could just use the option ex. Click on a Character and then hit CTRL R then that would bring up the report dialog box with just 1 click and 2 simple button presses. Instead of having to go through the tedious clicking method. I don’t know how many botters have escaped my grasp because I have to constantly click click scroll click and hope I get them within the 3 strikes of the mining pick and then they teleport away. I have had it happen 1 too many times. If I could get the ability to CTRL R them after clicking on them it would be 1 step faster to getting rid of them. The teleporters are very hard to catch. And you have to know when and where to look for them. I have lost count like so many others on the teleporting bots as to myself reporting them. Countless botters on Ehmry Bay. And it seems like the major majority of them are teleporters. And if you aren’t fast enough to do all the clicking you lose the ability to report them because they don’t stand around waiting for you to report them. And if you don’t get to that report action fast enough you don’t get the option to report them because the option to report them disappears.

So anyways, just my 2 Cents worth on a quicker response time for reporting them.

Click on the toon to be Reported for botting. CTRL R to bring up the dialog. Report. Simple and easy instead of all the clicking.

I think another fix could be that once selected they stay selected so you can report them at your leisure, even if they disappear. Maybe use shift tab to select the nearest friendly though tab’s success at selecting the nearest enemy may mean that wont work.
But as an idea, as you approach a node if someone teleports in shift-tab to select them then report them even if they have gone.

Another idea would be to fix the node locations for a while and write in code to monitor them for teleporters.

I agree, it would be nice if something could be done to ease the bot reporting mechanism. Probably 75% of the bots I see these days get away because I’m too slow to get them in time before they teleport/vanish away.
