Botting, and its impact on the community
You answer your own question OP.
The reason why people are not interested in reporting bots is because they have tried reporting them in the past, but the same bots are still there five days later.
Did we really need another post about this?
Those who believe that their reports are useless haven’t stuck around to see most bots disappear within a day or 2 at most. A single report does indeed matter.
What we can do while waiting for anti-bot code to be finished and deployed, is to remain constructive and supportive as a community. The problem will be solved, and I don’t believe we should be making a big deal out of it (read: sending a massive article to news sites) just yet.
Solving this issue is very important to the game, and subsequently peoples’ jobs. It’ll get corrected as soon as possible, hang in there!

The best thing players can do is continue to report every incident of suspected botting behavior they witness using the in-game ticketing system. Thanks for the continued reports and everyone’s patience. It’s greatly appreciated!
