This is not witch hunting. As you can see from my original post, I am using these bots as the measurement. I report as many as I could. These samples bots have indicative measurement factors.
Posting account names publicly, even if they’re bots, and looking for punishment on them is witch hunting lol
I just don’t wanna see people get banned for trying to help solve the stupid ass bot problem lol
if SG/AGS deemed that this post was malicious and/or a detriment to the community, I think they would have taken action already. It’s been almost two weeks. But, thank you for adding a counter to what the objective of this thread is about.
Can’t get banned when the bots get banned if they never ban the bots.
Lol they’d have taken care of these bots if they’d noticed it yet 
I’ve just seen people be banned unfairly in other games for this same thing. I would very much agree that the problem is extreme enough that it shouldn’t be considered witch-hunting (especially cause that involves a person as the target lol) but you never know what some power tripping dude with the power to ban people is gonna do (except we know they’re not banning these obvious bots yet Jesus)
This thread is not blaming or pointing fingers at the mods here by any means. I’m glad to have the mods that we have for this forum. I think they are as fair as they can be. This thread is an attempt to hopefully have the team that works on the bot issue being aware and kept abreast on the current situation. But, it is also for the community to be aware of how long the process takes.
i came to the forums today, to specifically check this thread…
day 13? come on amazon, is this a joke?
last time i tagged @Roxx in this thread my post was deleted, we’ll try again. maybe she can let us know when is something going to be done about this stuff?

DAY 14 - [Azena Server > Rohendel > Glass Lotus Lake > Sanctum of Water Area]
Second day that the sorceresses are not there! Maybe they were banned? Give it a few more days. 
Otherwise, the original Artillerist bots are still there; The ones that started this whole thread.
Thanks for these reports, we are working to remove bots in waves and continue to improve tooling to remove them at scale. This will be an ongoing effort and no one solution will solve it at scale, but it is a priority for the team and we’ll keep working to address the bot problem.

Thanks for the reply, @Seawolf. Glad to hear that the team that is working on this is taking actionables! I was really losing hope in that SG/AGS was trying to do a hands-off approach.

DAY 15 - [Azena Server > Rohendel > Glass Lotus Lake > Sanctum of Water Area]
It looks like the Sorceresses MIGHT have been banned. Will give it a couple more days. But in the meantime, the original reported bots are still there along with new bots that the owner created.
The older bots in the pic seems like they died at some point or the channel was reset because they are just standing on the bridge to Sanctum of Water currently while auto using skills.
The new bots are ilvl 400 or so versus the old bots that are 800-1000+ ilvl. They’re even wearing the gifted skins…
Since there are no deterrents and lag of time to get banned, bot owners probably do not feel threatened and will just make new accounts (as you can see here) when current bots get banned. 
DAY 16 - [Azena Server > Rohendel > Glass Lotus Lake > Sanctum of Water Area]
I hope the ban wave hits the bots that are doing higher tier contents soon. These bots should be in one of those ban waves, hopefully… Same bots from the start.
But it looks like the sorceresses and the named artillerist are no longer there…or they just moved to somewhere else because their ilvl were 1000+. I’m going to say actions were taken by SG/AGS on day 14. Keeping it positive!
DAY 17 - [Azena Server > Rohendel > Glass Lotus Lake > Sanctum of Water Area]
Same bots. Reported as usual. The new bots SS earlier seems to no longer to be there. If they were banned, that is really odd since they were only saw them for a day or so. Otherwise, seems like the Sorceresses and the named Artillerist are not back…hopefully never coming back.

Good job for doing that… I was also amazed to see bots reaching areas that took me quite some work and even honing and instance-running to get into.
There seems to be a very naive algorithm AGS uses to track them down, and these people disrupt it by being more player-like I suppose… The whole costume reclamation, guild joining, instance-running. They’re a different level of bots, and since the scope is most likely towards sorceress and berserker, these ones are roaming free.
I’ve also seen the same thing at Tortoyk with multiple artillerists with the same names in multiple occurrences.
Appreciate your dedication to this. Thank you!
DAY 18 - [Azena Server > Rohendel > Glass Lotus Lake > Sanctum of Water Area]
Same bots. With how long the banning wave takes, the bot owner has gotten his/her Sorceress replacements at the spot now.
These are the Sorceress (and some Artillerists) replacements all dressed up in gift skins. Take note that they are all non-generated names except maybe one.
DAY 19 - [Azena Server > Rohendel > Glass Lotus Lake > Sanctum of Water Area]
Old and new bots. The bot in the guild is still there. I really thought the ban wave hit them.
As you can see, the “Tablegirl” bot along with a few of his other older bots are supporting his new group of bots.

I don’t really have much more to say. This might be my last time reporting/logging. The game is no longer fun for me (which is sad). As for the bots, I have yet to see any major bot bans waves. There are other bots that I report alongside these that are also STILL in the game with just the same length or LONGER time frame. These bots pics being logged here were just a group sample. TWENTY days…this doesn’t really show the sincerity or seriousness concerning the bot issues by SG/AGS. Oh well.

What’s starting to kill things for me is the bots in the Chaos Dungeons in T3. I know I can run them by myself but I don’t want too. Something needs to be fixed asap.
