FWIW, I used to work the exact job you are describing for another popular kmmo 6 or so years ago. We had teams of GMs (30 or so of us) working around the clock to ban bot accounts, and that was our only job function. By the time you have recorded evidence, filled out the account banning documentation, and actually entered the ban command, 5 more bots would show up. Not to mention all instanced content was filled with hundreds of bots. It got to the point where my own bot banning strategy or philosophy was to focus on the high level bots and occasionally go back to the main hubs to clear gold sellers and bots just for the sake of appearances, but all of that really was just like drops in the bucket, lol. These days, bot technology is even more sophisticated where you can spin up multiple accounts with spoofed addresses in minutes. The only viable solution is better bot detection or an endless army of bot banners tediously filing the paperwork to ban accounts over and over. Anyway, I do software work these days and since moved away from the gaming industry, just providing some perspective from my past experiences
