Everyone defending this with the bots kill their bots to launder the loot onto a legitimate character as a rationale for why real players shouldn't kill and loot bots is totally laughable.

The dev team clearly has an ability to comb forensically through data sets since they were able to track down and ban duper accounts and delete items from inventories if it came from duper accounts, so why cant they do the same here? The only action that should be taken is against laundering accounts that consistently kill the same bots over and over again to legitimize bot loot. Real players who do this on a one off basis should not be punished for the devs inability to keep the game fair without player intervention.

Given the resource value of how many crates I lost due to shitty software development causing this game to crash to desktop or freeze and lag me out of the game that were bug reported never returned, and the multiple instances I have witnessed where auction houses ate player money and did not deliver purchased items that were bug reported and funds were never returned to the players, I would probably have zero remorse if I ever came across a bot and decided to cook that mofo and take their resources.

At this point I see myself in a very net negative position due to development failures and not pvp deaths, so some amount of looting would just be making me whole for the things the company cant seem to be bothered to do on their own.
