I know what they do, the difference is that nowadays they don't disrupt the game as much as they did in 2005-2006, when they were really fucking annoying, e.g. in felwood when you wanted to get a bunch of Felcloth, the satyrs were camped by these bots, same for Silithus in several spots.You seem to not understand what most of the botters are. They aren't the people using combat routines. They buy a bunch of battle chests when they are on sale and bot the characters up while on the free month and liquidate all the gold and sell it. Monthly ban waves aren't going to stop them. They usually get banned before the month is up from getting flagged in the system for playing 24/7. The only way to eliminate them right away is to actually hire people to watch the game with the GM tools. This is the first time they have detected HonorBuddy and it was only for a period for little over a week. They have the resources to stop it, they just aren't willing to spend the money to do it.
They could kick them all out, it'd be bad for business, so they don't take action very often, as long as they don't ruin other players' experience.
