I guess what I mean to say is that there are five types of players in this game at the moment: currency farmers, afk farmers, currency spammers, botters, and actual players.
Currency farmers and botters are difficult to distinguish from one another because currency farmers are essentially human bots. These individuals are likely paid $10-20 per week to farm currency (many of these people reside in China). They won’t respond to anyone and they’ll likely always roll a priest class so they can just auto-attack while being buffed. Bots on the other hand can function in multiple ways: there are bots that follow predetermined routes (I literally mean an unchanging route or circle path), and there are some that are primitive and repeat certain directional movements within a small area (bridging the gap between afk farmers and botters).
I’ve seen many priests with the same equipment on the same maps that only auto-attack and buff themselves for several hours at a time, but most of them are not bots. I’ve also encountered actual bots that were also priests that followed a set path (not randomly wandering a map). The players I’ve reported of the latter type have always shown up in the daily banned threads.
If you don’t mind me asking, what behavior have you observed in these players that sets them apart from the definition of currency farmer I mentioned above? I’m not saying I don’t believe you, but there is a reason that IMC cannot ban certain “suspicious” accounts, and the fact that these players haven’t been banned yet leads me to believe that they’re likely people providing cheap labor to currency sellers.
