Yeh this really sux, i don't think ill ever bot on my main again, as for the bots they are always replaceable so i will start farming on them again in a week or so, hopefully a month of bans will be enough for them bastards and they'll stop for a breather.
Although it does seem like this isn't a normal ban wave, its a consistent weekly banning of all found bots, which does lead you to think they have a tool or something that allows them to auto-detect botting behaviors and send out the bans. There is no way this is an army of people working through logs etc, its almost 100% guaranteed this is an automated process it would be too costly and time consuming not to be.
