I recently read a thread about how Anet could track people who where boting and then ban them. Im currently doing ascension and am at Elona Reach. It seems pretty damn obvious who is using a bot. 50+ M/W that follow the exact same path everytime and ever 5 mins reapear run to merchant then disappear again. I can understand a few people slipping past notice but if you have that many people doing it why is nothing be done to them? I cant have been the only person to ever spot them because everytime i go to that mission the only discussion is about the bots. Are Anet just letting this happen or is there just so many cheats/scammers/botters that they havent got round to these guys yet?

They arent bots I dont think for the most part, just 55 farmers...
I farm there on occaision as its easy and you can get a few gold very quickly. You'll never get rich doing it though and its never going to ruin the economy, so why would Anet care? If folks play there a lot, they are playing snd supporting Anet...

Im sure people do farm there. But some of them are obviousely not. Since when do farmers take the exact same route to the edge of the cliff then to the hill then to the merchant instead of just going to the merchant? When you get 50 guys following the same path surely its time to be suspicious.
