It also eans 8 times the money for Anet they cant spend to help improve other areas of the games for us

Actually no, no they don't. Gaile has said herself that the boters mostly use stolen accounts. As others have pointed out they also use stolen credit cards as well. They also are charging more for the gold they sell. It is free to set up a Yahoo account. So given this information it is easy to imagine that they have the capability to run more bots to make up the difference. With all the banning how do you account for the continuous stream of bots? It is obviously extremely easy for the boters to acquire another account as soon as they are banned, so I don't see how it would be any different than running 8 at a time or for that mater 100.

Until people stop buying gold there will continue to be hordes of bots running around. Until the bots go away Anet will continue to screw up the game for the rest of us. So basically what you are saying is that you are screwing up the game for your self and blaming Anet for it.

I heard a rumour that GW Guru was creating their own bot that would automatically delete any post created on these boards about bots....... guess its not true

No no. See, what you and the other guy don't get is that I've given up on the game ever becoming better, and buy gold so that I can have all the things that I want and enjoy the shattered remnants of what use to be a good MMorpg, whilst everyone else has to toil and trouble even to make menial amounts of gold, all the while contributing to the destruction of the game (intentionally), because I don't believe Anet is capable of making good decisions with their own software.
