Is there a fast track to banning serious offenders?

Ectar:   Detection isn't always as easy as people like to think it is. Along with detection there needs to be something in place to track and potentially prevent depending on how things work. It's an ongoing thing that almost every game with a progression structure faces. It's not like once we stop something that botters just give up (well they might, but the people who create the software don't). They just try again to get around preventions put in place. I know everyone likes to think they have the answers but if it really was that simple it would already be in place.   We don't embrace cheating, if a player is caught cheating they're punished.  Sadly we don't use XVM or WN8 formula's as fool proof systems of catching botters/afk players. There is an anti afk system in-game which you should be aware of, if you read the forums frequently there is topics with players regularly panicking about being given a warning for being afk for whatever various reason they had.   A trial by player/community is never really a good idea, especially when you don't have all the data available to you to make that call. In the player's eyes for something like this especially someone is always immediately guilty unless proven innocent. Lets be clear here, cheating or cheesing the systems of any game game is something I hate. Sadly there will always be players who bend and break the rules and it's an ongoing battle to stamp it out. We're not going to name and shame players when that's something we discourage our own community for doing.  when it comes to quoting amounts of players vs just saying "We are actively banning players caught cheating" still gives the same result as you still have to take our word for it. If you don't believe us saying we're taking action, publishing a number of how many are banned each month isn't going to change that point of view.
