You know the saying, "When there is a will, there is a way". Stopping one botting program won't do anything, IMO. Another one will appear. When there is real $ to be made, someone will figure it out. Maybe the strategy they use will change or the items they sell, but they will adapt.

Perhaps they will just farm the AH. This would drive prices up. If you can corner the market you can dictate the price. I wonder what would happen if you bought every auction for a demanded item for two weeks non-stop and relisted it at 50% higher every time. Farmers run 24/7 so it's feasible. Now, would this result in a ban before you actually made any money?? Maybe.
