They did. Huge ban wave and whole blocks of IPs. Bots were back same day and have caught back up to the main population. Unfortunately they tend to farm quest mobs and in some places it is so bad you will have to fight 6-7 bots for 3-4 quest mobs eventually preventing human players from ever completing the quest. In Aion you can't tag mobs, the person that does the largest percentage of damage gets looting rights and kill credit.

I can't prove it, but I'm also guessing that the botters/gold farmers are the reason that the AH prices hover about 0.5% above vendor value. Everything is expensive in Aion when you buy it from an NPC, so when the markets for rare drops becomes so low, legit players can't afford most things beyond necessity.

I report the bots every time I see them, but after 2-3 days I begin to wonder if it even matters. *shrug*
