Since a lot of People seem to be confused what the bots are doing in this clip. They're using the Tree as cover to fly-hack upwards and then over to SFK, where they noclip under the terrain and loot chests to then vendor the items looted for profit. Rinse and Repeat.

Every single reddit/forum post has these supposed EXPERTS that work in tech Industry/game design for 10+ years telling others that "identifying and banking bots is very, very difficult. You would need TONS of manpower, programming hours, GMs. Very expensive. Practically impossible. Bots are very sophisticated now." Every post. Some version of this.

Now you wanna let them get away with farming you like a sheep and then having to thank them ? Thats fine, shows some deep irl problems, but fine.
