What can I say. I truly have been positive. However I don't know anymore if my positivity is enough. Truly, no newer development has happened and I think this is because they're focused on firstly keeping the value in the game.
As for the bots, you're right, it could have been banned clearer and maybe we wouldn't still be looking for ways to curb it's effect and the consequences it's has on the game. It's saddening.
Even a ban from simply a ToS perspective would have been a move in the right direction. Yes it can be harder to prove and enforce but having at least the right tone at the top in this area is a critical foundation step.
