Somebody send me that info please, I'd love to cross check it against stuff I've been involved with. I don't use discord (ironically I consider it cheating).
I just thinking crazy thinking here, would it not be alot easier to just permaban anyone doing any BGS work, as we can clearly narrow down their activities to be bot-like at times.and as we have heard, bots are ruining the game, so punish and erase anything that looks like a bot.
on a more serious note, why is it so had post the evidence here? you are very unlikely to encounter these in the open, becuase in open, other players can mess around with them so that is just another source of complication... so it is most logical that bots will be using solo or private groups,. and by evidence of other threads, solo and private groups should be much more "safer"... so what is the proof? some random dude saying so in a chat? some unexplained changes that do not fit your model of what you did that did not give the desired outcome?
Since there is no log avaialable to use what another player did, everything is just based on speculation and of what players are doing, we do not even know which players have visited a specific system, unless they are the top 5 criminals... so all that data would for the most part already be anonymized so no naming and shaming going on, so I do not understand the big trouble to produce this evidence of a widespread issue of botting... and if the evidence as so clear that it can actually pinpoint a single player, the obvious solution should be to REPORT that player, and if Frontier have recieved a report for that player, looked into it and did nothing, there are two obvious conclusions we think of
1. Frontier do not really care and goes nah, we are to busy playing with Odyssey, so we cant be bothered dealing with this at this moment.
2. Seems perfectly fine, just another dedicated player doing their thing...
