Corrupt Gamemasters: The case <I should read the Forum rules> OUTLAND.
There is a player called "<I should read the Forum rules>" he is online around 20 hours a day and he keeps undercutting people on gem prices with a botting program.
He has been reported many times, I even once uploaded a video on to youtube and attached it to my Ticket but nothing ever happens. It seems he is either
a gm or a friend of a game master, and thats why he is never banned.
Same goes for the player <I should read the Forum rules>, which admitted to me, that he has over 120k gold, 4,000 dusts, and 2,300 shards just by scamming people.
He told me he cannot get a ban, because the gamemasters are his friends.
I think it is quite annoying, that some people are allowed to scam and use bots, but we normal players get instant perm bans for it.
It's hard to prove that someone is botting at auction house. Posting auctions can be done with just addons, which is not botting, as long as the player keeps the character from getting logged out after 30 minutes of inactivity. And a GM is not going stay there for 20 hours.

Did you screenshot and report it? Rules are the same for everyone but if nobody reports him with proper evidence, he is not going to get banned. If you think a GM is doing something wrong, you can send a private message on forum to head GM Aldtharios.
<I should read the Forum rules> is flagged as afk, but still performs the exact same movements: take down the gem, that is being undercut, go to mail (always exactly the same path and always "afk"), go to auctioneer and post the gems with -1copper. Noone can tell me, that this is not botting.
A player can manually flag himself as afk. That doesn't change anything. If you can prove that it's always the same path or that it happens at regular intervals, record it and report it.
Reporting players without any solid proof will not get them banned, we obviously can't just take someones word for it. And even if the things you mentioned in your post are true, this is not a way to handle them properly. Send a private message to head Game Master here on forum, so he can investigate the issue.
