Correct, I have not yet tried killing bots so my guess may be off.
Compared to killing a non-bot, how is killing a bot different? I would guess ‘faster response, more predictable, less adaptable’, which means that it should be easier to kill a bot provided you can catch one. Am I wrong?
Anyway, my suggestion doesn’t have much to do with bots. You can still hunt them solo after days of afk cloaking. And in my opinion reporting bots is more useful than killing them.
