I don't understand the first question, but I'll answer the second.

There are pretty much two reasons:

i) They buy silk, and a lot of it. Joymax is afraid that if they ban bots who buy silk, it's a lost profit.

ii) JM can't ban EVERY bot, there's just to many. Unless they get their act together and make gameguard actually DO something then there's no way to catch them all. Blocking third party programs from interfering with Silkroad is EASY, I know thousands of other games that do it.

1]Joymax can find them.
2]Because they have stopped botting and the GMs are very inactive.

We all know that JM won't do anything about the bots until they fidn a way to keep the money coming in even after they ban all those accounts. And another thing is that if you ban an account, they can still come back. It's as easy as changing your ip address and making a new profile. I used to bot, so I should know, since then I've gone legit, it just so much more fun when you actually get to a new lvl or find that awesome weapon you've been lookng for than finding oh, my bot found it, great. . .what now??? lol :D

1. They can't. They don't have the program to do so.

2. When pacific opened most of the botters really bot hard. 24/7 and after 2 months they're all lvl 80. No more botting for them so JM will not ban them.
