Why NA is the reason for the bot problem

[Devinator00]

If you think about it, NCSoft has done everything they can to combat the bot problem, but the real reason why gold bots continue to come back is not because NCSoft is messing up it's because people in NA are BUYING GOLD! *GASP!*. Think about it, if everyone in NA would just stop buying gold from these gold farmers we wouldn't have a bot problem. They would realize there is no money to be made in BnS and would move onto another game. But because players in NA continue to purchase gold from these people they continue to plague the servers and hog up resources. So don't blame NCSoft for the bots, blame the people in NA who are buying gold from them. Thank you.

I'm not so sure about that.  I recently loaded up Diablo 2 for some mindless dungeon crawling and noticed that the bnet server is still inundated with bots 16 years after the game released.  Who in their right mind is paying real money for items in a game that old?
