And when they do, why do they ignore people obviously botting, griefing, exploiting, etc?
I understand, personally I would prefer if they took a hard-line stance on the matter as well. You are not the first and only person to have their account(s) disabled as a result of botting, however it was my understanding that loftar typically only uses this when the bots are in some way impacting server stability whether it's through sheer numbers or a particular repetitive action. You should at least have your main character account(s) spared but my opinion has also somewhat softened over the years.
From what I've seen it doesn't appear like you deserved to have every account disabled (if that is indeed the case) and perhaps this only garnered any attention because you made it public in the first place. There's a reason why you don't hear about things like this happening very often, even though they do in fact happen, and it's because the people who create and utilize bots on a large scale don't advertise or show off their tasks and tools. Rather than loftar or jorb noticing at all what you were doing it is very possible some players simply reported this to them and for whatever reason they decided to do something about it.
I'm in agreement with you and I too would love to see them take appropriate measures towards the individuals that impact the game in a negative way when utilizing such tools to not only gain the upper hand but to then maintain and use that advantage when encountering others for the entire length of a world.
