It's not as if you can get banned for not talking to people.
Bots tend to do things really mechanically. A granite mining botter dropped his granite about a whole minute after his inventory was full, and before then, kept moving from granite rock to granite rock with his inventory full.

OMG I GOT LURED WITH D CLAWS GIMME IT BACK
BOTS ARE RUINING THE GAME! DO SOMETHING!
