Would you report another botter?

I am posting this because in the past two weeks I encountered the following problem.
I am not sure if my approach is correct that's why I am looking for other people to share their opinion on this matter.
I own several botting accounts, and often in the past two weeks , I received whispers from other players "BOT BOT BOT" "are you botting?" "reported" and all the usual crap.
I supervise my accounts close to 100%, we are two people monitoring the accounts almost 100% of the time. I always reply to whispers manually, and engage in conversations if needed.
Now the problem:

After a bit of research, all these reporters are BOTTERS themselves, I mean its so obvious and clear that they are botting aswell and trying to ruin the competition... They have caracters with 2 gathering proffesions, 1k achievements (in best cases), recently dinged chars (not more then 4-5 months), usually pvp geared 70% at least and so on. There are so many "triggers" to detect them, and when u combine all its more then obvious. When u also receive messages like "dude, its clear you use click to move, like **** bot" . Well come on... how stupid can u be to say that. Its obvious you have been using these kinda programs yourself. And you are a botter also...
Of course most accounts got banned via direct GM bans *not the usual economy bans* because they start to investigate manually the reports. The ban came on one acc that was botting for max 10 days, always supervised and botting ~14h / day with 2 or 3 breaks in this time.
Now my question for you is: Should I also report these guys or shouldnt I ?
At this point I am 90% for reporting them (I have their char names saved, I had a "hunch" that this will turn bad. So what do u guys think , should I spare them or should I return them the "favour" ?
I am pretty sure, most of the people who do such things are also reading this forum. So for all you **** who report us and are botting yourself, all I have to say is that I will be returning the service.
So next time u report a botter , when YOU are also botting , think twice, because it might be your ass on the line next. We are not stupid!

And to clear all things, I never report other botters, even if I see one going on almost the same path as me.
BUT! if you whisper me and you tell me basically that you bot also and that you will report me, I WILL turn back the favour. I am saving all logs, and whenever I get banned because of another botter, I will report that person myself, and I wont do one ticket, I will do a dozen from different accounts, to be sure you will get the same treatment.

I guess this is revenge, might be stupid or not, but I feel like someone needs to post this. It might aswell be me, please dont get offended by the thread.
I want to report these persons (2) who also reported me. Do you think I will be doing the right thing?

P.S. at this time, when I am writing the ticket, I havent reported anyone yet. I just want to see how the community feels about this issue.

 

? Reporting or threatening to report botters.

i would never report another botter but only if i see a another botter harrashing me im doing things back he should leave you alone because he is doing the same as you but to the awnser no i would never report one if i see no one is harrashing me because the most people that reports ingame they are botters to on another account and playing on main.

 

You are never told who reports you. Most of the time the people that actually do report don't say anything to you, they just add your name to a list of names they suspect as botting and move about their day. If someone is harassing you, report them. It can make you seem like a more legit player. You don't have to respond to someone who accuses you of botting.

 

Didn't read the topic, but my answer is NO.

 

Wouldn't bother reporting even if I'm not botting. I just don't care what anyone else is doing and play the game for my enjoyment. I also believe if I'm botting and report another botter for botting, what are the chances they investigate my account and what I'm doing?

 

I most definitely believe in an eye for an eye. If these guys are going to threaten and harass you, I would make a ticket reporting them.
