Where is the update? That's is just an empty message saying "We do not plan to work on reinstoring gateway anytime soon, so be quiet, patient, and in the meanwhile, keep using your credit cards to get zen !"

Getting specifics into the thought processes of the dev team in this regards would do a world of good.
Or bad, if the thought process is abjectly awful, but, I mean, better now than never I always say (except for when I'm procrastinating)
... because the statement, that they don't have seen any increase in botting ingame isn't really reassuring.
I see a lot more SNR, disconnects during logging through my characters and sometimes even game crashes since that change to The Gateway.
And i only have to step into Neverdeath Graveyard to see the bots running 24/7 through Ghost Stories, and nothing is happening against them.
There's nothing even hinting in the general direction, that any GMs are taking care of those bots.
And they can't find the bots ingame?
Really?

This main thing I spotted from that update is, if they have some kind of system that's reporting apparently accurate figures on how many bots are running:
There has been a significant amount of discussion regarding the Leadership function being taken out of the Gateway.
I am one of those who are against this decision. There must be other ways to control the AD production than rewarding the Hard-core gamers who sit on their computers all day, and punish those who have to work. I have access to a computer and so I can use the gateway during the day. It made life bearable trying to get my professions to level 20.
A simple solution to squash the auto bots, is to require a security code for every log-in & automatic disconnect of every hour. That way a person has to manually log-on each time to do anything, and the security code stops the auto-bots.
No system is perfect, but this is punishing the players, and not doing anything to those responsible.

why then are they not using that as the basis for simply retiring the bots and letting the rest of us play the game as intended?
Maybe.
and you then have to work something out with the support here.
