[2023] Bot currency problem. Does ashes have a solution or will economy be fucked in two weeks after waiting years.

Bots are gonna be there, day 1. Probably in alpha 2 prepping for retail release. Does ashes have an answer beyond reporting and blind bans?

This is the single greatest factor for me when playing an MMO. When the economy is f*cked, it makes it extremely hard to want to play.

Certain games have taken unique ways to prevent bots from ruining the game.

FFXIV, gil is mostly useless. You can buy gear buts it's not the best, or you can buy housing stuff. But it mostly works at lowering bots and sellers/buyers.

In lost ark the money is pretty weird. There tried doing some janky stuff but I believe it failed with extra steps as people still pay to win.

New world has the economy in shambles on launch. People duplicating money, and lots more scummy things, like creating characters and sending gold, etc. and the auction house completely f*cked itself deleting many peoples wealth with no hope of recovery(ie items were reverted back but they were lost to the void if the items were posted on the ah at the time)

Blizz literally does nothing about bots. There are some serious conspiracy theories about how "in bed" blizz is with bots.

The latest updates are all about the economy, and it is exciting, but I am just thinking bots are gonna ruin it. Camping resources, stacked caravans, spammed homesteads. Literally anything that could be exploited will be. We keep hearing perfect world scenarios but we all know people will do the scummiest things to get ahead. What are the systems in place to help reduce this? Laize faire economics? Strict ban policies? Actual people (ie game masters) investigating bot? Perhaps gold gain limitations?
