I understand the concern from players surrounding this, and we’ll watch for feedback once this rolls out. However, it is important to remember that as we make changes to push bots out of the game, the reason that bots are being run so heavily in the game is because they are profitable for the bot farmers, especially in the way of RMT. When botting is no longer profitable, farmers will not want to continue to expend resources on botting. It’s been a long road, but we want to make sure we are being as effective as possible and that we don’t only remove bots from the game, but that we make sure they have no reason to come back. Once there is a handle on this issue, we can always revisit some of these tactics.
