[2022] Stop nerfing Gold because of Bots - it doesn't help

Couple things going into play here that I want to talk about.

Removing gold rewards absolutely isn’t the entire solution, that much is correct. However, it is a blocker we can put in place for now to make bots less effective while we work to tackle this problem at scale.

The quests that were selected here were a number of early world and stronghold quests; these are quests that we tracked as being highly accessible to the new bots that can be quickly generated, and that many active players have already completed (which means that while it will affect new players, the impacts on active players is lower and not retroactive).

Botting over the last few weeks has spiked, which is no secret to anyone. While we’re working on newer and bigger solutions, we’re going to do what we can in the interim to slow them down as much as possible.
