Easy peasy.īot operators would be left with attempting to hide their tracks through pure complexity, for example, randomly sending gold to random players, constantly, which would theoretically make it difficult to differentiate between false leads and actual transactions. Bot A is either making transactions with more bots which will lead to more bots, all to be banned, or players to be disciplined. If Bot A is revealed as a bot, trace every transaction Bot A has made. You don't even have to have advanced algorithms to attempt to discover fraudulent or suspicious transactions.

Every single person you've traded with, every single person you've bought from or sold to via the marketplace. If they setup the infrastructure, they can track every single transaction. You can't destroy this chain because people don't buy gold with their main accounts, also it is harder to track gold sellers than bots because you know the gold sellers can always abuse the market place or even just by pure trading a few random items for money, then again they can just give it since they can always argue that the person who gave me the money is a irl friend lol. About the 24 man dungeons u can even put a capcha for entering it also I sincerely doubt people will get annoyed for inputing a 4 digit random code just for removing bots so long as they don't ruin the smoothness of combat that is.Īnd u can also make it so that the capcha won't expire due to time limit all it will happen is the character gets freezes in the place unable to do anything, so that people won't get kicked from the server for going to toilet or w.e needed to be done during that afk period. Well plain simple when you try to wear a uniform u get a capcha to appear XDĪnd speaking of this you might as well capcha when people enters cross server, arena and even party finder. I know some might say what about open world pvp uniforms like nobody wants to strike someone who just goes invulnerable why they just threw a long cd cc skill at. I mean capcha has always been a good way to deal with bots and if you implement it properly it also won't ruin game play for most players. This capcha appearance must not be purely time based as that will allow not script to change in advance, and if the capcha is supposed to appear but the person is in arena or in dungeon or in combat with a boss then postpone it until the fight is over. Well I know it is extremely difficult to remove bots from any free to play games as then ipblock account bans all fail to succeed.īut what if once every half hour or so you will get a random number which u have to enter so as to prove you are not a bot, and when this capcha thing appears your character will become invulnerable, untargetable and unable to perform any action.
