Are there still even that much bots to go through this trouble of implementing a feature that's easily bypassed even by the most amateur of botters?

How about a number of Dimensional Door on every field?

Bots can read that info and just not walk into it

In game methods are never a good idea IMO.

 

Because its pretending bots are different from us, when in essence, they play the same way we do. You try to mess up their gameplay, you'll always hit normal players at the same time.

 

If it has to happen somehow, it needs to be transparent to us. Well, beyond seeing them vanish anyway.

 

So, detection is pretty much the best choice or direct recon and enforcement.

 

But honestly, fighting human nature is a losing battle. When there is something to gain, people always find a way. Plus, the simplistic and predictable nature of this game makes it a perfect target for botting.

um, maybe

isolate suspected map,

log character ip address that access those map in 24 hour or a week

and profit ? 

 

 

since :

no sane / real player that farming 24/7 on strawberry/material map

no sane / real player that coming to spesific map for hours/day without feeling bored

How about an "Automated" GM to check bots? Kinda like Ragial... or no.

 

To be honest since the current method is just to teleport next to the player, put them to sleep/kill surrounding monsters and pm them for a reply, it probably could be automated with a bot gm.

 

Kind of like employing ethical hackers to thwart malicious hackers.

Isn't it the rage nowadays? You got Ichigo of Bleach, Clare of Claymore, Eren of Attack on Titan, Shinichi of Parasyte, etc. xD
