A captcha. For those who are familiar with the captcha system, we have that type of system in a majority of registering websites. It's a way to avoid bot users. What the captcha does is authenticate an account by generating random, so you have to be an human to give the correct 'captcha'. What I suggest every time you log-in you have to answer the captcha to be able to play (The staff can think of different business rules in this system). The captcha would consist of a field that you have to type correctly.
Business Rules examples:
For example, if the person doesn't put the correct captcha in atleast 1/2/3 minutes they get kicked from the server, 3/4/5 tries. The captcha can freeze the person in place till they answer it or not. The business rules can optimize whatever is best for the server. The captcha may or may not include numeric and upper case.
I stand strongly with this suggestion that it will be the end of majority of bots. They would need a really advanced bot to bypass this system.
PROS:
End of auto-connect bots
Simple to develop
CONS:
A 30 second~ time waste every time you log in a character to type the captcha
