Anything can be scripted to get around the preventative measure. Just look at all of the different ways RMT are abusing the game and the player base blatantly without anything really stopping them. They key is to make it harder for them to achieve their goals; such as forcing their buyers to attempt to keep hate listed on mobs to gain points.

The starter zones lvl sync bots, the auction house price manipulation bots, the JP/MLvl merc bots, etc., yet the new introduction of Master Levels just gave the merc bots a massive new market to monopolize.

The fact that they allowed level sync was a really poor choice if they knew about this problem ahead of time. If they never allowed Master Level syncing the RMT and made the gates give practically no exp at Mlvl 20 then the bots would be worthless once their GEO/SAM combo hit Mlvl 20.

The range of levels where EP are given should have been tightened and force players to explore other Apex zones, fight new Apex mobs, and have a sense of progression instead of sitting at the gates for JP 0-2100 and then Mlvl 0-99.

They could have also forced thought into fighting the newer apex mobs such as making them link, having them hit harder to require a tank, do something to force out the botters if that's what they want to accomplish.

Everyone I know still just kills apex mobs in the gates and plan on doing the same thing once the cap increases. Just have one person outside of exp range to level sync to and it's an endless source of mindless points even if they go to Mlvl 99.
