What is being doing against botters?

[Nabril]

There are ways to combat them. Blizzard is getting better at it. One way Blizzard is fighting it is that they recently contracted out to a company that writes really great detection software that was finally able to pinpoint Bots with pretty good accuracy. Another way is that they don't allow free trial accounts like this game does that lets them spam their messages. Botters are usually players with the money to pay for accounts, but RMT are doing their work for free and that is really easy to stop: Prevent trial accounts from talking or remove trial accounts altogether. Another way is to ban the serial number of the game- so that players who are banned will have to repurchase the entire game on top of their new subscription price.

Another way Blizzard put the hurt on RMT was when they introduced the Token system that let players turn cash into gold legitimately. This actually got Blizzard sued by the RMT companies for loss of profit, but Blizz won the lawsuit.
