[*]There is no client side cheat detection.

The only thing i did see client side cheat detection do on some others mmos plagued with bots i did play, is worsening the legit honests players experience with bugs, false positives with other harmless programs and the game becoming more resource intensive to work correctly. While the bots were still here in full force because they of course dont use a legit client to connect to the game if that means them being banned of it.

Plus most of these client side cheat detection, when coming from a third party, looked kind of fishy. With no explanations at all when you were searching on the net what is was really doing on your pc. It wouldn't even surprise me if they were some kind of spyware, especially when connecting to some random country where the bots are very well known to come from. When you think of it it can be a very good scheme : plague a game with bots, then approach this game company telling that your program will fight against them, while in fact it wont and you just want to make more money by collecting all the players private datas XD

There are many "anti-cheat" protections on MMOs that have known rootkits and keyloggers in them. Anything that installs invasive things on your hardware should be avoided.

That is another point though; even with protections, hackers will eventually break it down and get functioning bots and trainers in the game.
