Realistically, anything that it mind numbingly boring and the chinese don't force the prisoners to do it, a bot probably will. And I thought this game was made for the casual person in mind...
it does not matter how easy or hard or boring something is. if it has levels to gain people that are botting now will bot regardless of how fun it is. they bot to get ahead or to keep from having to go farm their own materials or to have items to sell. levels and gil are the reason for botting and either way the bot program will outdo someone doing it themselves. there is no way a person can keep up with a bot running round the clock. it never sleeps and is always churning away.

the ideas of making things harder for people to bot are actually asking for a slow tedious time consuming process to become even more so. anything they could put in place to stop the bots will make the legit players experience even less enjoyable.

if you don't think that's the case check out the gathering hidden fatigue and tell me that anti-rmt method doesn't make gathering less fun when you start breaking item after item.
