I got to thinking recently, Balmung (and a few other servers) seem to have an issue with bot populations (and also bot spamming of new characters) which makes it difficult to make new legitimate characters on those realms (people don't really like having to make a character and wait three days to migrate)

So here's what I'm thinking. Software keyboard captchas on the character creation screen, input via the software keyboard ONLY so you can't macro spam the characters in, meaning real players get a look-in on being able to join their friends on the realms of choice.

Randomised key software keyboards should be fairly easy to impliment (after all, the old type DELETE to delete seems fairly straightforward) and would at least serve to hinder the ridonkulous amounts of spam that macros can do, after all it's merely numpad 0 to blast through the creation screen with a few other keypresses to select a class. finding a way to break macros like that would be good, no?
