    Bot Prevention.

    The main thing that effects the sheer number of bots that are created and accounts that run in the game is the lack of a 'I am a person' check in character creation. As it is they set up a program that waits for the reset of the day then they have a throwaway character made and deposited into the game when the restrictions are lifted. In this way they can flood any server with new bots every day. I think if there was a 'person' check after reserving a place within a server it would lead to a more effective means than any measure taken after the fact of them being proven cheaters. Also if it allowed you to get your place in line before the check it would allow altoholics like myself to get in just as quickly as ever so as not to effect the typical gamer's mood too negatively. We all know some of the chosen methods of people checks are quite strenuous on the eyes and patience.

    Regardless thank you for reading and I hope this problem comes under a reasonable level of control soon.

    Nowadays, Most of my friends don't need to play the game for collecting weekly Tombs, specific time gathering or anything. They just use Bot program to grind everything for them. (Now they almost have all of new Relics for every class)

    SE will do nothing about this anyway so... Deal with it bro... ;____;

    btw I don't use it. Never Ever.

    I quite don´t get it.
    $Cheater pays his subscription, thinks the game is too boring/grindy for him, pays another one to play the game for him.

    I´m usually done with tomes an my weekly schedule (CT, Midas normal) on the 2nd day after reset, and then coming online for raids. I even did the FATEs now for my 3rd Relic because just by playing for what i pay, all this comes along by itself.

    Really never got what botting/cheating in multiplayer is about...
    If i would put this duty to a bot, why even bother paying the subscription. It feels like paying for Netflix just to have it running in my living room while I sit 24/7 in my computer room playing $game and never intend to watch netflix at all? I could as well start wiping my ass with dollar bills, so they at least fullfill some purpose...

    I assume you reported all of your "friends" multiple times, didn´t you?
