Discussion: How Can We Handle Botting Better?

[KageTokage]

I've been noticing a lot of these "Obviously an alt account" gathering bots with only one DoW/M class at 70, no FC, and only miner/botanist capped turning up lately. It's often easy to tell who owns them judging from the fact that they tend wear mostly/only gear made by the same player.

The weird thing is that I literally never have seen these players before and if they had leveled to 70 on my server I'd almost certainly have noticed them with how much I get around while searching for hunt marks on a daily basis.

Do people regularly sell off accounts to be used specifically for this purpose or something? I have a hard time imagining that they're server transfers.
