CAPTCHA, you know, those "type what this says to prove you're a human" things. It's ridiculous that it's gotten to the point where this is a genuine request. Seriously. It's getting completely out of hand and everybody who crafts or gathers knows exactly what I'm talking about. If they're not going to start actually banning these people, just put up a CAPTCHA once per hour or so. The game is developing a reputation. It's not just the old familiar names, now I'm seeing an increasing number of actual regular players who have watched SE's inaction for years and decided that they might as well start doing it too.

Do. Something.
