    The good news about the botting fix

    People are still gonna bot, if something involves repetition, someone in the world will figure out a way to bot it. The good I take away from this, shards and crystals will not be as easy to get because of the fish recipes, in turn will make fishing bot more… pointless, and finally the Luminary Tools will actually be an achievement.

    Good attempt SE, I like.

    I think your missing the point calling it a "botting fix" .. if it is, it's the lamest one I've ever seen. Common.. if you think this will stop a bot you really don't understand what your dealing with.

    I'm going with my original suggestion, get a watchdog client and prelink the binaries after patch and randomize the memory addresses of each game client individually.

    The bad news is that it serves to piss off legitimate players even more and addresses a symptom of the problem instead of the problem itself.

    I dont see how having to click a couple buttons to get back into your synth squat would piss ppl off. If you find something so trivial that irritating you have larger issues to deal with.

    No good fix really. You're sugjestions? Viable ones really.

    Even thinking of, 'have GMs ban people' dont really work in this instance. The player base is low, starting to build, but coming back. Ban 1/8 of your paying players, oh, and while we're doing that, let's add on 100 more GMs to the payroll so we can ban these people.

    Tough spot for SE, but I like this attempt. It hurts the shard market botters, it has an effect on fish bot too, and keeps Luminarys where they should be.

    It doesn't fix bots, but it will fix taped keys and turbo controllers, in general. Read the other 3 threads please.
