You can also mess with botting programs by opening trade windows with them, which is why it's a red flag if it's also on top of other factors. Biggest one that I don't see mentioned here however is their pathing. Bots, especially the most popular ones for this game, rely on pathing. If the character is moving the same way each time between each node then they're pretty sus, though we've gotten past the days where bots can't jump unless manually told to do so I believe. That used to be another dead give away. If the botter took a long, walk only route when one or two jumps would allow for a quicker time, and then always followed that same inefficient path, then it used to be a dead giveaway.
