x amount of clicks per placecard per day, would flush all that out and add a somewhat similar system to what you propose.
no, they wouldn't, that's the whole point, to give the bots and macros the exact same chances of a real player. the current system rewards macros. macroing the placard is *stupidly* easy. pretty sure I can write a macro for it *from memory*. it takes like 10 lines, that's part of what gave me the idea for this, to make macroing pointless in the first place.

I'm not against having to refresh "camp mode" periodically, but since that could likely just be macrod anyway, what does it actually accomplish, other than again, specifically giving bots and macros the advantage? 24 hours is actually a bad number, 10-20 is reasonable. too often and it just encourages automation again, too long and people will just leave it for a week.
hacks is outside my intended scope, that's an SE problem. the main bot that I have seen for ffxiv doesn't hack the game, it just reads RAM content which is not protected, or reads network packets, which are again, not protected. nothing I can think of to do about that other than using malware like other asian game companies do.
