Cheating and RMT exploitation has hit a new level of ridiculous.

[Deceptus]

The bot programmers then set up their new accounts, figure out what the counter measure was and find a new way around it. What's achieved through code can be circumvented by other code..

The bot countermeasures are simply

Set up a new email and a new account
Set up a new payment method
Run leveling script to desired level
Continue botting as normal

Can you imagine how much things would cost if everyone had to gather their own crystals and aethersand, instead of bots constantly minting them by the thousands?

IMHO Crystals should have went away a long time ago as they're nothing more than bot farms at this point.
