For those of you at home, this is what one calls 'a lie'. Like, blatant, bold-faced, Fox News-grade, disprovable-in-ten-seconds-by-anyone-who-looks lying. You should be better than that. You aren't, clearly, but you should be.

Yeah, right between the six different ones that have been in operation for multiple years, and a bit under the article about the one that was only killed after almost a decade by a lawsuit rather than any actual engineering work.

Anyone who knows what they're looking for could kick off a mighty banwave in this game in a couple days with access to the server logs, a little scripting, and a spreadsheet. As it always has been, it is an enforcement problem, not an engineering problem.

Of course, this is assuming one has an interest in actually solving the extant botting problems, rather than grinding multiple unrelated axes under the catch-all guise of 'cheating'.
