Re: Botting - why?

KaVir, I think you're missing the point that I, and now dentin, are trying to make. If you pick a round hole (16k 1-on-1 PvP, heavy RP), you'd be able to fit a round peg through it (say that eliminating botting is possible). But that doesn't prove that a round peg can fit through any hole.

In my game, and I guess in dentin's as well, design decisions involve trying to preserve PvE that appeals to both grinders and explorers, while discouraging exploiters to a reasonable extent. If I set it as my foremost goal to eliminate botting completely from this picture, I would have to re-balance the game completely in ways I am not comfortable with.
