There's really nothing that normal players, or even GMs for that matter, can do to stem the flow of bots. What needs to be done is look at a selection of the gold-farming bot accounts, see what email service they all use, then restrict the email services with which you're allowed to sign up for an account accordingly while also adding an extra layer or two of verification to the account creation process because as of right now, this is the only information required to create an account.
So basically what you're saying is that if you don't have a cell phone or $100 to spend on something that is only available to citizens of the US, US lawful permanent residents Colombia, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Panama, Singapore, South Korea or Mexican nationals, then you're not allowed to create an account?
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's not going to work, bud.

No white screen nonsense, I just ban right away. Just put on my cloak of invisibility so they don't see me, and if they're macro'ing and teleporting all over the place, BOOM! BANHAMMER.
I accept NX-only payment.
They just can't "hire" anyone like that to be player-GMs, 'cause that's a lot of responsibility. But on the plus side, they wouldn't have to actually pay us or just give a monthly NX allowance. That would be great, tbh. It would need to be taken seriously like a real job though.
I'm sure there's a lot of people that would be willing to do this.
But treat it as an actual job!
I don't know if they're doing 10k a week anymore because I see the same people day after day. It shouldn't take more than a day to investigate someone who bots or hacks all day. You can even check the ranks if you can't be bothered going out and looking yourself. There are level 231 goldfarmers. How does that even happen? Those guys are the same guys who hit 210 at Scrapyard and are now at Destroyed world tree. That's a long period in which they got left alone without a ban. So 10k a week...? I don't think so.
It's because of stuff like that people can't be trusted. I would like them to bring back lie detectors though with perhaps more restrictions on them so people can't abuse them.
