In Reboot, It is discouraging to play this game after being a returning player from ~10years ago. I still see so many bots. Yet, i cant report them because the change channel too quick.. Nexon can you please be more aggressive or have an anti-cheat day to remove these bots/hackers. It ruins the game who plays it fairly..

    This is present in regular servers as well, not just Reboot. These bots not only CC fast, but account creation is too easy as bots reproduce too quickly. If account creation was tougher such as tying an ID to account creation, bots would not reproduced as the ID holder would be banned and not be able to make new accounts.

    Banning all these bots isn't done easily, also we would need a better way to reduce the number of them on long term. Anti-bot mobs were not a solution, neither we have an army of moderators to look for them.

    Anti-bot countermeasures like the ones the kMS has are a good idea. If you're killing mobs, you should be able to solve an incredibly easy puzzle every so often.

    The problem is that hacking programs can solve those puzzles too.
    Just as they can activate runes automatically.

    what about an occasion captcha every so often popping up? You can't attack until you write it

    Why not focus on the reason of botting? So far as I know, players in later game require tons of resources such as meso and exp, but the only way to access them is mobbing especially in reboot server, which are duplicated operations. NX can change this condition anytime like opening 200-250 Monster Park for exp and Party Question for meso. I don’t think highly randomized question could be passed easily by an automatic software.
