The "report isk spammer" button was a step in a good direction.

Originally by: CCP Sreegs Hey guys, just wanted to say I'm seeing a lot of conversation here about us not caring or not doing anything about this particular subject and I wanted to affirm that it's a subject that's very near and dear to my heart. This isn't a subject that's being ignored in ANY WAY, and it's actually something I personally take umbrage with.
I understand how one can feel a certain way based on their personal perceptions, but I can also say with some degree of authority that this is no way a subject that's being ignored in the least.
That's good to hear, I have a couple questions though.
When is the client injection being patched? If you aren't able to answer that, are you at least aware that the most advanced bots use client injection, and are you working on making the client more secure from outside code? I'm not a botter nor a bot designer, so forgive me if my questions are a bit ignorant, but from taking a cursory look around it looks like the top bots are much "closer to metal" than should be allowed, due to presumably a lack of security in the client.
I do know that the source code leaked a few years ago, so that might be making the job harder (?).
What about a Warden/Punkbuster style program? Keep in mind there would be some community backlash, but this is very standard for MMOs, and even FPSs to implement to stop cheating. I think that an anti-cheat process that runs separately from the game, even a simple one, would make it much tougher to macro. The simple macros are basically recorded mouse movement, and the advanced ones use client injection. Both of these can be patched or detected much more easily if you have an anti-cheat process running outside of the client code.

bots should be perma-banned, and the cheating policy should be well publicized. RMT can be dealt with by a week-long ban and 0 isking the character, but once someone knowingly downloads and uses a bot they should simply not be welcome in our game ever again.
