While I support this as a whole, it's not going to happen. Bots exist people coders with a brain control the MOUSE not the game. Randomizing menus is just going to cause people grief, and is on a level or paranoia as the TSA in the United States. You want random borderline sexual abuse pat downs next?
Bots exist and will ALWAYS exist unless CCP literally CONTROLS your computer. Then whose playing the game?
If you see a bot, report it. CCP can dance like a marionette but it is not going to change the result. The effort they have spent in curbing bots already is one of the most developed anti-bot system I have seen. I cannot in good conscience ask them to waste more time on this unless someone develops a way to hack the servers themselves.

Sorry... but WE CAN ASK CCP to "waste" more time on this...
and you know why???
becouse WE PAY RL MONEY TO PLAY THIS GAME... 
and before we created account WE HAD TO agree to EULA... and EULA is contract between two sides... and all we ask is that other side carry out what THEY WROTE in that contract... nothing more and nothing less...
so if they say that botting will be sanctioned... well then sanction it...
and if they dont do anything to conduct EULA then we dont need to obey it... and that will lead to death of EVE like many other games died becouse of Bots...
If you actually read any of the CCP correspondence regarding the BOTS, they spend copious amounts of time "dealing with bots". They spend enough time dealing with it and listening to complaints of players, I am sure they are having nightmares about BOTS in their sleep.
If you use the search tool you should be able to find a particular topic in by a dev explaining just why bots are so difficult to spot. I can name a few because for the past 2 years I have had these damned emails trying to sell bots because a forum I signed up on had a security leak and a .cn originating user began spamming all users.
When you actually LOOK at what CCP is trying to fight, these things are ridiculous! You would think rails that run you through diablo were high-tech, these things make those older bots look like a Tandy next to a 8500$ gaming rig.
However I KNOW since the first MMO I played in 97 Bots have existed. Do you think out of no where CCP is going to develop a Anti-BOTting system that hasn't existed in the 14 years its been a prevalent trade? Do you think you pay enough for them to TRY and develop that? Considering just how much program developers make in a paycheck, I can sum it up pretty simply. CCP has spent more money in Anti-BOT development than I have made during my highest year of income.
But please don't tell me because you pay a subscription CCP IS REQUIRED to make you happy. They don't force you to subscribe, neither do they do NOTHING to try and make you happy. They do what they can with the money that is there. They have jobs, they are not subjects of the Amarr empire. Treating them as such shows no respect for a group trying to make an earnest attempt at correcting the issue.
