This is exactly the point I saw in a recent x post, that building anti-bot detection was incredibly difficult because some people exhibit bot like behavior. Blizzard employee once told me anti-botting in WoW was extremely challenging due to the number of real people that acted identically to bots. Every assumption was invalidated: - unbelievable # of consecutive hours played - consistently repetitive patterns of movement and clicks - farming patterns that aren’t considered fun (“why would anyone do that”) - solo, no external engagement - goes on for months The problem with botting is many humans ARE bots | ||

How do they know those were real people? Were they livestreaming their face and talking about what they were doing the whole time? | ||
