I hate bots. Just to state it.
But having multiple accounts is not wrong, I wont do it but if people want to pay that extra amount of money each month just to avoid playing with other people, fine by me.
There is one way with almost 100% effective way of getting rid of bots. Ready?
Ok. You have seen it many many times. Captchas. Ok, I admit I hate captchas but not as much as I hate bots. Now it don't have to be a giant splash over the screen once every minute but when a repetitive motion is detected it would be ok. Or make it so that you have to write that captcha when you gather, but that would only work if it takes >10 sec to gather and resources are scattered (that is I'm not clicking on a resource every 5 sec like in many MMORPGs) so I don't have to write text all the time. I only play with a mouse and my G13 (just mapping keys not macros) so writing often is not fun.
Farmers are a different subject. On one hand I don't care if people cheat by buying gold or material for real currency. But for the love of god stop gold sellers from spamming me. I don't think Xsyon will be a game that will get a lot of attention from gold sellers thou.
I really hope that it is made so that we don't have to see a bot in the game. And please be hard on boting and cheating, no temporary bans, just permanent ban instant!
