We?re in the process of stepping up our detection and tracking to log and action players that are botting, or habitually AFKing in the Battlegrounds. We?ll be taking aggressive action and removing earned items, Honor Points, and ultimately suspending or even banning accounts of those that are found to be botting or habitually AFKing. It?s a sophisticated level of monitoring we?re undertaking. No one actively playing in the Battlegrounds normally should be concerned that they?ll be actioned.

Thank-you, Blizzard! I am glad to see that you actually still care about this game! I have been so sick of this issue for so long now. Please smite these persons down so hard their computers break.

They had to save something for a rainy day when any other game finally threatened their income even for a short period of time.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

War does not determine who is right, war determines who is left.
For there is much in life to love. To leave it without sampling the full flavor of life, would be a tragedy.

Unless they are going to have a some people actively monitoring BGs I don't see how an automated system can catch any but the most blatant offenders.
Most hide close enough to battles to get HK's like behind bases, towers, under bridges, in rooms near cap points etc... so they can't tag them for non-participation. Others are very sophisticated even can attack and defend themselves to a degree though its obvious when you are engaged with one.
I will believe it when I see it but my gut tells me this is just hooey to shut people up for a while.

Yeah I am not sure how the bot will work and I am sure they will never tell us. If anyone still follows any AoC news, apparently the new anti BOT program there has been smiting down many legit players... ouch.
Hey they need to save for a rainy day! If they are intending Titan to have a life span of 2 decades then man thats got to be one expensive game that will literally suck me in.

And I am sure that no botter ever claimed to be a legit player.

I think that if you actively help catch a botter cheating, you should get their stuff when they get banned. Call it a bounty and watch the hilarity ensue
