Since I'm very active looking for bots to report them I came up with a way to prevent a lot of them.
When making a new account only allow Gmail accounts, these need a cellphone number to create so it would slow them down severely. Might make the costs also to high to continue ruin the game for us.

Botters Island.
This would lose out on so many possible players, not everyone wants to go out of there way to make a Gmail account + Link their phone number, heck even some under players don't have cell phones to link. Extra verification is great. but sadly this would not be a good idea in my option. Also with ults, Like Kanna mules.. Linking 2 phones would be even harder.

You can have multiple gmail accounts on 1 phone number max 3 tho, dont know a reason why you would need more than 2 mules especially since you can only login on 1 at the same point. I considerd that point aswell with people having no phones but I think getting the economy back on thread outweights the few.

I am not disagreeing with you that more Anti-bot measures need to be taken, heck I have like 50 reports on botters, But I can say that they would lose out on so many players, who don't want to make a gmail account just to play.

oh that one is interesting, @Kaia is it possible to have whatsapp there tho?
I know its possible to response with an automatic message that is random on top of it. So this could also link phone numbers to accounts = ]

That'd be annoying to legit players and do nothing to stop the most problematic botters, who have bots that automatically alert the owner if someone enters the map, solve captchas, and even respond to player chat.

a one time enter message wont be that anoying for legit players, for botting players the issue will be all accounts chain banned on same phone number so it will raise their costs making it not that profitable anymore and might move to different servers

We are not looking for nor accepting suggestions with regards to Botting.

Please refrain from posting such suggestions in the future; this applies to ALL players.
