Just to think about it, how much can NCSoft be better than Taiwan and Korea in getting rid of bots? well i dont really think there will be a big diff. the results will be similar.
Ppl have complained about bots in china. I understand that in china it is run by some chinese company and NCsoft cant do anything about it.
I know about Taiwan is pretty strict about banning bots. More serious than US. i have some friends that play online games in Taiwan. And some of the strategies was that for the user to login to the account to play, they will need to use their mobile phone to call (free call) a number to give them access to login . The person who is running BOT cannot buy millions of mobile account to login each account. It didnt guarantee NO BOTS but it did reduce alot of BOTS. But it also means it bit of troublesome to everytime u want to play, u have to make a call. I dont no wat strategy Taiwan is using to reduce BOTS.
Remember, Taiwan server blocks overseas IP so therefore majority players are base in Taiwan so they can use this strategy. In NCSoft US, they wont be able to implement this kind of strategy is because too many countries playing in US.
I hope NCsoft US can come up wif some better strategy to deal wif bots otherwise this game will be hot at the start and dies off later.

I believe someone, somewhere informed on these boards that US servers are limited to US residents only. Thus no foreigners of any type. Although if this is correct, that would not completely eliminate 'bots'. There are US residents who farm MMO currency and whatnot.
