Not all humans are in their right minds, unfortunately.

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?

It is much harder to tell one from the other, and for oneself, than it often seems on the surface.
