i am also against bots, but i doubt that the proposal will change much, especially this method bears the risk that innocent people will be banned. i remember when worldofwarcraft automated this process. if you were too good in the arena, the opponents simply reported me as botting and the system automatically banned at a certain number of reports. that sucked and completely took the fun out of arena for me! that's why i think kyc is a better method, for example each person is only allowed to participate in ranking with a maximum of 5 accounts, that way you would at least curb the botfarms for now.
but i still vote for it. just on principle to show that bots have to go!
This proposal would be a foot in the door and an indication which way things could go bot wise. Indeed, to ban an account should not be taken lightly. Perhaps something like draining their ECR instead of an out right ban could alleviate some worries. I'll leave that up to people much smarter than me to figure out and share through future proposals and suggestions. This is simply about drawing a line in the sand.
