@Gothix said in Anti-Hack/Cheat/Bot:
There would be one system to prevent botting, but it's so rigid that would severely lower real player population as well so gaming companies do not use it.
System:
Require EVERYONE to create an account using credit card (real info read). Even if game is not subscription.
Whenever someone cheats / hacks / exploits / uses a BOT -- ban that person (through his credit card info). Now this person can no longer make a new account ever, not using other credit card, not in any way (unless he goes to police and changes his name, and people can't just do that every day, and 99% wouldn't anyway even if they could).
That way would prevent botting for sure, as once botter is banned, he can no longer come with a new account.
However this would also deter all the players who want to play anonymously from playing the game, and of course it's why gaming companies will never use that since they do not wish to cut their profits by reducing amount of players that will play their game. 
Dont the chinese have this system, they have to register using a ID and mobile number connected, those games still have bots?
Iv even got on chinese games newgameway, and gold seller bots commonly steal credit card info to buy accounts so they will just use said info to make the accounts too.
It would work against normal cheaters, but not the gold sellers I dont think
