We all know majority of bots and gold sellers are from China. Can we carry out this simple solution to almost completely kill these things?
We are not here to see gold spammers in town 24/7 and priest bots running around like playground. In-game reporting won’t make any efficiency in killing them. They are like mutant hydra… you chopped 1 head off, another 2 grows up…
Dig out their root and kill it

They will just proxy around it and/or offer jobs to Chinese living overseas. Again, simple solutions that just won’t work.
It’s called a vpn…
Valve would track down those using VPN to tunneling
Many people benefits from buying cheaper products in other regions using this method and resell again
I never buy Steam games from 3rd party because of this risk
If proxies worked that great then PSO2 would still full of bots after SEGA blocked all China IPs.

Then how do you ban BOTS from EU SEA VIT IDO NA and SA?

very difficult botting PSO2
and to be honest, it is not efficient to bot in PSO2
furthermore, PSO2 Japan block all IP outside Japan
and proxies work very well, i know many ppl from outside TOS service countries use proxies to gain access to this game
Cut off 1 head, 2 more shall take its place!
Based on statistics there were around 15-20% bots in PSO2JP before the block (they banned around 188k bots/RMTers not so long after they announced the server reached 1mil accounts).
And no, except China and SEA almost everywhere in the world can access to PSO2JP just fine without any VPN.
And yes proxies do work fine at least for legit players in PSO2 (I know a lot of SEA people are playing the game via pso2proxy). We dont know how this would affect the bots unless we try it, which is very effective in PSO2.
The main reason why PSO2 doesn’t have many bots is because the Japanese community (mostly) flat out dont buy gold, and the goldsellers have long ago noticed this and abandoned japanese/korean variations of games because you can make quadruple your profits by putting your bots on a NA/EU server instead.
We saw the perfect example of this when iToS was Founders only for a good month, where bots and goldsellers roamed the game heavily, despite needing to pay like 10 bux for a copy. Despite that, you can buy a korean account for like 10 bux as well, but there is flat out no reasoning to do so, as there is no profit in this.
So basically NA/EU gamers are terribly bad at games and need to pay people who aren’t bad at games to achieve everything for them so they can have everything handed to them right away to begin their crusade of e-peen and trash talk immediately without any effort. Wish I was surprised.
need to pay people who don’t even play games/use bots to achieve LODSAMONE*
I mean if a mindless bot that runs around auto attacking things is better at video games than these gold buyers are then that is probably why they are buying in the first place.
It is quite shameful I must say to see what failures these people are when even simple video games are too hard for them to achieve on their own.
nah, TOS script could be easily written by anyone, PSO2 not that easy
and PSO2JP have ban most of the IP, i could access it without any issue when i was living in asahikawa, yet, when i travel, i try login from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Ireland, Holland, GB, none of those can access JP PSO2
and like Woooooooow say, we dont buy gold from gold seller in PSO2JP
, furthermore, my friend from Taiwan have indicate iTOS have already ban some Asia (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan IP) for accessing the game
i have heard even the government (China) restrict their citizen internet access, going over the wall is like daily routine for them
the only way to eliminated bot would be stop ppl buying gold from them
