Don't leave... The drones need you. They look up to you  

the simplest bot possible is a basic macro that just has the sword key spammed indefinitely. it's easily traceable on its own, but the admins have been putting things in place for the more advanced bots. the bouncing reconnect screen, etc;.

the "are you there?" screen pops up even if you're moving, because it's supposed to be a counter to bots. its pretty effective, although generally there aren't even that many people out of the 4000 average online that even bot in general. they're doing this because farmbotting is a easy alternative to gralat packs, and if a bunch of people just started botting, they'd just stop giving graal money in packs.

there are tons of alternatives and workarounds of course, and it hasnt stopped farmbotting, but it did slow it down
