I am posting this thread in the hopes of capturing a new idea that will hopefully provide useful to game development.
I suggest a mandatory chat que. Or perhaps a login timer check(prevent bots from logging on the exact second every day).
please post any ideas you think might work.
I feel that i do not violate posting rules by requesting ideas in this thread. rather than just picking one.

There are no good ideas that don't end up annoying the normal users.

Re: Programming Ideas to Stop Bots.
They could make build time for objects more realistic. right now you can make a bow in like 2 minutes in game. I know from personal experience it takes a good 6 hours to make a nice bow from scratch.which would translate into 2 real hours. 2 real hours is a bit much unless we had the ability to save work that had been done on an object. but bots are good at repetitive tasks . so if tasks were less repetitive, for example if they took longer bots impact would be severely reduced.
