In your head, that extra tedium is done to prevent bots from being as effective.
In reality, the tedium itself is the reason bots are used in the first place. Adding extra tedium is like trying to extinguish a fire by throwing a gascan on it. It fucking explodes and you're only incentivising more people to do more botting. I'm working on making a bot that will refuel my steel for 48 hours so I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night during workdays to do a meaningless retarded skill-less tedious activity. Haha, FUN MECHANIC.
The philosophy is good, but the approach is retarded. And this discussion could go on for months, if not years.
I agree with your thoughts.
But the problem is the possibility that new players will quit this game when they learn of the ruthless botting by others.
So it is also a suggestion to add an automatic feature to the default client
HnH rabid players and forum players basically use custom client, but normal players only use default client
