According to Tanitha’s letter they catch about 40 bots daily of which only 15 are reliable enough for outright banning. That’s 37% accuracy. I thing it is pretty high for an automated system and also why they decided on the three-strikes penalty. Since there is a 63% probability that it wasn’t a bot.

[…] and foremost – regarding the “new bot ban system” – I was apparently wrong in accusing WG EU of inaction. Ectar posted that this system […]

Ectar probably just lied. He’s good at that.

Ah, but is the system actually proven? If even on the SEA server (held to be the most bot-ridden) they are hedging their bets regarding ban lengths then I suspect that the number of false positives is rather high.

Because there a bunch of retarded son of bitches that wouldn’t know what hard work was if it smacked them in the face (There are a few exceptions at WG EU) but for most part their a bunch of clueless morons.

Indeed terribly strange not to implement a proven system on the EU. I think it is strange how they can’t implement something at around the same time, or even at the same time on the different server. They are, afterall not that bloody different.
