Idea 1: New or unverified accounts could start with limited access to trading, PWE, and gacha/shop systems until they gain trust through account age, normal gameplay activity, or verification. This would make mass-created bot accounts much less effective immediately after being created.
Idea 2: The system could monitor suspicious behavior such as repetitive automated actions, excessive join/leave activity, abnormal reconnect patterns, or multiple accounts operating from similar environments. Instead of instantly banning accounts, these behaviors could lower a hidden trust score over time.
Idea 3: Suspicious accounts could receive a temporary “economic mute” where they are still allowed to play normally, but cannot trade, transfer, buy, or sell, drop items for a certain period (for example 7 days). This would directly reduce the profitability of botting without heavily affecting normal gameplay.
Idea 4: Repeatedly flagged accounts could be moved into a shadow pool where they mainly interact with other suspicious accounts instead of normal players. This allows the system to continue monitoring behavior while quietly reducing the impact bots have on the real economy and community.
Idea 5: Session and reconnect behavior could also be part of the detection system. Since many bots rely on stable automated sessions, repeated disconnected sessions, unusual reconnect patterns, or constant reconnect attempts could gradually lower account trust and trigger additional verification or captcha checks.

Idea: Economic mute could also help because many botters now buy high-level accounts from other players, allowing them to instantly access high-tier gear and bypass early-game restrictions. With an economic mute/trust system, suspicious accounts would still be limited from trading, transferring, buying, or selling items even if they already own advanced equipment, making bought accounts far less effective for botting.
