Probably not an unpopular opinion...but why all the pussyfooting? Why do we continue to band-aid solutions of second or third order problems. You said it yourself several times in the post. It's the bots. You know why your Untamed are worth less? It's the bots. How many wild ideas and proposals do we have now that stem from "well, because the bots are doing x, y, or z, we need to do this thing here..."?
Why not just address the root problem? The scaled bots. And that only really started to be a problem once the rental market became a thing.
Way I see it we need to ban bots (KYC or something), sack the rental market, or make long term ownership (and not pass cards around delegation merry-go-round) a meaningful part of the game [again].
