Its ok, I recognize you are passionate on this issue so I didn't take it as a personal attack :)
And I've answered in many places the reason for defining the Terms of Service and not focusing on the enforcement.
The community creating its "will" is very important when setting the rules. Determining that will does many things.
While you and many programmers understand there are "bad actors", you are also dismissing the implications from many other angles. Are the top guilds going to go rogue? Will the popular bot/battle helper providers go rogue? If not, then that would cover probably 90% of the playerbase.
So if we have 90% of our institutions following the will of the community, then it will be much easier to police/enforce the other 10%.
But the central issue comes down to this. We can not ever implement anything to help players that want to play human vs human without aids if we don't try. According to you and others that make this point, its impossible.
I don't agree. I know there are many other games out there that do encourage human vs human competition without outside assistance. I think anyone that is honest with themselves would understand this is a good goal to achieve.
So do we try by starting with defining the will of the community?
Or do we just say it can't be done and tell ALL those that want to have human vs human competition without outside assistance to go elsewhere because we can't do what other companies do?
I agree its hard @yuexn, but just because its hard doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
Again thank you for the respectful conversation. While we don't agree on this, like I said I do appreciate all you do to make this game better!
