As I was questing today, I had an idea on how to combat quest bots. When questing, there are dialog interactions with NPCs. Usually, the options for responding to these NPCs are ordered the same for all players. If it is feasible, would it be a good idea to randomize the order that the options are listed to combat botting?
This would surely annoy many players following quest guides on YouTube however, it would combat at least some bots.
I'm not sure how bot programming works (if they can parse strings from in-game interactions with NPCs or if they simply choose a numeric option to select chat responses during quests) but I figured I'd mention this idea just in case it's relevant.
Thoughts?
