Your attempts at curbing the bot situation is way too far spread (you try one thing every few weeks) and bots are back within 24h. At this rate it might be months before you find a working solution bots wont overcome within a day.
We need something to be done NOW. Limit account creation and AH use (the only way bots can transfer their gold) to Trusted Steam Accounts. If one day you figure out what to do about bots, you can undo it then.
Another things you can do is having a GM looking at AH for outrageous gem/accessories listed as this is how RMT deals work. You would need ONLY ONE GM per whole region (not even per server!)

@Roxx You really need to consider the above plan. Robots have been flooded. It has been proved that what you are doing now has not had a great impact on robots
I mean if they just tweaked the way pheons worked they could do this easily. They need to hand more out and then lower the cost of ability stones and add pheon costs for gems and accessories period.
If they were to make a set of t1 accessories cost 6 pheons as a start point they can make adjustments from there. Where this gets good for curbing RMT is they need to make the cost increasing like endless chaos.
This limits the reasonable transactions for players both sellers and buyers by forcing them to keep this tax at a reasonable price.
They have no intention of doing this though just putting a pheon tax on gems and other items commonly used to sell gold would have and could have been done
Damn, I’m with 560 hours in and have a main at 1432 and my steam account is still untrusted lol. Playing LA on my alt steam account. But I do like the suggestion, bot are fcking wild in this game
@Roxx
Before you tell us “we are working hard on tools that cannot be disclosed”, are you aware that US West Shandi is having a 12k que at 1AM PST?
Given AGS failed time and time again on their laughable measures, please simply adopt the suggestions in this post

Wanted to play a bit more after family time and chores, and was met with 8k queue…
It means no play today. Considering this is a game with scheduled activities, anyone who has a gaming schedule around work / family AKA anyone who has a disposable income, is not locked out of game. Can not play a little before work, after work or before sleep after family time. 1h waiting in queue before a game session makes it impossible.
I could only spare 1h on queue if I had nothing to do but sit at home all day AKA no income.
@Roxx you have to find a solution that works NOW! Only then your long term battle attempts can come on top of. Otherwise anyone with the income drop money on game will be locked out of game because of your inaction.
