Botany Bay
We're almost ready to reveal our latest and greatest blow against the evil botters that pollute the game. While the Engine and System teams have been fixing, testing and improving the system, we thought it would be great if all players were able to get involved in punishing these clockwork menaces...so we’ve created Botany Bay.
After a cheating, rule-breaking, botting account has been caught in the act, they will be teleported to Botany Bay: a new location, hidden on a dark, foreboding island and run by the Botfinder General. Here, real players will be invited to listen to a fully voiced speech from the General, while pelting the offender with rotten tomatoes. You'll then be invited to choose one of three game-ending punishments for the offender, resulting in a brutal set of animations and a permanent ban. You’ll be able to hear about ongoing trials via the announcers that sit near several busy in-game locations. They will also offer a handy teleport to anyone nearby.
For those actually voting and choosing the account-ending punishments, you’ll also be able to access new cosmetic rewards, including a flaming pitchfork emote.
oh
oh my god public bot shaming

what the balls
i realize they're botting but what about those wrongly accused
like really i've turned my public on to be greeted by a bunch of people screaming "lol blocko skill bot!!!!". i wasn't botting. at all.
and what are they going to do about all those trolls who will just join the program for the pitchfork emote and punish everyone or release everyone? i don't understand how this is really going to work well in the long run.
but oh well, their call.

wont ever stop the bots
