i say if they are doing that way then why not put a shard debuff damg from attemping to gather while naked that damages you while you mine if you dont have proper clothing on such as you know shoe+chest++pantthat does like 30% damg via health. I mean in real world if u were to try to mine vein with out clothes you would be in pain after all that rock and shards flying at your bare skin. this would slow down or even halt certain area from being bot spammed annnnd they would be force to spend gold to pay for repairs. by all mean keep em there but do this make repairs 200gold for the reported bot and flag by mod. Thus they have to spend gold to keep their bots running lol. {edited myself ) oh and you can also make all TP item sellable in the Trading post but in order to receive the payment you need to keep that character.
