Game Mechanics: Whobots.

[Sirlious Mudhbuth]

We would love to have you on Rise of Zek.

This is old, but bumping anyway. This isn't even an issue of having a /who "bot". Anyone can just bind a key to do /who all constantly, and have a log parser like GINA searching for UNKNOWN to know when and where anyone logs in.

This does not seem to be to the spirit of what classic EQ features like /role and /anon do. Instead it completely breaks those features.

Is this at all on the radar for change?

An additional concern (if you are doing something against the rules) is a player can friend all the GMs. If a GM logs to red (even if showing offline) they will appear briefly as they enter world on /who all friend, giving the offending player a insight that they should stop boxing/doing whatever.

Had to pop in because this name rang bells. Tiger, were you on Quellious or am I insane?
