10 Most Creative Traps For Video Game Cheaters

Similar to World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XIV has to constantly deal with bot accounts trying to mine the in-game resources on a mass scale.

Another similarity is that Final Fantasy XIV's admin team also incorporates a strategy that involves changing the physical makeup of the game's maps. However, their method has proven so successful that it is actually still utilized to this day.

Instead of altering the paths between different resources, the game's script is regularly changing the location of the resource spots themselves! Because of this, the bots have a much harder time searching for them, and only the most sophisticated of them can even have a chance of gathering anything.

Now, you might say that this strategy, while effective, leaves the player base quite inconvenienced, too, but the resources are still present in generally designated areas, meaning that an average human player should have no problem looking for them, while an AI will inevitably struggle, unable to track very specific spots on the map.

That's one win for humanity in its everlasting fight against cold machine efficiency.
