A Reply from the GE Team Regarding Bots and IAH
Written by gyl on Wednesday, September 26, 2007this is by far the most unfounded claim we have heard.
Rather than to dispute the claim with reasons and facts, why dun I take this opportunity to inform all of you on the up-coming anti-bot system developed and implemented by IMC.
IMC have implemented a new anti-bot system in Korean GE v2.4 service. The system enable the legit gamers to alert the system about a suspected botter. The system will then monitor the alleged offender for illegal usage patterns and packets (of course, these details will not be shared for obvious reasons ) If the offender is suspected to be botting by the system, a "graphical response" image will be shown to the offender and he has to manually key in the letters shown in the image. This will make the botting an highly hard-to-do affair.
The system is currently under-going further testing with the kGE system and will most likely be implemented for our service by the time we enter into v2.4. We are currently targeting year end to launch v2.4 for our game service. To prevent bots developers from exploiting the system, details on the finalized system for our service will only be released upon implementation.
On another of our anti-botting initiative, we are in the midst of deploying a full-time anti-botting team in a regional country. This team will focus mainly on combating botters. The team is expected to start operation by the mid of October.
We have also been actively banning bot offenders at the count of around 200 per day. Doing so have required the full deployment of our existing game support team. Of course, we are looking at pushing this figures to another high.
Having explained these measures that we are embarking on, we would still like to reiterate on how you can also play a part in making GE a "cleaner" world. We have identified several of these botters as vis and item farmers who have been doing this as a profiteering business. Our advice is that the a very good way to stop them from continuing to abuse the system is to stop the demand from the buyers. Do not buy "vis" or "items" using real money. Doing so will only fuel the economy and prompt them to heighten the supply. (i.e. more botters!)
Lastly, our silence does not mean that we are not taking any action against the botters. It just mean that we are watching them and planning our move. Stay with us. We are also on a look-out for high level players who have apparently been botting too. (Treasure your account and characters, do not bot!)
Thank you for your attention and we hope that we will continue to provide a game service that's healthy and fun.
Live G.E!

This is directly taken from the forum posted by MeepokTah as a reply from the GE Team in the thread "Regarding Bots and IAH." Then another post issued this morning from the GE Team warning everyone on purchasing Items/Vis.

Dear GE gamers,
We have identified cases of exploitations of our game service which have resulted in
All
We have also monitored and confirmed that several of these acts were committed by RMT (real money trade) game value farmers and we have since removed confirmed offending accounts.
IAHGames would like to issue a SERIOUS WARNING to all GE Gamers NOT TO PURCHASE ANY GAME VIS/ITEMS WITH REAL MONEY.
These measures are highly necessary in order to protect the game economy and quality of game play. We hope that all GE Gamers will support these measures by not supporting any RMT merchants.
IAHGames will not be responsible for any
