Bot traps
Use of bots is a frequent problem in online gaming, and most game publishers have invested heavily in trying to eliminate them from their games.
Bots appear in games in the same way that human players do, so there is no easy way to tell which players of a game are not real.
Instead, complex techniques called bot traps have to be used to trick bots into revealing themselves.
For example, in a first person shooter (FPS) game, players who seem to be moving too fast or pinpointing a particular point very accurately raise alarm bells.
Asking direct questions or placing players in unusual situations in the game are techniques which are often used by administrators to identify bots.
However, for every improvement in bot detection, the bots themselves become more complex and more difficult to spot.
