Default Re: Should we really care??

I think I'll chime in here. I am a reformed bot maker who programmed a homegrown bot by screen scraping. (A 2BB+/100 winning bot, albeit only at .25/.50 Full Ring Limit.) It would certainly have been a headache if the card pixels were repositioned by a few pixels randomly every 50 hands or so. Problem is, it would only have been a small nuisance. For a programmer, that's not a difficult workaround, and definitely not the area of my program that was taking the most resources. (not even close). To really disable bots, changes to the client would have to be made unpredictably, and often.
