I don't think the 8 hour farming limitation that will be implemented in the CN version is to control botting, but to regulate the amount of time people spend playing the game. As most probably already have heard, an 18 year old kid died from playing a recently released mmo game in Taiwan for more than 20 hours straight. This has been a growing problem and concern in a lot of Asian countries.

From an over seas news broadcast I've seen a few weeks ago (not sure if it was in China or Taiwan), the Chinese government is trying restrict the amount of game time for MMOs by passing laws and regulations to game companies effective this August. All as an effort to control child obesity problem, and raising academic, social, and moral standards.

Honestly, and thought on an individual level I feel sorry for the families of the people who DIE from PLAYING MMOS, but if the Chinese government, or any government, wants to control MY personal recreation time by having it dictated to me how long and in what manner I may play a game, imma hafta throw a big F-U in their general direction.

I am sick of this attitude towards a lack of personal responsibility the general world population is taking. I'm fat, so the restaurant is to blame. My kid died because he played an MMO for too long, it was the MMO's fault. I'm a stuipd, friendless, a-moral axxhole, but it's not my fault, it's society's fault.
No.
If I die from playing an MMO for too long, I'm a moron. Write that on my tombstone if you must, but it's true. Here lies Reliea, she played PW for too long and died, what an idiot. I don't even care to find out the details of the story, if I died from an MMO, all you would need to know about my life is written right there.
Personally, I think there are too many idiots in the world, so if a few of them want to MMO themselves to death, I say go right ahead. I really couldn't give a damn about game addicts, like most kinds of addicts, either they'll get help, or they wont, but that doesn't mean their inability to control their behaviour has the right to influence the way we play our games.
I am sane enough not to need a GameNanny to tell me when to go to bed, as I'm sure is the case for most of us.
So seriously, cram that 8-hour limit thing far back into the trashbag of bad ideas. There is no way to make that even slightly salvageable.

Now botters will just use 3 characters to bot instead of one. I am thinking this will not be that helpful.
