This 11.0 patch may be a new beginning but it's too late for that now as most of the old players have gone and moved on. I will play 11.0 patch without botting, that much is sure. If botting comes back, which unless they have done tremendous updates to be able to detect botting, then I will go back to botting/playing manual. I think it's a good sign that tibia is moving towards this change, albeit too late in the game. If they have it programmed so that every update will have to require you to completely reprogram your bot, or ever day things change preventing you from botting I think that would be great. I am not hating on botters, as I have said currently I am one. However I do think that interaction between players, and everything about the old tibia is the stuff I miss. Which there isn't much of these days.
Edit: reading some of the comments, I can't believe how many people are thinking the same as me.
2nd edit: Although I say it will be a good move for tibia. I won't deny that I will feel bad for Darkstar, and hopefully it wasn't taken that way. Obviously it really sucks for him and I feel for him as it most likely is his main source of income.
