To stop bots hogging spawns..

That's a good idea but the only developers left that are able to change item colors are long gone. And the legacy code is effectively impossible to decipher since it is nearly 2 decades old.

The botting is out of control. It's so lame. How did EQ turn into a bunch of characters being played by a computer? I'm going to start reporting every case I see. I'm sure it wont go anywhere but I don't care. It's disheartening to know you are competing for loot with a bunch of afk characters that all have their epics

Just keep reopening your petition. At some point they might look into it =P

you do know most of those you think is "botting" is merely just being boxed right? on all the TLP's over the years the recent ones have minimal BOTTING... plenty of boxing though and as long as they follow TRUEBOX then that is not an issue...
