Yeah well thats what the Russians have been doing from the start anyway. ''Our'' current public client from Taipon also already has several questionable features which absolutely should not be in, but who checks it anyway. People kept the good clients for private purpose anyway to get an advantage. You could literally get away with botting and macro-ing nowadays.
I have never been able to compete in regards to infrastructure and no-lifing anyways. But it was back in 2015 when I saw the Russians clients for the first time I was amazed. For example setting up your gardening area of 1000's of pots in a certain way so that it would be automated. Or features of auto-picking up things. I've seen 30+ candy been picked up from the lama prior to it disappearing. With my humanly reaction time, I usually only could get like what 10 pieces orso.
Point being, its easier than ever and very commonly used in Salem for many years now. JC back then was showing off some means of detecting, but to me that meant nothing. Also a reason why I am entirely against custom clients, I want everyone to be on the same playground. Sadly the standard client needs quite some effort before it would be a reasonable alternative.
