In order to be able to send messages, you must of gotten atleast 10 hours of gameplay over your accounts lifetime, this restricts so only serious players use the messaging system instead of newly created bots

You underestimate these bots.

The people desperate enough to purchase these bots can also make them fill up a game, nearly tens of thousands of bots at once.
Take for example most "roleplay" or "tycoons" that land on the front page out of nowhere. Those are bots.


hahaha what

It is. I've seen people purchase swarms of these bots (if they can't code it themselves) for hundreds of dollars. When that much money is poured in, you're quite free to do whatever the hell you want.

Take for example the "Baneposting" attacks on the roblox forums a while back involving hundreds of bots completely outposting normal users.

They can use other people's computers to do it. Botnets
