You would have to use an algorithm to randomize the intervals slightly; and even then it would probably not be too discrete.

Having said that, I in no way condone or encourage such things.

Carry on.

The algorithm does a wonderful job randomizing the intervals. For instance a users enters in a 5 minute interval, the program would chose a random number +/- a certain amount of seconds to refresh the gym page and then it randomises a few more seconds before doing the crimes/trains. It also detects when the user is in the hospital or jail and will stop training (but keep refreshing randomly) until the user is out.

And you know this how?

Anyone who's familiar with programming would be able to tell you this.

Outside of that, the person who coded this will be able to code another and another and another as each version becomes outdated due to Zenith coding in changes that "break" the bot. Ideally, looking for the signature of the bot is the best thing to do in this instance so that the people using it can be banned, although if the creator is still using it, likely they are developing another version as we speak since this one was outed on the forums.

My point? Next time just mail Zenith personally so that they dont have the chance to actually stop using it first.
