Doing things to punish bots is fine but ffs don't punish the regular player base too, I could understand 5 minutes, but sitting around for 10 minutes over and over hoping the rare/unique drop that would be an upgrade off "X" boss to happen is awful.
Any time restrictions as a solution to bot farming is simply ludacriss to begin with. Bots are software/machines they have no concept of time, only math. I have noticed that the bots now simply run around killing all the regular mobs until there loot timer rests then they go kill the boss again. The appeal of not having bound items or loot timers was one of the major reasons I got this game. Now I'm not so sure I made the right choice.
I pretty much never grind at all. But when there is a world boss right outside a delve, I'm naturally going to do one right after the other. If it doesn't take me 10 minutes to clear the delve to the boss (none of the solo ones take 10 minutes) I miss out on any chance of loot from whatever boss I choose to do second.
