# Anti-scripting

Most NFT games at the moment require players to pay upfront before playing. With that setting, there is little incentive for them to come up with a mechanism to fight against automatic bots. 

NIA Ground is Free-to-Play. Therefore, we put heavy emphasis on anti-scripting. Not only that, we will also integrate the anti-scripting mechanism into the gameplay. For example, during any battle, players would have to perform a certain quick time action to receive bonuses such as buff/debuff or critical strikes. If a player failed to perform the action several times in a row, the account would be flagged as suspicious and blocked from action for the rest of the day. Further investigation would be performed to determine permanent ban.
