It's probably been said already in this thread, but the only effective way to reduce peoples reliance on scripting is to introduce random elements to to make their scripts less effective, such as critical failures, or spoofable combat text.

Despite all the needless obfuscation, IRE's combat system is rather mechanical and pedestrian and lends itself excellently to botting. I am guessing this is largely due to how they make their money. Nobody wants to spend thousands of dollars to max their skills and get all the leet gear just to get pwnd by bad dice rolls or emote spam.
