If that was a metric that they looked at, then it wouldn't have taken them 2 years to figure out people were scripting The Crucible.
Yes and no, they just knew that people spawned Crucible instances... if they didn't have who spawned it and how long it was spawned they could have had a clue.
Just that it was a popular quest for some reason. It really depends on what the metric is :
- Quest Spawn
- Quest Spawn and spawn length
- Quest spawn, Spawn length, unspawn reason
- Quest spawn, Spawn length, unspawn reason, Spawning Account
- Quest spawn, Spawn length, unspawn reason, Spawning Account, Party Leader
....
The first one just give them how many time in a day ( since it's obvious such log is timestamped ) a given instance is created.
the last one can give them a clear view that something is going on ( Reason = Reset, Account and Leader repeated many times in a row... with a very short spawn length )
