well i can assure you that they dont

Edit: at least not around january last year

Fair enough it was an easy find.

@Release 219: Exoworlds

Fix to the bot protection system that was flagging regenerated blocks as dug-up.

It wasn’t a drop delay that got out of hand it was another bot protection:

Apologies.

EDIT: Meh, I kept reading and you know what:

@Release 219: Exoworlds

Release 219.2:

• Fixed additional cases of clients crashing when connection to the server is really horrifically bad.
• Fixed client crash when shooting a creature with a Rift slingbow with the Let 'em Bleed Boon.
• Fix bot-protection system for XP from manipulating the resource drops from recently mined blocks; this interacted badly with regen bombs to prevent resource drops from regenerated blocks that were recently mined. This is independent of the previously fixed issue where regen-bombs were flagging blocks as “dug-up”.

They appear to have had both systems running then. Or an attempt at it.

These issues really have cost a lot of dev time.
