The best solution is aggressive NPCs to patrol where the autoers mine and chop wood. These NPCs would only know 3 words: Destroy the autoers! Aggressive NPCs are the very reason why you don't see autoers mining in Edgeville Dungeon, Chasm Mine, or Dwarven Mine. They would be destroyed. Instead, they mine in Rimmington, the Mining Guild, the Essence Mine, and anyplace where there are no NPCs to threaten them. The fact that they are in the Mining Guild really irritates me. :evil: Other than the occasional random event, which they survive 99 out of 100 times, there is absolutely nothing to deter them from cutting trees.
