Anti Bots System

Suggestions
#1

Greetings, Developers.
I have thought of an idea that might get rid of bots more efficiently.

It seems that you guys are having a hard time eliminating the bots; and that’s understandable. You wouldn’t want to ban a legit player so you have to take your time and be cautious making sure the character or account you’re banning is really a not. Bots are annoying and they cause traffic and they need to be get rid off immediately. So why not let us, players, do so? By that, I mean PK (a different kind of PK). Add a feature to let players kill other players so that we can kill bots. But not just kill, this should also decrease their experience points dramatically that it would most of the time lead them to leveling DOWN. Also, we should be allowed to steal silvers and items after killing them. That should piss them off.

Now I know what you’re thinking. What if we end up killing REAL players? Well, as I said. This PK will be different. It will only be used against bots and prove that they ARE bots. So in order to make this safe, Player A (the PK’er) will send some sort of request to Player B(the suspect). A PK Request, rather. The request will be a simple Yes or No type. A question will show up Player B’s screen asking if he/she would like to accept the duel or not. Player B must answer within 30 (or more if you want) seconds. If the time limit runs out, Player A will have the permission to terminate Player B and have all the glory for him/herself.

Healthy for the game, more fun for the players. What do you think? :slight_smile:

It is not a good idea. I usually will sit at the safe area in the map and AFK. It makes me save my time for walking back from a city.

#3

lol, i would like to find you, and keep request PK with you :grin:

2 problems:

  1. AFKers will get PKed because they won’t be able to respond
  2. Bots can simply answer ‘No’ to the pop-up

We have that feature already, it’s called friendly duel request.
But what you’re asking for is duel request with a timeout that defaults to yes which would be incredibly easy to program a bot to look for the window and autoclick no leaving the feature as a griefing tool for players.[quote=“hudysu, post:1, topic:267092”]

this should also decrease their experience points dramatically that it would most of the time lead them to leveling DOWN. Also, we should be allowed to steal silvers and items after killing them. That should piss them off.

This would certainly lead to abuse and exploits and is a hilariously bad idea given that players can’t directly bank silver.

#6

just create a system where after you rejected a duel, you cant be duel within 5 min? that would be fine

this might be a real problem here…

#7

then bot can just create a reject PK system to reject the duel and then they are good for 5 mins

#8

then try suggest something which will stop the BOT :wink:

#9

you could just use search, there is alot of topic about it, and some of it i already make some suggestion
like one of this

#10

Another problem is:
What if the player who is suspected to be a bot just happens to click on the screen the moment the PK requests pops up? For example if he wanted to talk to a NPC who just happens to be on the same spot where the “YES” button will pop up.’

“Oh, you found a problem with my idea? Then come up with a better idea!” is not really a good answer. It’s not like we’re not trying to find a better solution, however it’s very hard to come up with a solution that actually works and that is not absolutely inconvenient to legal players. Don’t be frustrated that your idea doesn’t work and that others found flaws in your idea. Don’t tell users “Oh yea? then do it better!”, take it as constructive criticism, aka “Oh, i didn’t think about that. Thank you for pointing out the flaws in my idea. That way i can try to fix and improve my idea”. :slight_smile:

Good job at suggesting something that WILL make the life of RMTers so much easier.

#12

i totally agree with you, we need to improve the suggestion ( although this is not my idea )

suggest -> improve -> more suggestion -> more improvement.

thats how it should works.

I believe most of the people here are trying to find a solution for BOTs, but someone here just criticize other’s people idea without contributing, and he sounds like he totally agree with BOTs ( who knows, he might be 1 of the BOTer ). thats why i ask him suggest a better one :stuck_out_tongue:

this doesn’t solve your spamming ussue. you can gatcha spam some1 until he is unable to play the game. same as you spam PK
