That doesnât work. A botter can get a second account on just to send him some questions from time to time and the bot will answer. That will lock any other player from doing these questions and the bot will be able to work without interuptions.
That would also promote harassment. Someone ks your mob or you want someone to be removed from an area you want to farm, ask your guild mates to spam him with messages and he canât play anymore.
A good solution anti-bot is using captcha each 30min-1h of gameplay. If you donât solve the captcha then you canât play. Give a fair 5 minutes warning to player about the captcha so he wonât be doing that while fighting a boss.
whether the system do that normally where its spawn field boss on that place. (Havenât been staying in the mines too long) That would be a great Idea
There is a certain time that boss spawn and kills the hell out of those BOTS then poof disappear. It should be unkillable which means, Every non afk player âSHOULDâ run away. For those AFK/Bots will be dead in an instant.
If any negative impact please feel free to explain and offer other suggestions.
There are a lot of people against this idea, but I think if implemented properly it would work great.
you can not flag AFK people
a person can only be flagged at most once every hour
you can only give out 1 flag every hour, and can not flag the same person more than once a day
if you flag someone, and they pass the captcha, you can not flag anyone else for 6+ hours
the CAPTCHA is non-intrusive, and gives you up to 5 minutes to solve it (but is simple enough to solve that you should be able to quickly solve it mid-boss fight if you run to a corner)
logging out without solving the CAPTCHA will prompt you to solve it as soon as you log in.
failing the CAPTCHA will automatically log you out, and put you on a GM watchlist
passing a CAPTCHA will put you on a GM watchlist as well, but the watchlist will simply say you passed it (bots can pass CAPTCHAs - someone who is consistently flagged as a bot but passes CAPTCHAs should be looked into by a GM)
âabuse of the flag system is punishable wit ha temporary banâ should be added to the Terms of Service
mhh, i think a system that asks the player if heâs there or not⌠maybe with a code even. every 1hour or somethingâŚ
you could make a window that showâs a random generated code that you have to type in. little annyoing but will do, i guessâŚ
I like the idea, but it should be a small pop up so it doesnât disturb our gameplay,
we should get something like 50% HP/SP heal when we put the code in,
so it rewards active players and caution bot/AA abuser, if they do it again -> BAN<-.
It should not appear in the village, just on level maps and maybe not while sitting (bonfire or real afk).
hmmm⌠some newb with the name âEnhirgmaâ or something, told us yesterday that he will report us because we weâre grinding on construction chapel and that we are bot since we only do spamming of zaibas (he canât auto afk KS because the mobs melt before he can hit.) then we sit for SP regen.
I wonder if itâs the TS⌠Makes me laugh inside my head. ayyyy LMAO.
Anyways, the captcha thing would be great, maybe 30mins- 1hr.
Will get rid of AFK Barbarian KSers on chapel tooâŚ
A Captcha pop-up every 30mins-1hr.
The captcha will pop-up every 30mins-1hr and will stay there for 5 minutes or something, then you need to type and submit the captcha codes to prove that you are present. After 5 minutes has passed and you still didnât submit the code, youâll be disconnected from game and will throw you out on the Server Selection, Lodge or maybe completely close the game itselfâŚ
AFKing mindless person spotted⌠You hate every suggestions against AFK/BOT so much eh?
You donât want a ban, also you donât want a simple DISCONNECTION⌠lol
No i agree with @setsuko pretty much every idea in here is awful. We need something to deal with bots BUT you canât give control of it to players because it will create trolling and harassment and it canât be one of those dumb ass code things because it will annoy people and they wont want to play. It needs to be something automated and built in to the system to detect them on its own somehow.
loool and that is why lil whiny spoiled good for nothing kids exist these days :), also probably why trolling is seen as a fairly acceptable and funny behavior instead of just a life drag worthy of being thrown into an island isolated from the rest of society o.o
Yup, there has to be a way of implementing order when authority is not recognized/respected. Here in Europe itâs already recognized as a problem when you spank your kids, they use a fancy word to say its a problem⌠i smell wannabe-psicologists that never even had a kid
lol probably not. i havenât had any kids yet but i got a light smack in the back of the head when i did something stupid, gotta say i learnt fast to not do it again.
