I wonder why GM do not randon survey Ban BOT in town . It will help a lot recovery abusing BOT.
I just example for gold seller bot not include BOT on field. If GM could survey suspicious BOT on site is the great treat no matter what they don’t we can report . So i hope report BOT lead as happy play once your team can BAN as quick as you can , expect not over 1&half day.
Because the bot will automatically be recreated within minutes to an hour after the GM banned it.
Literally will look like this:
It is very difficult for GMs to do such things if they have little to no presence in the game let alone on the forums. I’d be more concerned on IMC working on fixing the game to a somewhat playable state. Be happy that IMC does ban bots - so make sure to use the report bot feature in the game.
Well I am not programmer so I do think that it easyly to create stream account . I could be take time. I hope to do something than do nothing, BTW It just my opinion.
Thank you for sharing.
Less manpower , Right . We always reach heaven every haha
Banning IP’s can be difficult when people are behind proxys/vpns and you can end up banning the IP of an access point/repeater, like what happened in Grand Fantasia/Eden Eternal (I forget which it was, I was playing both at the time) and they accidentally banned the node for the whole of china.
All you can really do about the advertising bots is to make them jump through as many hoops as possible.
eg: You must finish the first main quest in the starting area before you can go to the city. This should force them to physically play the first area without automation as some of the quests require interacting with items that spawn in random spots and cant be targeted to determine their position. Some bot automations can still complete quests but only ones with fixed locations and target-able objectives. This would only affect them slightly as they still have an unlimited resource (time) to get around what ever is placed in their way but it’s 1 more hoop than the current zero.
