Got banned for holding Z

Funny some people keep saying ZAFK is botting.
Because IMC says nah and ZAFK should be handle different from bot.

So you believe that playing the game while AFK should be allowed, you are obviously stupid

thats not what they are saying. You are twisting their words for your own benefit.

First of all, you shouldn’t be insulting me, you don’t know me and I don’t know you, but at least, I have some basic knowledge of what’s called “respect”.
Next, I’m probably older than you, so here again, you should have a little bit of respect for me.
Finally, I don’t consider leaving a finger on the Z key as being afk. You wanna know why? AFK means Away from the Keyboard, I think we can both understand that OP didn’t cut his finger and put it on the Z key while he was away, he was still in front of his keyboard, NOT using any program similar to botting.
That’s about it.

You only know what the OP tells you, I hardly doubt they sat there for hours with there finger on the key.

It’s quite clear that they put something on the key to keep it auto attacking while they were busy doing something else.

As per the Terms of Service this is a banable offence and has been rightfully banned for it, IMC certainly do need to be more clear about what they class as “Botting” however this is certainly one of them and I will continue to report anyone I see doing it.

Player’s that do this have an unfair advantage over those that don’t.

Is it unfair that you are too lazy to hold down the z key and want everyone banned who does?

It’s true we don’t know whether op is a liar or not. but if it was a one time offense where he was literally at the keyboard for an hour, tell me - what did he gain that you feel he gained so unfairly?

In an hours time are you telling me you can’t outlevel him and gain more by questing and progressing? If people wanna stand in one spot and autoattack who is it hurting?

If you think it’s hurting you or anyone else then you’re being an idiot. If anything the only one it hurts is op’s finger.

So Hawking can’t play TOS without botting.
Because he use something to press Z for him or even direct input an attack command and hold it, While busy solve a math.
He will be banned, And his ban is well deserved.
Poor Hawking.

I’ve stood in place in telnet garden before not auto attacking but being mostly afk watching ■■■■ in another window waiting for the panto spearman to spawn because he drops at item at 5% rate and spawns once every TEN MINUTES. If you ban people you see standing around attacking junk and being mostly afk you’re gonna end up falsely reporting people who are legit playing the game.

Do you expect me to stand there staring at a screen with nothing going on around mobs that don’t drop anything worthwhile, is it cheating that I use another screen to multitask?? I don’t get the logic.

What you people are missing is that if you left your autoattack on for an hour - it does infinitely less than someone’s pet at a higher level. It’s not unfair gains, you’re just babies.

Any form of this kind of game play should be a ban worthy offence purely down to the fact that you don’t actually know if the player is there.

IMC should be clear on this and hopefully they will make a post regarding it so other player’s don’t follow the same fate.

@Staff_Julie

wow dude are you for real? Are we gonna ban all the priests with buff shops for being afk and the squires who buff weapons next? Jesus christ man.

Why does it matter to you if you know the player is there or not. Whether they are there or not is literally none of your concern. If they’re not botting or cheating then maybe you should get your head out of your ■■■■■■■.

Why ppl just talking about term of service and such things?

If there is a problem shouldn’t we focus on fixing it first?

Like rly… if there is an exploit in the game we just leave it there put it in the terms and just keep banning ppl who fall for it?

I don’t say ppl who do such things are not guilty at all…but maybe otherwise they wouldn’t do other things that is bad. Exploits are not always that clear that they are exploits. In this case it is totally messed up because both of IMCs statement about it and the function is questionable.

But anyway unless they rly don’t care about it and they decide that it is considered botting… then they have to fix it… It is just not right to leave something that is bad in the game.

Are you totally clueless, auto attacking on the spot whether your using a 3rd party program or not is essentially botting plain and simple, why should I and others put hours into the game when player’s are able to stand there auto attacking when there not even at the computer, everyone would be doing it.

oh god. i searched you. you do in fact have an ebay account with 100% positive feedback.

lmao
dude your name tho

Except, they aren’t using any macro or bot to play for them in this scenario. They are literally using the same tools YOU have - your hands. Your opinion that it is “essentially” botting is not as good as the fact that it is literally, by definition, not botting or being afk.

The only thing that should be up for debate here is whether or not this user is lying. Since none of us actually know and only IMC would be able to tell.

In the OP’s original post it states that “got something hold button” meaning they stuck something in there keyboard to hold down the key while they were doing something else.

@tstcbx4v1
So you created an alt account just to make this irrelevant post to make yourself look “more legit”?

P.S. Gotta love coincidences:

OP’s forum name is so common that there are lots of look-alikes. Ehhh?

You were handled differently from regular bots.

After all, they banned you while enjoying a movie and holding a button, too.

Which is as valid and logical a method as your name.

Why don’t you tag staff to look into this.
If you are so sure all tst-ish people is me.

You know this debate is useless, send a ticket to the GM team, we, as players, can’t do anything for you except debating whether you should be unbanned or not.

ummm nope, they are using “something” to make the Z key get stuck > change page or go away, and come back after some time it might be 1 hour or more, but they are essentialy not playing the game while the game is being playing by “itself” he’s not moving, he just stands there, waiting for mobs to come in and the Z-key being pressed will kill everything.

If you can’t play, don’t leave something to play for you, from a heavy object on the Z key to a software that makes the character moves & attack.
