For example, a player going afk while leaving a heavy object on the attack key has to be handled differently from regular bots.
“handled differently from regular bots” makes them what? Irregular bots(!) that automatic “classifier” (note: not IMC) cant define as bots (yet?).
They both have different meaning. Now you are adding your own meaning.
You shouldn’t add extra stuff to what they said.
Also, it’s a fact that they said that the afk player is having honest play.
the system is handling them differently theres nowhere mentioned that said users “shall not be reported through other ways” wich is why we got a forum for said people - also said “z key abusers” got banned already (guys who got reported by videos screens etc)
https://forum.treeofsavior.com/c/gameplay-reports/bot-reports^ thats where you report “z key bots”
imc only mentioned that the system has yet to be updated and optimized so we should not report them via the same to not hurt our own reputation
There is only one way:
@Staff_Julie
can we ask you to clarify this moment
From https://treeofsavior.com/news/?n=377
Does Z-afking player deemed as violating rules by IMC and should be reported via forums or tickets or they are “honest” players that should be simply ignored/not reported in any way?
Pretty please?
Ya, hope that will clarify everything.
But seriously, just add a time limit to Z holding already.
One night, I fell asleep holding the D key, and woke up to my character running on an invisible treadmill against a terrain wall.
True Story.
wont change a thing - answer to this are macros wich as good as every 50USD and up keyboard has implemented already “press and hold z key - lift key - press and hold z key - unlimited times” and prob solved for z key botters
Then they are easily bannable, because what they did is not in grey zone anymore.
They are using external program/features.
having a heavy object on your z key is legit then? and going afk for 12 hour - simple macros for your key or a heavy object are both the same thing and have both the same result - youre being away from keyboard while your char is gaining benefits for you wich is not the purpose of a game
Ignore all the pricks with negative comments and file a ticket. If you’re innocent, you’ll get unbanned with an apology and of course you get to demand some sort of compensation for the mix-up and humiliation.
I’m okay with it. That depends on IMC with their policy.
Tbh I’m okay with botting if the game allow it.
Except you can’t tell if that heavy object is uh… their finger.
@tstcbx4v1 You weren’t botting, you did nothing wrong. Next time just send in a ticket explaining your case - posting in this forum does nothing other than rally up all the self righteous retards to point fingers at you.
you kinda missed my reply
Is it really? I suppose talking to someone and not getting a reply is also proof enough that they’re botting? That’s actually you expecting a certain behavior from someone and if you don’t get it then they must be botting.
That’s honestly ridiculous.
are you serious?
if you drag a bot into a corner and he keeps attacking into one direction even there are NO mobs its not legit enough of said guy being afk farming and not “honestly” playing on his own?
“oh you kick me all the way into the corner with your icewall sure i will not react and move back i will riot and stay and attack air forever” … oh god ppl these days
I’m very serious - complete strangers won’t act the way you expect them to everytime (specially if they’re engaged in other activities such as watching a movie as OP).
You sound tilted 
yes sure if i kick somebody out of the grind area using icewall and he keeps attacking “air” for 10 minutes then its ofc my lack of understanding peoples behaviour - sorry i didn know that auto attacking air is the new e-sport in this game - its worth enough of a report - and GMs care for the rest - if you get banned then you got the banhammer for a reason
you act like i would be the one in charge for banning people
I already did, My friend. Before this post indeed.
They just takes time to answer.
So when nothing to play, I started this topic.
And I find reading some people’s logic here is enjoyable equally playing the game or movies.
I actually don’t. How did you get that idea? Someone like you would never be left in charge of anything 
Best of luck to you then!
