lol I was playing this game back when the founder’s pack came out before I stopped playing after a couple of months; I decided to stop by to check on the status of the community and its fun to read these same exact posts as I was reading since about week 2 of launch. IMC has been mass banning bots since this game has came out, and from reading this thread it appears they still don’t have a solution. I’m starting to wonder how many of the exp and reset scroll compensations I have missed out on XD I’ve basically seen this exact post soooooo many times after IMC would post how many illicit users they banned that I feel sad for the people still believing =(
I usually try not to be toxic but I have to say this…if they are not capable of doing the job, why even start it? Now the biggest mystery is why the heck they just wont add more staffs when they are clearly showing tons of signs of understaff. Are they even trying to make ToS do well?
maybe when that couple of month u stop…that the time IMC become so lazy…a month bot in tenet still dominating…or i think maybe even 2 month bot…and a month still no update ban list…no active GM asking problem after maintenance…there day 2x a week ban list…and active gm keep asking ppl the problem or bug
Maybe the GM’s are a little more active, back when I was here there was 1 active GM who talked to the community regularly and she vanished shortly into the launch. I’m glad if GMs are actively talking now, but the fact of the matter is people are still posting these same exact posts and the amount of bots doesn’t appear to be decreasing by any substantial numbers from what I’m reading browsing through these new and old threads. Soooo many banned bots back then, and soooooo many banned bots still after a little more than half year later. I was actually coming here in hopes I wouldn’t see the same old threads I seen back during the first couple of months and guess what? The new threads are complaining about the SAME exact thing we were over half a year ago, but hey as long as you are having fun 
Indeed, Good Job IMC! <3
I don’t think bot is the answer to fix the market. If we have more legit people playing then we will have the market flourish with good stuffs. It’s just that the game is dying and does not have enough players to provide supplies for our demands.
To OP; well written. The devs deserve some praise here and there. Ignore most of the toolbags here who’ve never spent a cent on the game. They contribute nothing but hue-tard post.
For those who say; white knight. Please look up the actual term for what white knighting it. Unless IMC is a person, sand female. Then, carry on. There are no white knights. Only those who wish the game to get better, those who want to watch everything burn because IMC touch their naughty parts, and the hue-tards who mostly play the forum game because I’ll assume Brazil is just that boring.
my apology
I wont call u guys whiteknight anymore, if you nitpick on definition
I’ll proceed calling u guys, Fertilizer, as negative-forumer are called Toxic
I think Fertilizer befitting you whiteknights
cheers~
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
I’m far from your misguided white knight, comment. I’m just old enough, mature enough, and realize this “video game” hasn’t harmed me in any such way that I feel the need to repeatedly comment mentally challenged post filled with hue.
Not specifically talking about you sir
I don’t see whiteknights complaining people calling them whiteknights though…
anyway, u n I, we are cool bro~
huehuehuehue
fluffy white knight?
man …whiteknighting is overused these days
similar to how meme were overused
too many toxic
way too many toxic
and MayMay …I somehow hate you since I found you rather annoying for some unknown reason, you should be glad tho
and I like haukinyau1 …for unknown reason lol
Fluffy Huffy White Knight!
That’s two unknown reasons there @_@
of course!
1 is a good unknown reason
another is annoying annoying unknown reason
I feel sorry for this somewhat optimistic thread turning into something otherwise. But it can’t be helped…
I’ll probably jump to the hate bandwagon since whit-I mean, optimistic people missed the point of the second post and the rants of others here.
Banning the minority doesn’t stop the majority.
Putting the bot’s team name in a line of codes towards banning is easy.
So does making another Steam account.
So does making another character.
This is just like an epidemic. You don’t stop it from just curing the infected. You find the cause and prevent it from spreading or damaging the body.
The problem is that bots won’t stop “botting” even if they get banned. You need something to prevent them from coming back.
I am glad that someone feels grateful for their activity. That is nice nonetheless.
But there is a reason why many isn’t. Just like what I stated above.
Like i said, i dont expect IMC to find the major problem…i just appreciate they make a move in Itos…
a month ago IMC so lack of communication and service…bad compesation…like i said 2 month both with same name still there…no active gm ask for problem after maintanance…resulting in player anger and some quit…
i appreciated them because they dare to make a move and improve their service…i dont expect them to do the major problem…
u know, u cant just stop people from botting, even if u ban their steam acc, band IP…there always a way to do botting, usually people that do this always have high or medium knowledge about computer…they can just easily create new one…
But if u keep banning them actively…u didnt give them period to farming and selling or buying…they will feel the pressure…the reason why so much bot before because they have no pressure…they can just easily place their bot for over a month and let the cash roll without having ban…but now i see decreasing in bot…still have but not so much…this because if ur bot keep getting ban…u dont have time to reroll and farming…u only have period of 24hr farming before u getting ban…and the next day u need to create new one…and next to 2 day getting ban again…u know some botter moral will go down…
the only way to completely stop botter is to make them irrelevant…u make silver so easy drop, mats and those thing that need to farm…because u can easily get silver and item…why should people buy from bot if they can just easily get those…the other way around is completely block all trade, means u need to farm yourself…but this way will hurt the player so so so much.
like i say the only effective way is to actively banning them by having active staff…have u ever seen MMO that infected with bot can cure them?..u tell me which MMO can completely kill the bot.
Drakensang online xD, Grim dawn, Diablo 3, Star wars the old republic
The important thing isnt banning those little bots. Everyone knows that it is a waste of time. To deal with botters, you need to find out the client/customer/intention of the botter. It doesnt matter how large the scale of a botter is, gererally they have a ‘collector’ account or sometimes the main account. They usually wont risk those collector account. Whenever those little bots collected a certain amount of items or silver, they will transfer those items to the collector character to prevent loss from ban. Common sense tells us that bots will never give anyone free stuff. Doesn’t matter who the botters trade with, those people must be either the ‘actual bot owner’s main character’ or ‘collector character’ or ‘some random RMT player’. All players fall into these categories are in some way guilty to cheating thus deserve ban. Those small scale/bot program buyer player wont have the patience to endure constant bans on main accounts. If you cant get much from the bots, it will be pretty much useless to bot. Does IMC ban people who trade with the bots? Meh this is too complicated for IMC. And they keep saying they have access to some sort of player activity log…
