Well kind of but the problem is that if all of the reporting players are wrong then all of them get lowered ratings. Once enough people report the check is done and as far as I can tell if all players who reported were wrong they all lose rating.

I feel the same with OP. As much as Iâd like to report these sorcerers, what they are doing is perfectly legal within legal boundaries. But that doesnât mean that I like it or feel that itâs fair. Nothing I can do about it though.
Anyway, the reason why I believe this is a current issue is because these sorcerers are monopalizing the spawn in there. It would be great if they just occupied one section and competed with each other but that isnât the case. Instead, since there is so much competition for silver, the competition has spread out into the entire spawn area. This leaves nothing behind for other players that require kills for questing. In fact, last night I saw at least 8 sorcerers summoning temple shooters on EVERY channel (1-6) at around 12AM in the morning in Dina Bee Farm. Youâd expect people to sleep and be able to farm your own thing but this is just ridiculous
Another point is that the Sorcerer summon is AI driven, meaning that those who arenât sorcerers/necromancers/bokor (or any other class that depends on AI), must compete flesh against machine. Hard work and time and effort versus someone that presses a buttone ever 15-30mins or so will be percieved as unfair despite legal rules. Itâs like those people in real life complaining that machines took their job etc. etc.
Anyway,
Is AFK summoning legal? Yes.
Is this viable for bot reporting? No.
Is this in a morally grey area? Yes.
Should there be rules and regulations behind this to help other players continue their quest/farm a bit? Probably.
My suggestion is that these farmers should work together and agree to only set-up in only one particular area. Leaving a spawn area for those that which to do quests. But whatâre the chances of that. Itâs like asking someone to stop thinking for themselves and start thinking of others. Haha! Who doesnât love being selfish and not help others? sigh
Maybe if we all practiced a little self-control and a little less greed, we could all make this game a happier place.

as far as i know. they mainly take up the spots with the most sprawn.
and truth be told, itâs controlled by a community,just like how the world bosses are being controlled.
itâs a sad truth, that is why i seldom go grinding in fields ,just daily mission and dungeon,thatâs it.
but wat imc CAN do (and yes i am gonna spoil it for the farmers)
is to reduce the amount of silver u can gain from monsters that are overly high lvled.
the players there arent even grinding actually ,they are just farming for silver,
some sorc are so over lvled that they hardly die.
so players cant blame sorc for afk farming,but they gotta do something about the silver drop according to lvl.
Yeah I think peak players is roughly 25-30k in any given 24 hour period according to steam charts. This would be reduced quite a bit when looking at only a single server population though.
But really consider that if say 10k players were residing on klaipeda and 1000 players reported someone as a bot you would have 10% of the entire servers population flagging that target. That is kind of a lot really. Also consider if 10% of all players continued to do this and gained crap index ratings what the impact is. I mean 10% could still gain a crap rating by carelessly flagging other players but the impact of directly losing 10% of the populations âvoting powerâ this way has a decent impact on the entire system as a whole.
This system isnât perfect and I donât really expect something like this to be flawless either. I like the idea of a system like this one I think it holds quite a bit of value in general regardless of how well it ends up working. The whole idea of machine learning combined with individual player ratings based on how well you do at reporting accurately is an amazing concept to put into practice in a game like this one. Even if this system ended up failing really bad there is a LOT to learn from using something like this.
