Lets discuss about BOTs issues/ improve report bot system

General Discussion
#1

As i know, ive seen alot of bots especially in Tenet Church, Dina Bee Farm, Demon prison district 2, i wonder the how the report bot button works in the system of ToS. It is irritating when player have to farm, do quest and do something in the map and the bots are everywhere.

What come in my mind is, when a player suspect another player is botting and the report bot button are clicked, suspected player enter a invulnerable stats ( just like talking to npc) and captcha screen will appear in the suspected player to test is bot or not. If the captcha screen is idle for more than 2 mins, it will kick out from the server and banned for few hours before the next log in.

any comment for this kind of solution to resolve bot issue? or any improvement can made from this?

Not only that, i can see others abusing it and causing trouble, like DBF afkers or someone from one guild to other disturbing with that.

I already suggested other thing, a monster that spawn in that same area that have and invisible buff (no icons or graphical effects) that make it take 1 damage, who is playing will know that it is the special monster, a software can`t figure that out, at least i think not, if the bot kill that monster the system will automatically lock the char in place:

  • The char can’t move or attack or use skills or use warp scrolls or any other movement item/skill, he can log out or close the client but not change channels, if he exit the game and re-enter, the char will be under the lockdown effect same way till a GM come check on the char, not having an answer for about 1 or 3 mins, the GM can take the necessary actions.

Then again, i am no programmer, but i know this would take a hell of a time to be codded, not only that but, the bots devs might be able to figure something out like make the software recognize the monster by the damage number (1 damage) or move out after 2 or 3 hits.

But in all honesty, i would prefer a heavy security system than a heavy restricted game.

Tree of restrictions. But you know, even if you come with a good coded solution there will be bugs anyway, and exploit of course.

But seriously, captcha is a crap solution. Why not make a second password when you log in, that you can only press the numbers with your mouse and everytime you log in the numbers will be at a random location. At least the log in won’t be automated. Who knows what those bot guys can do.

Someone would just make an addon to bypass captcha most likely.

Unless character that logins is instantly put in somekind of debuff that gets dispeleld once captcha or something else is completed.
