I donāt think every botter out there programs their own bot. 99.9% of all botters probably bought their bot program for cash. Thus, is the bot seller gives his bot a captcha solver all people who buy the bot will have captcha-solving bots.
Forgot IMC opened server for new saviors again. There is a 98% chance he/she still playing in secret and will not reply us in this account because he/she is ashamed.
Sorry, but I agree with him.
Itās just that you guys donāt understand a damn thing about botting and how to manage it, so itās rather pointless to argue with you.
Not even talking about your whole āGMs are lord of the game and should be venerated as suchā egotripā¦
Sometimes thereās desync issues that make bots look like theyāre running into walls. The jumping they only do if thereās a known collision box they canāt simply walk over, theyāll also start to swerve if jumping doesnāt help. Tested by trapping with my icewall.
If you still canāt see why the ban was justified, I donāt know what to tell you. The only thing you people are doing is making yourself look like his friends and/or botters yourselves.
If a police officer turns on his lights yet you know youāve done nothing wrong, do you ignore the police officer and keep driving? When the police officer pulls you over and arrests you, does the court of law care that you didnāt do anything wrong? No. Because you committed a crime by ignoring an authority figure.
What? Now Iām a botter because I dared to disagree with this herd? Oh well.
Then you failed to read.
Luck in what? Talking to a wall? No, thanks.
I prefer to talk with those who can comprehend what Iām saying and argue without: ālol uār botter/ someoneās friend / alt account / white knightā.
I am not a closed minded idiot despite what people think and Iām open minded and able to see other peopleās points of view but I just canāt understand this at all. Iāve tried. At first I thought you were just talking about the GM being more clear about things AND the chat window being able to be hidden and I agreed with that.
Then we seemed to be unable to agree that ignoring a GM when a video clearly shows that Avidity saw the GM and the GMās messages being sent and chose to ignore him while continuing to pretend to be a bot justifies a ban.
Thatās the only thing that I donāt understand with your logic and Iām trying, trust me I am. Because I was falsely banned for botting in Eden Eternal so my concerns for false bans are here. But in Eden Eternal no one messaged me and I saw no GM, it was just poof gone.
No, you understood it clearly.
We think that ignoring a GM casually asking you to answer him isnāt enough to warrant a lifeban.
Itās just a matter of ideas. Youāre fine with a MMO being a totalitarian regime, where a GM can ban you just because he can, weāre not.
Obviously, we canāt come to an aggreement.
Iām saying āweā, but maybe itās āIāā¦
He had what? 12 minutes to reply to that GM. Nothing unreasonable about it.
He had been suspected of casual botting and he publicly admitted to sympathizing with casual botters. Then he proceeds to act like a bot and bait a GM.
Even if he wasnāt botting, pretty easy to see why a GM would have come to the conclusion that he did.
Could he get unbanned? Maybe. But remember that IMC has the authority to permaban for any reason so it isnāt really an intelligent thing to do this to a GM, especially having made a public stance supporting casual botting in a previous thread.
Could a GM or IMC āfalselyā ban someone? Sure. But in this case there was nothing false about it.
Now what could the GMs do differently (but still doesnāt change Avidityās ban being justified)?
Use text that canāt be ignored or hidden despite user settings.
State that they will be banned if donāt reply.
Ask some basic math questions that a bot may not be able to solve automatically.
If the player refuses after this, then the he or she is banned under suspicion of botting. That is a very fair and reasonable approach.
Bot checking procedure is unreliable. The video showed this.
Now letās assume that we have 3 persons:
Person A ignored it.
Person B is a botter.
Person C is innocent.
All of them are getting banned. How many people that were banned after a such procedure should be unbanned?
My answer is ALL. Because they were banned under the wrong algorithm with a high probability of false-positives. No personal feelings like: āHe is a botter, liar and douchebag everyone knows itā or āHe is not a botter, he is a cool guy and my guildmasterā should be mixed here.
And if OP would be banned properly, he would not create a topic or there would be no discussion here. Only pure hatred and laugh.
