I don’t know if this is completely relevant, but uh… When you report bots, do gold spammers count? I hope reporting gold spammers isn’t the wrong way to be using this ;w;
RIP, now bots can report their clones and get easy silver too

I would think they still count as bots. They are automated to spam text all day.
I just want a pat in the back and be told that I spotted a bot and that they banned it. I do not want items, I do not want silver, I want some recognition even if it comes from an automated message.

who’s talking about hading out silver?
What if it were exp tomes? For every 5-10 rightfully reported bots. They’re character bound, bots or gold sellers wouldn’t be ablte to do all too much with it, they can’t sell it, they can’t trade it.
But a regular player would appreciate it.
Or something similar.
Maybe with milestones 50 /100 / 250 reports > stat / skill reset potions.
As long as I see less bots, the market doesnt become super inflated; ill be happy. Dont need any reward. A notice bot#1 was banned would be satisfying, but is unneeded.

And so the bot wars started. 
A Message or notice would be enough for me, I like the game and I want it bot free, I’m satisfied with them gone.

No no no! NO SILVER REWARDS!
You want to create another way to farm silver for them?! Duh…
Getting them banned is good enough for me.
Lol @ this thread
You folks complain about bots all week and then complain further when IMC gives you the ability to help them remove bots. Ridiculous

It’s probably only because of this news post:
That’s why people are wondering about it.
That’s why the on-screen message is an interesting option.
(inb4 bots made to report other bots in order to farm faster)
Are you a child? Sounds like it.
No one wants anything but a botfree server I’m sure. I don’t want handouts.
Dota 2 does this and gives you feedback. And I love it.
You get limited reports that refill, but if you report someone deserving of punishment, and they do get punished, you get your report back along with a friendly message saying someone got punished because of you and thanking you for helping make it a friendlier place.
Great stuff.
the “reward” you get is a cleaner world. how about that? kids today are so greedy and feel they should be awarded for everything, even those that benefit themselves. it’s sickening
That’s actually interesting. It could work by increasing the number of reports from effective players. How quickly do they process those reports btw?
@NotSoAccurateNo1
As for a more “monetarily significant” reward, it will likely not promote reporting behavior. Rewards have to come soon after the act is done to promote itself (preferably immediately). If it takes them a week to process the report and ban the bot, they’re going to have to give a very substantial (perhaps unfairly so) reward for it to cause any behavioral change with that kind of delay.
I.E. You sell an item for a high price on the marketboard. It is rewarding to get the message and you feel encouraged to go farm some more to get more of the item to sell. It feels less rewarding if the message and Silver arrives 48 hours later.
I say give 5 Silver for each bot ban so those people wanting the compensation get soemthing in exchange of his click =)

Making the game better is the best reward
Rewards can be a good bribe to make people move or feel more motivated? You can see this method on real life, so i also think it is good if there are some rewards but not through silver. Maybe achievement or exp tome.
First, you are not obligated to report bot, so it’s not a job but rather voluntary activities. The reward? Making you game better by kicking bots ass. I am happy to do this all day.
Second, any of you ever consider how bot can abuse this reward system? 5 silver sounds legit, anything higher than that will be abused. Perhaps an achievement for correctly reporting bot?
EDIT: second thought, perhaps having bots reporting bot is good for the game… However my point is don’t let this system becomes a way of earning silver. If it is the market inflation gonna hit like a ■■■■ storm.
