Is it normal to constantly get PK'ed by people farming adena using the auto hunt option when your pushing out dailies? No, that doesn't happen. Also botting in MMORPG communities has received an upgrade using A.I. to detect patterns of impossible human behavior and systematic patterns that are not possible with 12 lines of "sanctioned" auto-play - since 2015/2016 period. Blizzard Entertainment was the first company to implement A.I. to detect illegal software use for World of Warcraft and eventually NC followed with L2. Those who complain today and try to sound like I don't know what I'm talking about and there are still botting... well, let me tell you, they probably never seen when the WHOLE server was botting up to the eyeballs - especially PVP. Nowadays, it's kind of like the Don Corleone family in Godfather... those who kiss Don's ring (the Lord of the Ring), may get special pass - especially if you are commercial affiliated aka "farming" and you don't engage in player-to-player combat. PvP using botting program is a BIG NO NO can be caught by A.I. and you will be banned. Edited January 22, 2020 by GhostintheShell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooArcher Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) although NA ncsoft GMs do nothing about botting because it would almost be a fulltime job, insert empathy here concerning thier poor proformance and still getting paid todo nothing besides wait for miracle patch in update. still you should report, make them see that yea.. they still are not doing an aspect of their job. So easy to spot some bots just knowing how game works.. like watching bots do a skill like pheonix arrow, poison cloud, or snare that requires user input moving it around 24/7. Ive reported such bots, never seen anything happen to them. GMs seem to not login, on main GM or even undercover to do anything... makes you wonder what if anything their job really is.

It's been like that for a very long time. Edit: I remember that when I created my Feoh (around 2 years ago), some player kept accusing me of using a bot at Arms of Timnel. He was a bit annoying, was calling me names and threatened he had reported me etc. Now I finally know this must have been because I had snare in my macro Edited January 22, 2020 by Helv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReaperGG Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 What name shaming? So basically you only need to beat around the bush and never actually doing something about it. what about the other posts? U cut us off from very very important in game items that other regions have FOR FREE only so you can then later propose ''events'' (sales) and have us pay to get them otherwise we would be less and less unable to compete at the endgame? Why dont you install GameGuard or ANY other program that would detect 3rd party programs, any Antibot-Antiscript protection? U talk about the games code of conduct where is you doing your part to actually ensure the players time is being spent enjoyably? where is the code of conduct from the management team to their player base? @EmperorLeto 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators EmperorLeto Posted January 23, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2020 Please calm down, ReaperGG. A lot of you guys seem to forget that the Moderation Team is NOT, and I reapeat, NOT participating in any game related development. We are here to keep the peace and uphold the rules given to everyone and us. So even if we wanted to change something, we are poweless to do so in the forums. -Leto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI is getting pretty good at doing a variety of tasks but they have limitations. "Scripts" for chugging CP pots and radar were the big PVP things I'm not aware of anyone actually using a bot to pvp as bots are pretty dumb when it comes to target selection in such a scenario. Sony Microsoft and valve have spent quite a lot of time and money trying to build AI systems to catch cheaters and while they have made progress the technology is still very limited in it's abilities.

Used to be able to use the skill once click the ground and then the macro would auto cast in that same spot every loop. It's been several years since I played on live so I'm not sure if it's still possible. if you play with it a bit I bet you'll find out.

ffs Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 also @EmperorLeto please point out to us which of the terms of conduct you interpret as name shaming because i took the time to read them and found no term prohibiting the posting of videos showing people doing something illegal based on the agreement we all accept to play the game concerning the use of 3rd party programs. if you cannot recognize the bot behavior i;m not sure we can move this conversation further until you get us in contact with an "expert" so we can see who is braking which code of conduct here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
