Lawman Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 People were begging for information on fighting bots, but you pointedly ignored the topic. Please, Juji, tell us why, and how you plan to deal with the issue (and with RMT, too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHips Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 bots are no longer a problem on retail so it makes sense they think they can control them on classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferimeth Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 After all these years, there's nothing to talk about when it comes to that man, For every mistake there's a solution, the same for hacking. It's down to the supervision team to detect who is and who isn't, the development of the game's security as well. Anything that is free to play will always have its less pleasant sides, if the team is working hard, there won't be many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLinden Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 they dont have courage for it. We can say bot is "allowed" by that.... They even added 2 catacombs just for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatHips Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 bots are not even remotely a problem on retail servers, currently. I did not say they don't exist. They always will with free2play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try farm C grade on Varkas now! Try farm C grade in ToI ... 80 players die so easy to Varkas mobs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attack Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 They do not discuss bots, because banning people means less numbers in already limited population. They already showed they are against them by removing auto loop on macros. I believe banning bots will keep normal players having a better time, thus spending more time on the game.

attack Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 You also, the players, can control bots, report bots when you see, train them, block them, don't buy with real money from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Userbaer Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 God thx they disabled the drops on death.....hopefully they wont let that happen on classic but well we will see how much bots will come. Sadly that this video is from 5.9.2018 and they dont do anything again them....just 1 gm could ban them but seems like there is not 1.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawman Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 True enough. I do as much of those things as I can. But you know there will be lots of people who do buy from them. And others who will use bot scripts to automate pvp. Only NCWest is in a position to stop bots completely and, by electing to make Classic f2p instead of subscription, they made the task much more difficult. I'm not even sure they are going to try, which is why I keep pressing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorda Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 as far as it goes for classic, skelth did had some bots but the drop upón death chance was the best countermeasure ever... i dont really know what devs are thinking by letting free to play and removing this %drop chance... its like a invitation. for g sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juji says it’s because they are worried about players using it to grief other players. What they didn’t take into account was that players also use it to grief bots. I hope they reconsider. If players are playing live, which they will be now because there are no looping macros, I’m not too worrrid about groups of live players being trained. It’s a balancing act for sure, but the grief it causes to bots far outweighs the possible griefing of other live players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawman Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Technically, you are right about using drop on death to fight bots. But I'll bet anything that most people who want it really just want the free stuff (and perhaps the thrill of preying on people) and don't really care whether they are preying on bots or other real people. Several of the most vocal people on this forum even admit it. I'm quite happy they've eliminated drop on death. Frankly, if I had to choose between a server full of predators or a server full of bots, I'd choose the bots. But we shouldn't have to choose. Bots can be controlled in other ways.

I’d rather have the server of predator with no bots or scripting. At least it would be fair fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawman Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hardly, Jon. The predators would prey on those not as powerful as they are. Not even close to a fair fight. Anyway, my point was it shouldn't be either/or. Let's get rid of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mage Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Does the exp loss on death delvl chars now? If so that could be used as a bot fighter too..delvl to lvl 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that could be used as a bot fighter too..delvl to lvl 1. but botters dont care about xp, u would even be helping by dlvling his spoil. they work on profit, if u drop some bot weapon he will ofc feel the loss. thus making less ppl botting cause of literally no profit. and by griefers, ppl who tend to prey on others usually are stronger and fewer. but as they do it and get known of doing it their clans/parties gets targeted and ppl rally together to fight them, this is lineage2. half of the stuff is politics and confrontations we want a hardcore classic version or a soft? whts the point of making it classic if its going to be carebear as hell? well make giran "no drop" and talking island server with "death drop" after 2 months which server will have less bots?
