Get better macro protection..?

"I think I'll create a thread suggesting better macro protection."
"Huh? Why are so many people against macro protection?"
"Oh, they rely on them."

I think a lot of people have posted a lot of other reasons to be against. Valid ones too.

Reasons such as "It would be a waste of time" and "I don't feel like implementing that."

you have your answer already. what are you still doing here, other than throwing a fit

[Atherman]

Talking about the topic at hand. What have you done in this thread besides throw out random not related blurbs of nonsense here and there?


I mean artificially inflating your post count must be nice but not at the cost of sacrificing your integrity.

[Jackard]

you realize just how many threads on this subject have been made? you have nothing useful to offer.

[Atherman]

I've yet to see you offer a usual piece of information or insight. Matter of fact all I see you do is blabber against people with personal insults or thoughtless non-responding quotes.

Is it that time again already?

Here's your epic contribution to the thread. Thanks for the effort man.

No, valid reasons.

Granger for example enjoys metagaming more than gaming. He likes to find out how much he can automate, tinkering with the games systems is more fun to him than the game itself. Free to play games are often a haven for people who enjoy that, as are modding communities.

Jorb is rightfully wary of instituting controls over the players, as such things have a tendency to grow into monstrosities. Each step seems logical and reasonable, until you look back at the path you've taken and where you have ended up.

I think it would be silly to drive away players who are helping you gain information that would be needed in a live situation, although somewhere along the line the question of whether or not to do something about it should probably be addressed.

I think that you generate a lot of ill feeling towards your game if you shanghai people about the legitimacy of taking advantage of the system. You need to be upfront and say bots, macros, exploits of any kind will not be punished, simply because it is counter to expectations, and no one likes nasty surprises. On the flipside, if playing the system is not intended to be a feature, you need to start working out your solutions at some point, even if it's not fun

You should go back and actually read what jorb wrote. You clearly have problems with reading as all of your posts have indicated repeating what was previously said, misunderstanding what was written, and you (as well as Atherman) continuously posting ideas that are overused, overthought of, and would take even someone with a base IQ of 75 less than a minute of thinking to find out how bad it would be to implement.

Continuing to post in this thread is useless to you, jorb has already posted his views (several times since you didn't catch it the first time) and as it seems is not changing.

As for your 'is it safe or not', how about you read his posts and think it through.

Wondering why I toned it down. Some people go out of their way to earn it.
