Bot solutions : Salem's not allowed to do better than you

This message was on a recent patch of Salem... when do we get this?


Bot Tracking
I've written new traffic Messages for more automated tracking as requested by Marp. Please take this as a reminder that I will now receive more server messages than normal regarding highly repetitive actions. I will as such, be utilizing "Salem Man" more often. If he shows up, and witnesses botting, he will become very angry and start torching bases. So take this as yet another warning that automating complex salem tasks is not acceptable.

I guess it's time for this thread again.

dont salem botters just say "Oh, they're scripts/macros/etc" and then the devs turn a blind eye?

because thats how it was a few months ago.

One presumes if this happens they are at their computer and paying attention to the game. That's less of an issue.

I mean...

Bots are bots. And I'm pretty sure that's also not how those encounters went.

Salem is corrupt as fuck lol, he is probably only doing this to have a reason to get his rocks off by destroying bases with dev powers

Also if I had bots for Salem I'd just go cut down trees and dig soil outside of bases of people that I didn't like to get them nUked. It's not the best system

Best argument against, lack of verifiability.

we need more bots on haven

Pretty sure those dev powers would let them see who is doing it, at least what accounts, and the IP logged in from. I think the bigger issue is some of the "spam messages" that have caused the same type of server lag we've seen here, such as someone making a bot to quickly shove through a few hundred commands to the server in a second or two. Put a timer on that shit and people won't lag the server out all the time, and anyone repeatedly abusing the server gets their account banned. A good script writer can play nice with the server if they want to.

when do we get this?

When we will be allowed to have nice things, i guess.

Anyway, botting sucks. +1 to the thread.
