Botted Stats

[Granger]

I have submitted a proposal to them a while ago how this problem can be solved within their limitations (staff size and so) in a surprising and effective way than will be quite spectacular for the bystanders to watch should it ever be put in motion.

Merry Christmas.

Wow and you don't tell us what it is
Maybe you release said idea on Christmas?

Now I'm genuinely curious.

It will be as good as the curfew idea I'm sure

I certainly hope the devs try it out, whatever it is. I am more than willing to go through several iterations of bot prevention mechanics until we reach one that works(not saying your proposal is bad, of course).

Everyone thinks botters are too overpowered in every fashion, but botters get lazy very easily, I have more stats than most botters in the game. So GG

Make it come with a purge of botted characters and I'll get a 12 month gold. It would be funny to see the russian player count drop to somewhere around 8 hehe xd

Also, would jorb/loftar mind to release the information about the highest stats on the server right now? I just want to see how much the botters have gained already.

I'm very much not sure that's relevant to begin with. The very question assumes that the stats were gained due to botting, and thus will do nothing to answer whether that is the case. On the other hand:

To be honest, I feel that you guys make botting out to be much more than it in fact is. I don't doubt that it happens, mind you, but I suspect it is responsible for less brokenness than you seem to think it is. I have developed, as of quite late, some tools to look at certain data aggregates, and as far as I have been able to tell, the vast majority of what is perhaps perceived as "broken character development" appears to be much more due to a few quite broken foodstuffs. Let's just say that the top characters keep to quite specific diets. :)

inb4 Granger's reccomendation to stop botters was a world reset.

you have bots for leveling, mining, foraging, farming, material collection (such as chopping trees) and some factions even go as far as to bot exploration of the map

Your tools are broken or you didn't configure them to look for the right things because it goes beyond looking at their diet and you should reveal all that information related stats/quality/whatever if you're so confident none of it points towards any significant amount of botting.
