Scripts abusing in w7

[JackTheRiot]

You are taking the wrong approach. As naosnule said, a game is supposed to entertain you. If you need bots to enjoy the game, there is something inherently wrong with it.

This is true but you shouldn't blame someone for playing the game in a way they find enjoyable. Some might consider it a puzzle to figure out how to build a perfect bot.

I don't mind people making a "perfect bot", I care about them using it. But don't misunderstand me; this is one of those cases where "don't blame the game, blame the player" doesn't work. I think there should be a way so that people doesn't want (or, at the very least, doesn't NEED) to use a bot. As it is now, however, they will keep using them, even for "trivial" things like farming or chopping trees, things that won't necessarily give them an advantage over other players (which is the original purpose of bots), but that are a pain in the ass to do yourself.

Disclaimer: I don't use bots, and don't plan to (my fellow villagers take care of the -to me- most boring things). The moment I feel the need to do it, I'll just quit the game altogether.

Make account cost $20 and only one character per account
-less poverty russians
-less chance people will bot
-less alt abuse
-food for jnl

It fixes 4 problems at once

Not only does botting destroy one of this game's main aspects (foraging endlessly for a flot or two), it also makes it very discouraging for the actual players of this game. Everyone who actually feels like -playing- this game knows that no matter how much they play, there will always be a few assholes with way higher combat skills than them, purely because they cheat, and if they were to run into one of these botting players, there's no way they could win a straight up duel. Hopefully this matter will be dealt with by w8 at least, because it takes away from the feeling of competition a bit, and if I died to someone who put less time into the game than me yet had insanely high stats due to botting, I'd be pretty choked.

Totally agree but if you add 1 extra restriction:

-multiple accounts are not allowed and will be banned.

Because there are always one or two kids with access to their mother's credit card...

under what criteria do you enforce that

You seem to believe you have a privilege of being the strongest in H&H just because you waste all of your time in H&H, contrary to people who use their brain to reach the goal.

Why do you think you'd be able to do a living thing even if there weren't any "russians botters" when you have people who played several years focusing on only perfecting their H&H combat skills?

by IP? It's not like it's a dark times when hundreds of people use same IP, it's a future

So much butthurt about foraging bots
Should I give it to everyone? I bet more then half of people, crying about unfair game here, will use these bots themselves

Unfortunately that's true. We're just a monkeys fighting for advantage

But then again, this does eliminate some beautiful parts of gameplay, such as foraging.
