Well, nothing happened. The guy came back right as I started aiming and started running around. I spoke to him a bit and he seemed friendly enough, I don't like the situation but I can't do anything about it now. I'm not sure if he's a legitimately friendly player or if he was sucking up to avoid getting killed. Sorry for the uneventful thread. :- /Valten21 wrote:I was there just a few days ago, that would be my battery scent.

If they are afking and grinding for LP and doesn't take other people's opinions on it, they don't care because they are profiting off of it with many more alts.Valten21 wrote:I was there just a few days ago, that would be my battery scent.

What they could do, is make alts that grind LP, and after a certain amount, they "process" their alts by single filing them into a cellar, and have them "slaughtered" to harvest their LP. Hey, you can MULTICLIENT, so it's not impossible to have like 5 clients macroing the bots to gain LP and having them tuned to "walk to the cellar and line up" while another computer handles the slaughter process.
How else do these guys get 900UA? Not by grinding LP alone but murdering every single thing (including their own "cow grazing" bots).

I'd never do it, but I hadn't thought about other people doing that.

Re: Found AFK diggers...
That's why custom clients should be considered cheating because it opens up to unfair use and advantages.
The Devs allowed it because they basically don't care that much about their community, this is a alpha or a game test to them so they can develop Salem and profit from that. Oh jeez, did I read their mind just there? Burn. They only update and fix stuff because they want to push this "experiment" further to see what else they can create... Like gods watching their worlds unfold... "These ants are being owned too easily, lets make em do HHP or make em capable of murder!" "The bears are getting owned too much, we'll just lower their LP!"
Heck, at some point I would think certain communities would "sell" high LP alts for "slaughter" by making real money too.
Remember, why is it so hard to gain LP, and why is LP so valuable? It's no different than Gold farmers and their ways to make money.
