Programming Ideas to Stop Bots.

Post by inventer110 »

I am posting this thread in the hopes of capturing a new idea that will hopefully provide useful to game development.
I suggest a mandatory chat que. Or perhaps a login timer check(prevent bots from logging on the exact second every day).

please post any ideas you think might work.

I feel that i do not violate posting rules by requesting ideas in this thread. rather than just picking one.

There are no good ideas that don't end up annoying the normal users.

ideas don't need to be large and in the way prospects, its the little things that make the difference.

please post any ideas if you think of them.

They could make build time for objects more realistic. right now you can make a bow in like 2 minutes in game. I know from personal experience it takes a good 6 hours to make a nice bow from scratch.which would translate into 2 real hours. 2 real hours is a bit much unless we had the ability to save work that had been done on an object. but bots are good at repetitive tasks . so if tasks were less repetitive, for example if they took longer bots impact would be severely reduced.
