Hi,
I have idea about antibot mechanic
It will work with current experience system.
Lets say that every activity you do, cost some experience. In the normal state it will be really cheap.
When you repeat some action like "farming" you fill bar of "enjoy" until it change state to "boring" there will be activity more expensive and next will be level "furious" and so on.. something like hunger level bar.
If you do something different you will recieve some xp back.
If bot repeat action he will lost all xp and only way for him to continue is get some xp back by doing something else.
If it will be balanced right, it can work.

Re: Antibot mechanic
XP system is bad enough as it is, lets not add to it. I spend multiple hours a day on farms and animals and barely keep enough xp to do simple study. A system that forces you to fondle trees, or pick up tables just to keep playing is pathetic IMHO.
And who cares about bots - time is better spent adding to and fixing the game than trying to combat something that is unfixable without abusing regular players

Re: Antibot mechanic
That is such a terrible idea...
Not only is it possible to program a bot that will work around that, it will be so annoying to players that it will make such bot a true necessity, making yet more people start using them.
This is why we can´t have nice things.

Re: Antibot mechanic
Oh look, another idea from someone who has no idea how shit works..
Im sorry, but this suggestion is retarded as fuck.
I appreciate that you want to help with the bot 'problem' but there are other ways of getting rid of bots that dont include stabbing legit players in the neck with a spoon, repeatedly.

I think you're misrepresenting the discomfort this proposal would cause, man. Like, seriously, be realistic, it'd be closer to a rusty spoon dipped in lemon juice, mkay?Shrapnelx wrote:Oh look, another idea from someone who has no idea how shit works..
