bot prevention<bot utilizing

Post by maze »

Face it- bot prevention is near impossible (any AAA MMO's) and then you want to ban bots in order or nuke towns what takes someone monitoring the game or some risky prevention code.

Instead of prevention look the other way and see utilizing.
Why are these fkers using bots? cuz it easy? cuz the game takes a lot of time? to do annoying task?
list goes on what bots are needed for~

What I think needs to be done is having the client be able to run bots. (farming, fishing, cooking, eating w/e micro manage it like DF)
that set up so that everyone can use. we'd end up with a more DF sorta game.
o/c we can log onto each bot/toon and edit their stats and walk em' around like normal haven.

But it would be nice to have your client open to a managing screen and have your bot/toons running around doing the yard work while in RL you're afk or gone for the day.

So, basically, the game plays itself and you do something else entirely?

Sounds like fun.

If devs didn't had an idea simiar to this we would still be paving planting etc one by one. With utilities like this we are still in front of the screen playing but dont have to to awful lot of clicks to get shit done. The reason bots are so popular is that they make life easier. The greatest inventions are the ones that make life easier. My side on this is that i am against botting because i don't have scripts and don't know how to write one:D If i did had botting macros, i would be for botting. And even if this post will get hatred i know most behave like me.

I am not foind of bots, anyone that has likely read my posts over the years (ok I was also on another account for a while). Would know this, but some people do not enjoy even the small aspects of the game, so bot them, skipping and pushing things so they dont care.... heard of someone botting 7 villages all over the map just so there main could stay ahead of the rest and so on in past worlds...


Edit: For short I rather see people slow down and enjoy every aspect of the game they bot the shit out of it. But I cant stop them so that is just how it is.

The problem with that game is that the task of running it is not automated. 1/10
