yes but mainly no. with the old LP and the sliders, you had to actually play the game.

There were tree cutting/bucket and board bots. but those took a Long time to produce the LP and there was a possibility a boar or bear could take you out(not kill u so to speak, but interrupt the program)

I have tried to talk to you seriously in the past.

But this level of "head in the sand" is beyond even you.

Just out of curiosity, what if storm of swords nerf was reverted, however, it becomes only blue attacking move, yellow is opened but not damaged, meaning it doesn't self open and you'd need full circle to do that aoe damage. Would you think that's a better solution?
Maybe its amazing idea.
but we should try it first with cleave.
so it will open red but damage only in blue, less self open moves will be awesome.

Numerous posts of people who mention bots in all aspects of the game. Not to mention the threads i have started in the past where people fully divulge their bot use

First off, I think you are lying through your teeth, but there really is no way(besides allowing me to just become part of your village and have access to your discords and village, WHICH both of us DO NOT want) to prove your words

I may regret once again trying to take you seriously. As with this statement, either you are honestly naive, as the amount of forums talk surrounding bots is rather staggering.

Or I'm just in the throws of dementia. . . for taking you serious again :)

I didn't play back then, but looking at the implementation of Curiosities with the benefit of hindsight, they probably just made botting more powerful.

Like you said, a bot that treecuts/boards/buckets forests is susceptible to all kinds of interference. But a bot producing curiosities can hand them over to a different character, effectively decoupling the risk and reward. Curiosities also conceptually introduce a bottleneck that in theory levels out the playing field between a casual player and a bot running 24/7. But because Study Desk weren't implemented back then, using a bot to reload curiosities would give a massive advantage.

I like how my experience is playing the game and winning and joojoos experience is ... forum posts?

You call me naive yet youre getting baited by the dumb shit that other people who are just like u post about armies of bots

It's pretty obvious I know a lot more about what goes on at the top level of haven than u so pls stop being so big ego and just accept when I tell you this game is probably the least sweaty or competitive game that exists. Ive been in top villages every world for like 10 worlds. The top villages industry is always just 1 guy who likes mining. The feasting part is like you hunt once in a while and then make sausages, no one is min maxing this shit. The farms barely even got farmed this world. No one cares.

I'm not saying botting isnt possible or that it doesnt exist but the reality is its not really a thing and it makes absolutely no difference. If someone is actually running shit like that they should be embarassed because hans made 60 tokens this world selling the highest industry stuff in market and hes not even really a miner he just mines on a fighter character once in a while. In early world everyone kept saying I had op stats and I dont even know how to use a cookbook I just make same basic shit as ever

Although I dont know why Im bothering to type this, Ive typed it all before theres no curing your bot derangement syndrome. I just wish youd recognize your own mental illness and post less
