Developers going to do anything about the 24-7 afk bots in SoL A?

    Sorry but Aradune is NOT worse than other TLPs by a huge margin. There is no guy 100 boxing raid content on Aradune.

    New x server is always the “worst” ever in forumquest.

    Context man. Literally what you quoted from me said "More camps taken in 100% of picks"

    And your rebuttal is about a guy 100boxing a raid for himself? Thats apples to oranges. When I say its worse and provide a specific example, I am only talking about it being worse in regards to that.

    What if ...
    (Conspiracy theory here)...

    Some of these bots are actually DPG-supported or run, to spurn competition, and manipulate the economy....

    However unlikely, it's evident that they can't be stopped... even with video recordings of multiple scripted/boxed necro's accidentally jumping synchronously (because the user accidentally hit the spacebar and it's automatically sending commands to the second character too).

    The funniest one was someone replying to a CC and they left the key-send function on, so all of their 6-box group instantly replied at the same time, "Efreeti".

    How many times does someone have to "go to the bathroom" before they are 7 day suspended? Because I know that wasn't the first time they "went to the bathroom".

    Perhaps someone grouping with him finally got tired of all the bathroom breaks.

    Okay but did you type /report and expect something to happen or did you actually petition and provide evidence?

    I'm all for getting rid of that type of rulebreaking player but it's easier to prove AFK play than it is to prove automation. As obvious as it can be, if theoretically a person could have made their own macros in EQ and is pushing buttons, they can't just hand out bans as much as we'd like them to. I don't know how they could prove the automation without it being an idiot spamming his commands into open channels that everyone can see - which has happened.

    Last I heard those annoying casino /random roll betting things were against the rules too, doesn't stop annoying people from spamming their crap every TLP either.

    The second page of the thread below has a video of a guy openly streaming himself cheating, and yet he's still at it. (It's the second video, not the first one.)

    I'm confused, the video title mentions Rizlona. There's many screenshots from the official EQ discord with Dreamweaver saying this kind of thing was fine on that server as long as it wasn't AFK or unintended play like warping etc. If this was Aradune it would be against the rules but from my understanding of Rizlona there's no issues with what he's doing?

    Make an account, and link it. Will send you all the info I have on the sola perma bot.

    You are literally grasping at straws just to try and argue about anything you can. He was by himself, not attacking anything, backed into a corner without aggro before he was banned. He was talking to us right before it happened, then soon as he got back from the bathroom, freaked out because of his pet despawning on its own (GM despawning it). These GMs have a hair trigger to ban anyone they can, for minor, or non-existant infractions, unlike the Verant/Sony GMs who would test you multiple times, before even just doing a disconnect, and even then would only toss out a 24hr if you did it again when you got back. Suspending people for any tiny thing, yet ignoring the major rule breakers.
  12. Xeris Augur

    Either way it's not worse. On every single TLP I've played there are boxers/botters at the krono camps. Aradune is not different , BUT there is at least moderately more GM enforcement than before, and the botting is less blatant than on other TLPs, thus Aradune is better in most respects.

    Hence my example of a 100 box crew running rampant on Mangler. There's nobody doing this on Aradune because there is actually SOME enforcement here.

    Make an account where? Who?

    This Kimchi

    Oh, suddenly it hits me. He's go a pet out. That's exactly why he's suspended.
  16. Endacer Augur

    Sadly that's pretty much the gist of it, ya. All you have to do is be a mage in a zone with drops with pet out to get reported, doesn't matter that he wasn't attacking anything apparently.
