Is botting allowed now?

    Quote from Auxi

    I accept your concession.


    Please play the game for more than a month and draw your own conclusions. This new wave of "new thing" MMO tourists is the reason people spout this nonsense in the first place.

    Ask for something clearly unreasonable as 'evidence' for an argument that's obviously true -> proceeds to proclaim himself victor of argument when opponent refuses to waste his time with said 'evidence'. Great tactic bro. And then proceed with pointless assumptions and personal attacks. No buddy, you are wrong. I play MMOs for more than 15 years now, and Aion ever since the OG 1.9 You cannot prove that what the majority of us saying here is nonsense so you proceed to just invoke stupid personal insults to cover you being completely inept at having an intellectual argument with anyone.

    A hallmark of a true gaming troll. Your input here is completely useless. Your suggestions of just doing nothing and letting bots roam around are completely useless.

    Right those can be actual players bots, for efficiency reasons "professionals" are above them but yeah I saw them too and in Abyss. I think we are at a point where some actual players started to bot too and created "support" accounts to feed their main, just like on retail - where it is/was a necessity.

    Than I don't understand why this game has zero anti-cheat software, so things like this is possible?

    Quote from Deepee

    Bots that purchase Siel's Energy are a valuable source of revenue.

    That's all you need to know to explain inaction.

    Other games prove that professional botters don't invest into the game company. They use stolen player accounts, stolen credit cards, cheats and whatever to achieve things. They want money and will do about everything to reduce their costs - but somehow this "fairy tale" of the nicely paying botter makes people believe that gaming companies tolerate them for that reason. Maybe there are few of those, but if you ever hunted down these goldsellers anywhere, you'll know that they don't follow the rules by any means.

    Same reason as before. This kind of software causes issues for legit players too. Others might worry about them because they are having privacy issues with it. There are a couple of reasons. Furthermore, professional botters won't mind, they have their ways to react to these.


    There is no use to focus on these botters either. The kinah has to be tracked down along with those who buy from them - but this requires quite some time depending on the data they have to hunt these down.

    I see your answers in all of last themes - you are 100% botter :D:D
    there is no other way some normal guy would see that someone is doing unfair stuff and you say "this is ok" :D
    thats like, "you got pee in your eyes and keep saying that this is rain".
    this is not rain, bruh, stop telling us that cheats and bots is normal and fine :D

    he did not write that it was okay. he wrote that bot prevention usually hurts the common player more than botters. which is proven by the current patch we have.

    You must be very smart if you think that everyone that doesn't necessarily support all sorts of measures must be cheating. In fact, I hunted down botters and cheaters in other games previously - and I still don't sympathize with them, either.


    But take a look at debates about anti-cheat programs and login issues, reduced loot in Aion and so on. Years ago the first thing was discussed a lot and Gameforge stated that they will not implement it on retail. Take a look at the anti-ddos measures that harmed legit players, refusing them to login. There are countless examples why things are not as simple as some people may think.

    Comprehension skills can be improved by reading more, for example. You can quote to me where I said "this is ok", but I'd surprised since I never wrote this.

    Just like Philine stated as well.

    What is there proven?

    There is no real Bot-prevention and all is full with them.


    The low Droprate ist just there to drive people towards the shop (at least in kr and na) and here they just got the same bullshit and cant get something different from NC.

    and cant get something different from NC.

    Well, on JP Server for example you can't even loot common items without Siel's. So there can be some changes.
