[Question Thread] Quick Question => Short answer

    i think the bots mostly sell the stones directly to other real players and then the kinah are used / or even sold.

    so i doubt it is as easy to just ban everyone buying from bots, because then the servers would be very empty very fast ;)

    so why bots with the same nick names can drop for a few days 24/h?

    I don't know but You can't ban by IP? I mean all acc - bot's acc and main acc.

    And you can easy check in logs all trades stones/kinah from bot's acc to main acc. You can also ban IP from which acc are created.

    Bots can change their Ip in an instant. They can create accounts in an instant. It' s really not as easy as it looks like ;) And I know it from experience. It's a never ending fight.

    This's very important topic. If bots removed / cleared we, like normal on-line AION players will have much more fun "just playing". Good luck with fight ... AION needs this fight.

    I know. It's always a complicated topic.

    TBH Galeas...if you check the FB Communities, people complain how they "report daily bots" and none of them get banned.

    I would like to believe, that they just got the idea in their heads "GF won't do anything either way".

    Perhaps make a separate shout-out by using your position to encourage people to try/keep on trying to report those bots, since the overall mood regarding that topic is way to passive and nothing will change like that.

    Obviously it's complicated, but if you/we manage to move the community against that by a raised number of reports/feedback...I would again like to believe the support will be able to bann them faster and more efficiently. :)

    There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

    How about a DevTracker like Black Desert did?

    they Post every Week if i remember a list with Banned Bots / Hacker / Scripter.

    maybe this will scare some to use bots :D

    Bannliste BDO ^^ (even account details are included)

    Since they don't approve naming and shaming in the forum they won't do that.

    Then without with Details ... ^^ just a list like

    30.4.2019 - 3 Bots / 1 Hacker / 0 Scripter Banned


    that would allow us to see that GF do something and on the otherside scare ppl. to use tools :D

    pw hard will drop new ultimate armor +accs from what I heard, while easy mode just drops legendarys.

    The easy mode can drop new ulti too, from what I see, but very low chance. The hard mode is dropping those stars which are needed to upgrade accs. You can see in the video I linked, the star for upgrade is dropping from box, and I think you need 20 of them for 1 item (accs).

    Galeas great but You need do one more thing. Ban all bot's.

    There are a lot of them in whole map. They work 24/h and still you do nothing with that.

    If you think we are doing nothing you are way wrong. hundreds (thousands sometimes) of bots are banned every week. Still they keep on creating accounts as fast as we ban them. I ensure you we want them gone as badly as you do.

    The thing is(i can only talk for odin) I see certain bots for weeks I even recognize some by name from afar already. I am not saying nothing is being done, but actually there should be an authorized person to check that ingame every single day getting autonotified by the report as bot function and then being able to observe the reported person and get rid of him.

    I know about the thing that you have to "prove" that he is a bot and not just "know" it. I think tho you can observe a bot and if you are 100% certain it is a bot get him a "security ban" that way the owner of the bot always has to ticket the support to get it unbanned and it will take him more than enough effort to get things settled so he will just resort to a new account, this could in my opinion massively reduce the amount of bots and as I said I can only speak for Odin but certain spots are literally 1 bot each 4-5 mobs

    Auralight, in Sillus too... same bots in same sweet places doing their "job" day after day... it's very frustrating.

    This huge bot problem needs way more attention!

    Needed, after clicking "Play" add checking files and if will be found unauthorized software, after login - autoban :) The best way, in case of chacking, botting etc - a guy must modify game files - and modyfing is restricted.

    This is the case for the KOR client, there is a software (ncguard I think it's called) that runs in background and scans the memory ... idk why Gameforge still not adding this, it would be easily doable

    Because they still have it in other of their game I've played for many years and it does nothing to the actual bots, only slows your pc. I mean, look at the KR open world, it has plenty of bots and they have ncguard. NA has another software now and bots and cheaters bypassed this one in first day. I think these resources needed are better concentrated elsewhere and we're better without these rootkits.

    Authors of unauthorized programms could be punish. Someone has writtten every such programm ... (i mean 2 popular noob programmes)
