Everyone in the game would be banned if this happened.
Those same bot accounts are buying things directly from people on the AH constantly. Those same bots are selling you things on the AH. Those same RMTers are buying stuff, bidding on things in your raids, etc.
This is a completely unreasonable burden and players have no way to tell if someone is cheating or not. Nor should they try to, because they don’t have access to the information AGS & SGR have.
I agree, we got again the bad side of this action.
I can not believe that why so hard to hire some GM or person who check the bots more often and launch a bigger ban wave in every 1-2 week.
If a bus driver walks into a oreha carry with 3 obvious bot names for a 2k payout, well above the norm, there is no way they could credilbly hold their hands up and say “I had no idea they were bots Mr AGS”
The second they do they deserve the banhammer that’s coming at them.
Which annoys the hell out of me as my artist is gonna need busses in a couple of weeks and half these silly buggers are going to get themselves banned before then and lose everything they worked for, leaving me with fewer busses to pick from and they’ll all double in cost due to supply and demand.
But these same bot accounts are going to get flagged for the 100k gold transactions they make after bypassing the 1375 ilvl limit that’s holding them back,
That’s when AGS tracks the payments those specific bots have been making to other players, be it 2k and 100k.
Jealous that these guys are helping the bots that screw up our game? helping them bypass the the restrictions Smilegate has put in the game to stop them? not jealous, theres a few more choice words i’d use for them , but then i’d be on a forum vacation.
you must be really high XD they cant even deploy a normal update without breaking something, and when they do break it they have no idea what they did wrong, do you really think they are able to do anything that advanced?
So if i want to bus i need to do a touring test on each member to confirm there not a bot? maybe ask some lore questions to make sure they did the story? There is no reason to ban people bussing and you cant charge players with the task of moderation under threat of ban.
Only way to stop the bots is to nip it at the source. Stop giving rmters a 3 day vacation for buying millions of gold. Bots will always be back if there is money to be made. Rmters will always buy gold illegitimately because the rates will always be better and at this point, that 3 day ban is doing them a favor. They already bought their gems, setting their gold to 0 does nothing. At this point, people feel stupid for buying gold through the royal crystal system when they sit and watch well know streamers get a 3 day when they repeatedly buy it illegally ON STREAM. You won’t stop the bots, you have to starve the bots. You have to make people actually scared to buy from these bots because at this point you just get made fun of for being legit.
the problem is, if they perma ban all the RMTers,
who’s going to swipe ? the RMTers most likely the one spending money in the game too
and if they ban them all, probably only 25% of real player population left, which at least half of them want pheon to be removed from the game and convert blue crystal for 10g
Because its not just one person. It would need a whole team. You have eu sa nae and naw all on different time zones all with over a dozen servers. With a looming reccession thats a whole lotta money they aint willing to spend. The fact is its just bad money spent. In the time it would take a gm to ban 1 bot 100 more will take its place.
But drug dealing = people who sell gold from their bots. Not people who bus bots, it is like if you would like to put into jail public transport driver, who had onboard someone who is selling or producing drugs
I am not bussing bots, there is enough normal players to bus. But I also agree, that players are not responsible for distinguishing bots from normal players. Devs should ban them long before they reach levels for busses in first place.
