Bots bots bots everywhere

I couldn’t believe the amount of bots I found today when farming low end mats in WW and FL. I reported several, and missed the names of several more. I tried to communicate to make sure they were bots (would hate to false report :frowning: ) but none responded and they continued to run the same route.

Kinda disheartening to see really.

@Luxendra when is AGS going to clean up the gathering bots? I suggest the AGS team go research an MMO called Silkroad Online. It was actually a fun game. Then came the bots. Silkroad did nothing about them…and pretty soon every square inch of every zone was crawling with bots…bots gathering…bots leveling…bots farming experience. The game isn’t around anymore…because after a while the only things still logging in…were the bots. Do something!!

Seeing how things are going so far, they’d nerf farming before figuring out how to handle the bots.

I keep thinking… It would be possible, when receiving a report - via game, to run a pattern detection script. If there is a movement pattern then a card (such as sale of items) is displayed, with random and simple instructions to a human, for example: “Press X key twice + 4 times left arrow + etc”. Wait a while, if the interaction doesn’t occur, take the player off the ground and apply a suspicious point. If the player accumulates x suspect points, take action. Measures can also be devised to avoid false reporting so as not to load the server with unnecessary pattern checks. Anyway…

Yeah that’ll go well. There is one post with someone posting a video of them getting an AFK timer while in a war, as the person is actively in combat, he’s considered AFK. If they can’t even solve that, your idea would take months, if not, years to produce.

That person’s company lost that war too because a bunch of people got disconnected for being AFK. In an active war. As they’re in active combat.

Don’t worry two weeks from now NW will have 90k or less players, the bots will move on too.

AGS had a two week reprieve with Endwalkers delay and they decided to release a shit tier patch with stealth nerfs.

I felt bad about NW being shit when I played the Alpha, because it could have been a fun time waster.

Now I feel AGS and Amazon deserves every bad review on Stream. Bad reviews on YT.

This all could have been avoided by not releasing the game two years too early.

Bots plague Dominora as well. There’s 80 bots around First Light and Windsward late at night. They especially love motes.

The freezing of the economy, and low gold revenue only fuels botting. AGS doesn’t have a commitment to remove bots and hasn’t communicated anything on this.

Interestingly, if they level the character to 60 through botting, they could have a secondary market to sell those characters, win-win for bot gold farmers, lose-lose for the community.

Just let the bots have this game

This minimap is allowed by devs, because its just reading ingame info about you current position(right upper corner). There is no difference that i use this map or open interractive one on the second monitor. Or you just resentful bot owner who got banned?

Displaying nodes on the minimap is most definitely not allowed. Location only. That could not have been made more clear. You are cheating.

They already nerfed the fishing treasure chests because of bots, like that would solve the problem. Just hurt everyone else and the bots are still there.

This is funny, this guy reported a bot, and could face a ban for 3rd party cheating app himself.

Don’t give out your wild guesses as a truth. Devs clearify the situation with this minimap long ago. And its allowed. But its funny how narrow minded people like you trying to take away problem with bots and blame such harmless thing

Could face a ban for thing that allowed. Sure clown :rofl:

You need to reread buddy, like everyone is trying to tell you. It 100% says it can’t show nodes.

I see what are you trying to tell me. Any devs messages that proves you words? No? then its just a guffing
