What is with all the bots i mean seriously? I find it disturbing there releasing a game altering patch when they can't keep the server Policed to get rid of bots.

 

 

Submiting a ticket with all the bots and screenshots would take us 4 times longer then a GM simply checking popular areas and banning them themselves. =p

1: Botting will become much much harder to do after the Pegasus Update due to a few changes that were made ;)

2: We used to have ShazamO come in a perform routine checks for botters, spammers and gold sellers.

 

But I agree, someone should probably be appointed to somewhat routinely check on botters.

If you logged in for 10 minutes and went to shikiku ruins and kuku undertground prison you would find like 30 people almost imediatly. It shouldn't be up to the players to pick up the slack of staff lol( no offense). You guys should check common maps like those at least once a day, players wont report them because its ultimitly honestly doesn't seem like they get banned because there so many so most things its a waste of time.

Those aren't the only maps either. OT, and the Luna Clan fields are usually hosting botters. There are a few spots on Orlo also that host botters routinely. I can't get a party anymore, without someone asking me if I can bot, or saying they are going on auto for awhile.

So you would rather be a part of the problem rather than the solution, kinda like seeing someone on the street getting mugged and complaining that their aren't police there to apprehend the bad guy and haul him off to jail, when you could pull out your cell phone and dial the police.  GG

 

You got ShazamO's attention and could offer to help and get some botters banned, but no, you don't want to lift a finger and PM the names to Shaz or the support team. 

 

So the point of this topic is to just complain for the sake of complaining.  If it really matters to you what is going on, then do your good deed and help out.  I'm really tired of listening to people complain, throw rotten tomatos and not willing to help.

botting has been rampant in this game for a while now...but as usual it gets ignored and we are told to police the game ourselves.

Look the other way, keep looking the other way, don't break a finger nail now.  I don't think they expect you to police the game, but as always, I think you need to put out if you are going to complain.  Gravity has always been a small operation and hasn't had the budget to have the kind of in-game presence you all want.  If thats what you expect, then be realistic and go find that game and be happy rather than miserable here.

I have reported several botters, the problem is, nothing ever seems to be done about them. After awhile, you just give up.

isn't it an idea to form a team of volunteers that do checks and can ban the botter themselfs? so the team won't be bothered with this issue and we know that botters are banned.

just an idea.

Trust is a valuable thing and hard to earn, even then there are always those that will try to use power the wrong way.

ShazamO does a wonderful job of checking them out when he is at work.

I don't see the need for a volunteer to be able to ban, just let them be able to dc the botters. And ShazamO does an excellent job, but he is only one person. We need more.

I'm not for botting, but how do you know they are? Beside the obvious signs of spamming aoes when there aren't mobs around, or the cleric spamming heals? Is it wrong to use an outside program to hit buttons for you while you're playing? Few times in the past its been brought up, but if someone is there, playing the characters can you actually prove botting? If pm's are blocked you can't pm them. If friend request it blocked, you can't add them to your FL. If they are sitting on clan screen or party screen they can't see you talking in general either. There is a lot of loopholes and a lot of people who are anti-social.

Justin, I usually go by the aoes when there are no mobs, or when a cleric is spam healing, for no good reason. You are entirely correct on those other points. Plus, some just don't speak english, so they don't answer when  you try to talk to them.

There should be a report button in game, but I'm guessing there's none because people would probably abuse it...
Was more thinking for botters / Gold spammers... ahh would be really handy for gold spammers 8) ...

In all honesty there is absolutly not 1 person playing rose online right now that hasn't enjoyed the fruits of a botter. So just because you finally got your max level it doesn't make it okay for you to complain about it now. Say you didn't get helped by a botter there is absolutly NO LEGIT PARTIES. And also it is not against the rules to have a program automatically do skills for you as long as you are at the computer. I do not agree with gold selling in the slightest. But seriously man why act like your -_- don't stink you've probably done it yourself or had a friend that does it and you weren't complaining then. The fact is that it isn't hurting anyone for someone to level up a character with a automatic skill program because they still have to do hard work to get gear just like everyone else. And you honestly should be thanking them because the more they bot the more items into the economy the lower the prices go. (I don't know if you've looked around junon latly) The player shops (Economy) is the reason why there is less than 1% Legit new player traffic.

lol helix your 100% wrong LOL, I have NEVER EVER used a bot and whenever I joined a party with someone uses a bot I left or kicked them.

 

I sit and button mash like its meant to be, you can't just assume EVERYONE bots or has had help by one or more of them. There are people like me who actually are 100% legit

I have never used any kind of bot, talk for yourself and not for everyone.
If you don't enjoy the game the way it is, why do you bother playing?

It's legal to bot while crafting if you're watching the screen, I haven't even done that.

+ the economy is definitely not better because of botters, it's ruled by other things, there's much money floating because there's always people that like to cheat in the game, ex buy gold, etc.

Helix, if you have to use a bot for lvling i guess you are playing the wrong game. Back in days there was a time where most people have been like "Huh? What is a bot?". It was rare that you have seen a botter in rose and you know what? it was fun, much more fun than lvling those days. Bots are the worst thing happend to rose for now. They ruin the economy, the gameplay feeling, the community and last but not least the company.

What you didn't seem to get: The game itself should be fun, lvling, farming. questing, the interaction with other players. It isn't all about the end-game content.

They said that yes but I can still multiclient, quite sure that was for PvP matters only so you can't do like you did in UW aka leech.
