There's this GX botting in GH Underprison right now, how does one report this. Unfortunately I can't take a screen shot of it since it keeps teleporting when I'm around. Thanks!

I saw him too.

You have to just get really lucky and catch his name before he teleports.

Send me a PM with the character class, the server, the headgear if you spotted it and the approximate time they were on.

Hey oda, quick question...

Is it possible to have the names of players be posted above their characters in Dungeons and particular maps that have high bot traffic? This (in theory) should make it eaiser for players to report activity and allow the GM's to better connect the dots between violators(botters) and "mean" players.

I'll have to ask, but client tweaks like that most often can't be done on our side of the pond.

Well in theory, the solution could lie in the same coding for a WOE map, how it shows my (use to be) guild Icon above my Character. So could the codec for that be expanded to include the display of character names above and be disabled to display on WoE and Guild Dungeon Maps. Can't the GM's see content like that? I know that the OK application has it built in to see players names, ID, levels and equipped items on L and R hand. So that information is being transmitted, so again in theory, we just need a way to display it.

Why bother reporting they'll just be back? Also I think spammers are a bigger concern than botters at the moment.

If I could send PMs you'll have your inbox full with messages from me. Also some love message if you want

Because how do you expect for them to fix a problem you dont tell them about? If you feel they're not doing a good enough job then TALK ABOUT HOW THE PROCESS CAN BE FIXED OR CHANGED TO HELP CURE THE PROBLEM.

And in case you didn't get the memo, the reason why they can spam so fast is because they're not running an iRO client. This means they can communicate between the server with out the restrictions like the chat filter. This means if they can better create server side codec to display player names above characters, they can better track and respond to illegal connections to their servers.
