Botters...

[pocketlegendshq]

Can anyone think of anything to counter bots?

[ursadex]

/report

Yeah, that and sending messages to support of course, but anything while in game to kind of stop them, like maybe changing monster spawn locations?

I have caught 2 bots myself both in the same place. I didn't like the idea of completely changing some maps but the places most exploitable are any map/dungeon with endless respawns of mobs or bosses. For the reason that bots can exploit them I would refrain from being upset if a couple maps were nerfed. I'd miss them tho-

Bots run the same thing over and over, if we change things up just a little they will mess up, but yeah I don't like the idea of constant change either...

Elaborate a bit more on these bot programs. I didn't really get into these kinda games until last year so I have never heard of such a thing.

This is one of the popular bots for RuneScape: http://www.epicbot.com/.

The last game i played started doing random text checks, where players would have to interpret those wierd ambiguios text authenicator, but that would be super annoying for PL.

Also you'd have to have those be clearly readable or else a real player could get kicked -____-

Wow that is so cheap, why would people do such a thing thats totally unfair.

So people could one day make a bot to farm more kills than me?
And make the leaderboards controlled by bots?
Lol I would rage if that happened.
So much time spent getting all my kills the right way.
People often ask me if I use hacks, or used plat for all my kills.
Which is like this biggest insult.

I know what you mean, makes me angry just thinking about it -_____-

Theres absolutely no way of preventing it?

I can almost guarantee that the guy on the leaderboard with 100,000 deaths botted them...

There is such as a captcha popping up every 30 minutes, but it is highly unlikely that STS will enforce that. Bots always ruin the communities, in almost all cases bots prevail which is really sad.

Bots usually (at least in my experiences) stand in a town and spam a message ... (im talking about what they were/are in runescape back when i played) In runescape, they somehow made it so it was like their account didnt exist... you couldnt report them or even click on them :-/...

Ghost bots are rare like the one you mentioned, usually they are all just autofighting or autoskilling.
