Bots Grinding to 71

[Rauekat]

Wow am rlly surprised to see that botting can be done in legend games also,i used to play star trek online n my frnd used to do this, he was pretty amazing at bottin,he told me its simple as walkin in a park...

PS: i would rlly like to know how its done,just for educational purpose

-Raghav

This isn't the first time I've seen botting :P

It was bound to happen once PL came out for Chrome. It happens, of course it's frustrating, I spent so much time and money grinding to the cap at mega maze (I'm impatient). It's life guys, just keep reporting the players and sending these things to support. It's an MMO, it WILL happen.

[razerfingers]

Lol, maybe they're hardcore and can all move at same time cause rhey all sitting next to eachother?

Botters exist and the evidence heavily implies that they do. The best thing we can do is get the botter killed and bring his orders crashing down. What bot would know what to do if it never expected to die?

[Swimmingstar]

im just mad that theyre so much smarter than me.

If everyone knew how to make bots then I wouldn't have a problem with it... but not everyone knows, so it's not fair.

Just thought of something really cool though, a Lego Mindstorms Pocket Legends Bot.

damn. Read above posts and realized why this dude was running those closed runs all the time. I thought, at that time, that he might be taking payment from people to level them up. Damn. That's one mystery solved.

Well... botting is more fun than actually playing a game, imho. I botted Everquest for years, 24/7, with my own group of 4 characters. But, it's a lot of work for virtual rewards, now I would rather spend my time making real cash, and only play games occasionally.

[Snakespeare]

Haha, has this thread gone over 50 posts?
Where ARE the devs?.....

Well, fwiw I read the TOS and found this

You represent, warrant and agree that you will not engage in conduct or communication (written, verbal, or nonverbal) yourself, or by or through your avatar, which:
...
* hacks, modifies or otherwise makes use of cheats, mods, automation software (bots) or any other unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the game experience;

So, they don't really have to do anything but delete those accounts.

I just wanted to let you know that I have passed this thread on and we are looking into it.

Seriously You guys r over reacting and just creating a myth, there noway to bot this game if so it be done along time a go, its way to hard now. And those guys r not bots they probably chinese and dont understand a word you saying.. No reason to ban them. Because to bot pl you need to bot skills of rev taking rev health pots mana pots and look in the video they dont even have exlair so its right to assume there boting lol. So posting something like this could get someone banned i hope those innocent people dont get banned.

I sense a botter, no?

The normal way to deal with it is to investigate them. Follow them. See if they respond to chat. See if they run exactly the same course over and over. Change the conditions of the game; like kill all the stuff in front of them and see if they say "wtf?". I don't think they would be banned just because of the video.

In Everquest, the GM would summon my character to another part of the zone to see what I would do. I had to program some basic chat in my scripts, and be able to say something like "/g i must be bugged, i have to reboot". Then log off. Then my other characters would say, "oh well, i have to go anyway", "me too".

It's not so easy, the support people have to investigate carefully.

[Nick41324]

it says the video is unavailable:/ is this so?

[Suentous PO]

I would suggest not answering the how's and giving more info to cheaters. This is far too easy to learn. Also some of the comments are giving the botters solutions to not get caught.
Thank you to OP Whirlz and WE for shedding light on this problem.

[csb]

Are you blind?
That stuff in bold is pretty much what exactly happened in the video.

They ignored him like he was a noob in the way. A support person should be able to instantly kill stuff, and not die while trying to train some mobs. Also, there are some zones in the game that you can't normally get to. If the group is transported to such a zone, it would be interesting to see what they do. It would have to be something that would cause a person to stop and take notice.

I knew a game scripter that got banned because the GM would summon his bot to the zone edge, and the script would keep trying to run the same pattern. The GM would keep summoning, and the character would keep trying to run the pattern. And, no response to chat.

EQ tried to write some code to detect bots, but the code accidentally caused some people to be banned because they had such a regular grind routine that it looked like botting. It is possible that this group is on a relentless grind that just looks like botting. That's why I say, investigate by changing conditions, not by observing the video.

I would suggest not answering the how's and giving more info to cheaters.

Botters learn nothing from this. It's far bigger than this little thread.

Nobody has answered the 3 people who asked what bots are... Here's the wikipedia answer

"Internet bots, also known as web robots, WWW robots or simply bots, are software applications that run automated tasks over the Internet. Typically, bots perform tasks that are both simple and structurally repetitive, at a much higher rate than would be possible for a human alone. The
largest use of bots is in web spidering, in which an automated script fetches, analyzes and files
information from web servers. Bots may also be
implemented where a response speed faster than that of humans is required (e.g., video gaming bots and auction-site robots) or less commonly in situations where the emulation of human activity is required"

Oh bot mean the game and character is running and playing by themselves (Computer control)?

[HunterSLAYER]

Yep. The person who owns the avatar might be sleeping or doing other things and letting the script/macro/bot/trainer do the work for him/her which in MOST games are ILLEGAL and constitutes as hacking which, obviously ruin the gameplay experience for other players who play the game the hard way.
