We've made this request literally dozens of times in the last 2 years.
They fixed the pve exploits but didn't fix the leaderboard; they fixed the flag exploits and implemented a ridiculous system that severely limits progress in those aps, but they didn't fix that leaderboard either. They keep fixing loopholes they are told about but there are countless others that are being used. Basically, unless STS actually decides to spend money on more staff to police the game, the only ToS being enforced will be those on the forum, courtesy of infractions handed out by Seoratrek *waves*.
There's never been in-game moderation of any type, with STS relying on players ratting each other out as their only form of enforcement. It's the way they decided to run the game, even after a lot of player pressure. I don't see it stopping now, just because the AP leaderboard is compromised. It's been compromised since season 4 - it's just a new group of names on it now.
Speaking of seo, there is a give thank you button and give rep button.. I want you to add a give cake button ...
Don't be a cake hater seo!

It is kind of a major problem since legit players lose motivation competing with bots... but it is not construed as a major problem so far (unfortunately).
And I guess many of those bans that happened unjustified were due to the fact that specific words were written in the chat... however, if the system to collect player input informations is good and the ban hammer does not drop too quickly, it would not lead to 'irrational' bans ;)
And btw those who got banned not being guilty got their account back if they contacted support. As far as I am concerend I prefer a banning procedure with some errors that can be retrieved than just leaving all unfair/cheating people alone and keep them going :ambivalence:
Botting programs are smart.auto kick-off from account won't do anything.they will just relog in.1:Figure out the account name of botter. 2: report to a sts developer. 3:investigation by sts. 4:bans accordingly.
It's really up to sts,as the consumers we give(honest for the most of us)our time to shine light on "cheaters" and report them.So sts should have a little more follow-thru when It comes to investigation.
If they don't care about more and more bots showing up,then this game is dead and gone fast as hell.I've seen a single person have 8 characters online at the same time.
Any person that has the software to bot could run all those characters 24/7.If they have top end characters..they could potentially have hundreds of millions in days/weeks.let that go on for to long and a single botter could have accumulated a billion or more.enough to rock the whole of the consignment shop.
While they try to sell platinum which in turn is suppose to give you a "edge" over non plat players,people will "illegally" be making obscene amounts of gold without manual control over a single run,as the legit players spend mind numbing hours farming(ALOT using platinum)only to watch their super hard work be in the shadows of new age technology.
Try this fix.
Depending on the software,a bot will almost always take the same cords on a map.I've had experience with setting up a buddies bot on diablo 2 ages ago.watch the lines they take.there is not one single person that can keep to specific cords like a bot.Also,leave a message to a botter in their game(some will have text logs saved)saying it's against ToS and it will be reported.All this is really on sts.GL to all
Just my opinion.
I would truly like to hear from a mod or manager better yet REM about this issue ,why it can't or won't be fixed .
So if an S.t.S member would like to make an official comment about this issue so we can put this to rest .:)
Nothing new. Botting is probably here to stay. People are not going to call out their friends, and AL doesn't have a security system that screens for programs etc.
Botting is either a third-party software, or a chrome-based software.
If it's chrome-based and the user plays through chrome, the server should already collect enough information to detect the processes of a macro running in the foreground, no? Since it's already able to collect info from bordering sites.
If you look at the Spacetime Studios Privacy Policy,
Am i interpreting wrong, or does STS clearly state they can collect device information for third party programs that interact with their services?Quote:

Either STS needs to enforce it, or take it out of their TOS
