Who wants to stalk him and get xp to grind?
Talk, for a few, watch him RMK, talk for another few, watch him rmk, talk for another few, watch him rmk...Funn..

[Xymorg]

... but why even catacombs??? closest mobs to spawn point? not the easiest anyway...

Perhaps he didn't script inventory clearence so it has to be no-drop mobs to keep from filling up...

???

[Kraze]

Something odd is going on...joined 5 games pushin mobs out of beckon range and the pattern went uninterrupted. Slashing at the thin air dropping reset exact same movements...

[noobmigo]

Well, when the first bot comes in, it means the game is doing good.
Good and bad news in the same package..

hmmm i wonder how scipted it is to dying? pull a ton of mobs and get it killed?

I'm not sure you'd have time to do that :/

[Conradin]

What sort of gear is he wearing. Next timeim iG ill look.

[Arterra]

i just ran into a few of his games... honestly he is still going at it lol

[skavenger216]

Just a thought, if someone got PL running on PC using the Android SDK, wouldn't it be kind of easy to write a small program to macro stuff like this? Possibly could be what this guy is doing.

i would like to hear a statement from devs if this cheating is counter the TOS or out of range. Such can ruin the game...

Definitely in the ToS, one sec.

• uses or possesses programs to 'crack' the SOFTWARE PRODUCT or other Internet security tools;
• or anything else that SPACETIME deems harmful to SPACETIME'S integrity or business.

Not sure on this :

• violates or infringes any rights of third parties (including but not limited to copyright, trademark, rights of privacy or publicity, defamation or any other proprietary right)

Since a macro would be a third party, but not entirely sure what this point means.

[Riccits]

the problem is that it isnt a "crack". its just a software wich commands practically the phone, not PL.
how can u ever approve that someone using such kind of software?

That software falls under a third party, IMO.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding the ToS right, but generally in all the games I've played, third parties are always prohibited. (Unless built in stuff like addons for WoW, which doesn't really make it a third party, I think).

But yes, have to agree, that's the tricky part. Proving that the user is actually using the software.

I think since STS pretty much records everything we do in-game (the amount of games we create, when, etc), I think they can check the intervals on how fast he creates games. If it's a macro, these intervals should always be equal, which is pretty impossible for a normal person to do, constantly.

you gotta kill him to stop the program. It would just be clicking at spots that wont do anything.
If the prgram is really smart it would heal him and keep at it.

[Riccits]

the programm isnt connected to PL. it doenst know what happen in game. its justa programmed sequence of pressed buttons.
i doesnt even help kill him. he always rmks the same map killing only a few mobs...

What it is, I think, it like ghost mouse. He hits record, does his thing and kills 3 or so mobs, and hits play and puts it on repeat, thus doing it over and over and he leaves his device. Him dying wouldn't stop the program, it'd just click his skills and do nothing, then remake the game and spawn him alive. He probably uses a program to have the game pop up on his computer monitor, so he has to click with his mouse to push buttons on the iPad (can't use macros). I've done something similar to that. I jail broken my iPad, got an apple smart keyboard and mouse and made it so I could use em on my iPad, and played PL. Very tough to use but with practice it may be manageable.

Edit:

Also, it depends on his spawn point. Like I was with panda and he spawned at a weird spot, and he got stuck on a corner, he ended up killing one mob and slashing and stomping at air. The kills and xp add up (he may also just be doing it to hit 56) but I don't see the point since he isn't earning any of it, nor even playing the game but meh.

But it doesn't make it legal does it?

I mean with the using of a macro system, not the keyboard/mouse
