Anti bot is too sensitive |
|
I just got anti bot banned for an hour whilst trying to apply to someones expo because the clicker on my mouse got stuck & decided to click repeatedly..
Its way too sensitive - it must have clicked only about 10 times in the message box & now Im banned for an hour and cant join the expo...
In my opinion anyone who would use a bot or script or something like that would have to put way more effort in than its worth .. and for clicking 10 times over accidently I think a ban for an hour is ridiculous.
Thank you anti bot for banning me for an hour & for possibly ruining the expo I was TRYING to join as well as loosing me exp ...

its retarded ... a mouse sticking and clicking 10 times over fast warrants a ban? I think not ...
-oh no people will cheat at the game... ROFL yes ok then cause someone will put that much effort into spamming their way to the top ... Im sure if someone had that much free time & skill theyd be doing more than hacking an internet game.. maybe hacking sony for example :L
Pfft its just annoyed me because it was the timing of it more than anything

Any other text based MMORPG is the same, its either Antibot or people abusing the game with scripts (as happened in so many others)

Unless an admin can give me a valid reason for it i am 100% against this anti bot and from all players i wont agree with untill iv heard it from an admin.
This is a turn based game.. you CANNOT do anything by clicking any quicker, if this was a game that you coul say do a quest every 5minutes aslong as your online and you set a bot to do it for you while you slept then i agree with it.. but because its turn based and you have to do the quests on the hour and get no more whats the point?
same with the auction, theres nothing that needs it, clicking quicker doesnt force attacks through quicker it doesnt help you in expos and it has no relavance at all, so why isit here?
to slow stop lag of people clicking quicker.. how much lag can you make by clicking 2/3times instead of once

Really? Granted I haven't been on here in a while so I've no idea what the mob situation is, but before I left there was a serious shortage and people were literally refreshing every few minutes waiting on one to appear. On the polish servers the situation was much worse, they have genuinely active and FULL servers (not ones with maybe 1500 active players) and people were using illegitimate means to make sure they got expos..

is this a full, active, polish server? no, so your point is irrelevant.

How illigitimate can an expo get when you cant make it any quicker by refreshing? and with the option to now create an expo if you successfully respawn a mob its not needed..
and if people are refreshing every minute to see if one appears they are idiots.. if theres a team in there its either going to fail on the half hour or on the hour.
Maybe im clearly missing the bigger picture but if i am then please do explain

As I said, its been a while since I've been involved with expeditions so if the system has changed fair enough. My point is without the antibot, it opens up the possibility of people cheating when competing for a monster (one they're not spawning themselves).

How can you cheat when the game automatically releases monsters on the half hour / hour if the team fails? there is no way you can force the game to let a monster drop before the timer finishes

Correct, but what you can do is constantly refresh and apply for expos so that once one is dropped you are guaranteed to get it.

at the half/on the hour, people are sat in shammy set, multiple people, hoping for a free mob, how does that guarantee a damn thing? others can be faster off the blocks, or maybe have a faster internet connection, so no, it's not guaranteed.

*Sigh*
No its not guaranteed, unless you're using scripts that can refresh a page quicker than you can click. As I mentioned above if you care to read. The only way to stop people using these means, is to implement an Antibot that temporarily bans an account refreshing a page too quickly.
And to answer Franz, the devs know full well about the repercussions of not having it in place regardless of how many people don't want it.

I don't understand how people still manage to set it off, I've never once done it apart from when my internet was playing up and I frustratedly clicked the same button for ten seconds

I'm in agreement with Artoir here, it's fine. I've set it off twice, once while the net was dodgy and once drunk.
And scripts can be written so that when criterion X is fulfilled (ie mob appears) then to execute the command to select the expo and select to start faster than any human. If people could cheat they would.
Bad luck is just bad luck. Replace the mouse

I used to set the antibot off and it frustrated the heck out of me because I know I wasn't physically hitting my button repeatedly or refreshing like a maniac. It happened on my old laptop which in it's later days must have been ultra sensitive and the only solution that worked for me was to use a plug in mouse. I have not had a problem with it on any other computer/laptop since.
In hindsight I don't think it's the antibot system that needs fixing. The problem lies on the players end. Don't be impatient, adjust your mouse sensitivty, or get a new one.

the anti-bot is to stop well bots lol
so what if when u get anti-botted u can type in a code like when u top up ur premmy or want to start an expo
to prove that ur human and not a bot/script and the ban will be lifted ?

Maybe if there are a certain amount of bans in a time period a longer ban that cannot be stopped with a code can be given?

Really? Did you read any of the thread? Before there was an antibot there were those making scripts. You don't need to be a computer programmer to make one, so your technophobia isn't really a valid argument here.

10 times... an hour ban is excessive .. if it was 100 times then I could understand it but it wasnt so shh
You stepped down as a mod - so why still act like one? Didnt say you have no knowledge of how it works either I just said you cant come back & moan in different threads when expos & things like that have changed since you "retired"
I fail to see how Im a technophobe .. I just dont see the point in cheating on an online game.. what will it accomplish? not a whole hell of a lot.. "WOOOWWWW IM #1 ON AN ONLINE GAME THAT I CHEATED ON YAAAAY GO ME" ... amazing..
It needs its sensitivity changing .. clicking 10 times over in the same space isnt a bot .. its a mouse getting stuck - not someone trying to script an online game or someone cheating at a REAL TIME BASED game..
¬.¬ Because this game is OBVIOUSLY unhackable like sony.. you could get through with a click D:
