a player is capable of doing that too, again, thats just suspiciong, its grounds to investigate but not grounds to ban

its more possible then you realize when you get 64 per day....

again, what you are witnessing is only suspicious activity, we do not determine guilt, the task force does

if the player is actualy legit, just 8 boxing it or something(even if they are future rmt in training accounts and such) that is not grounds to ban

once they cross the line, get caught with the hack/bot program or engage in an rmt activity, now that is when something can be done

actually its the opposite my whole server has determined guilt and the task force is non existent.

so many people have reported him and all they have to do is send him a tell to see that he is not even there. there is no task force.

i don't know why you always defend bots

wait? im defending bots? im hardcore against them

all im saying is players do not determine guilt, people look suspicious all the time and thats not grounds for punishment

the task force DOES exist, ive reported and gotten several people banned, but the problem in the end is you actualy have to catch them doing something wrong in order to do it

all the players on the server have no authority in proving guilt whatsoever, your accusation holds 0 merit in anything, and thats is the point im getting across(same as mine held no merit, but the person who investigated found something, and banned the players i reported)



What it comes down to, is one day maybe someone wont like you, and he will start a campaign to claim you are a bot, and post false accusations, and if people like you have your way, you will be banned for suspicion and accusations lone, and that is why players have no say in the matter

almost imposible to prove, especialy if you are on the same computer, which is another problem in itself, on another note, failure to respond to a GM is failure to follow their instructions which is a bannable offense

thats the way it works in other games

well when there is no real task force and your complaints go to an automated form and you see the same bot on your server for over a year its safe to say there is no active task force. So your idea of who places guilt has a flaw.

that's how it works in other games, not here.

what if they do invstigate your repotts? and find nothing wrong with what they are doing

when it comes to these "farming parties" of 8 players people see i can easily see how someone can do it legaly, since there is no rule against multiboxing at all

thats the problem, you have to know what rule they are breaking, and there is no rule being broken by 8 people being in a party on autofollow

1. design game awkwardly from the ground up to try to thwart RMT/botting
2. break game, RMT/botting prevails anyway
3. ???
4. no profit

square and tanaka awesome game, great job!
