Eureka: Mods delete the post showing bot owner admitting to botting

but still dont ban the bots.

The devs/mods of this game protect botters more than their actual playerbase.

There is a rule about posting peoples ingame names on the forum. Accusation valid or not.

Ill rescind that by pointing out that a bot is not a player, even if the account is registered to a real person, its a program playing the character 99.9% of the time.

You can't rescind my post I made?

it doesn't matter what you THINK of the account.. you cannot name and shame on the forum. Even if the evidence is that the account is being played with automation.


There is no reason or validity to starting witch hunts here. Either they will act on proof you send them directly, or they won't.

Your constant spam doesn't help. Your witch hunts are against the rules.

The fact they aren't acting as fast as you'd like on bot accounts doesn't mean you need to be annoying and break rules on the forum.



Bots are a problem for a lot of people, myself included. Being obnoxious about it just makes you a different problem.

just want to point out.. devs are in zero way responsible for moderation in any form.

nor do I believe Japanese developers, who write code, would bother perusing the english forums looking for posts to delete

you "named and shamed" which is against forum policy, thats why your post went away.

Remember, SE does not take 3rd party evidence when issuing warnings and bans. Now enjoy the world first races. :^)

One person botting on ten accounts brings in more profit than any one of us. That's why "BoTs ArE bAnNeD iN wAvEs" by the four-person STF. 🙄

waiting for things to escalate and people start sending tells, and random invites to the bots, hits the wrong person and gets banned for harassment :V

That topic itself broke the rules.

i mean as hilarious as it was it also showed us how to murder the bot players which can also be used to just... murder innocent players if you wanted to troll which, y'know, is also against the rules.

That's exactly what i did see not so long ago on reddit. In the middle of the veryyyyyyyyy long post complaining of having being unjustly banned, the only relevant lines were the method he used to "detect" bots : sending them private messages, group invites and trade requests. If i am in the middle of a boss fate fight, busy doing my rotation, i don't think i would be pleased that some self-proclamed hero of justice start sending me "hey, are you here ?" and "if you don't answer in five seconds i am reporting you for boting !" mps, before trying to trade me repeatedly.

But what if this guy makes dozens of other players stop the game because they can't stand to see bots anymore ? Wouldn't that bring more money to ban all the boter accounts ?

Too many whiteknights and whales around for any sort of bot or boycot to have an effect on SE's treatment of the playerbase

Deleting a topic is a lowhanging fruit. Banning botusers is more difficult. :)

But they should seriously go after the customers of the RMT services and ban them. Without customers, it dies very quickly.

? Where did I whiteknight?

I went to Walmart and the guy at the McDonalds was cooking burgers while my car needed work to be done on it.

In companies, people have their own job. The guys deleting posts on the forums (for clear rules violations) aren't doing that INSTEAD of going in and banned bots, fixing job balance, fixing code bugs, etc.
