    I've absolutely spammed a placard beyond 24 hours... And more than once (with help for breaks from my s.o.). Do you have proof that it can't actually go past that? No, you don't, just like I can't prove that it does without some screenshots that can be faked. I guess people will believe what they want in the absence of any concrete info from SE.

    That's anecdotal at best, especially with your "s.o."

    I'll take the word of Balmung's housing server before anyone else's considering that's all they do... and you don't.




    If you think you can challenge them, go on...

    You have no idea "what I do". I've reported numbers to the Balmung group. She has never updated her info with that info. Realistically, all the data on that server is "anecdotal at best". Especially if they want to pick and choose the data they want to include, and leave other data out simply because it seems unlikely.

    There is a bot in Cerberus - W15, who's been clicking placcard nonstop in a precise pattern since yesterday night. He lost the first plot to a relocator and kept clicking the placcard anyways. Then in the afternoon he moved to a new plot and he's been clicking it for the past 10h (I've been checking in & out and he's still there). Interacting with him, whispering him, trading him doesn't get any response out of them.

    So I guess I have to give up house hunting since these people are free to do whatever they want and go unpunished.

    Someone not responding to you doesn't make them a bot, though I agree it does seem likely in this case.

    So did you report it in game for cheating? No guarantee the team handling cheats would get your report and catch the bot while it's still placard spamming but they might and it's a chance to remove at least one bot competing with you for a house.

    I used to play wow and a friend was a gm there. She said there was a particular bot/spam/sell company that paid Blizzard for being left alone. Think about that when you see gather/sell bots here.

    Been watching a number of people all day clearly botting at placards. It's frustrating how broken this system is and SE don't seem interested.

    It's not that they're not interested, it's purely priorities. SE as a whole is not a company focused on MMOs. There isn't a heavy anti-cheat system or anything to shut you down. So people just do whatever- on PC, because nothing can stop them.

    Shad is on the horizon, benchmark delayed, and there are many aspects that need fine tuning and fixing. This sort of thing will just have to be addressed when the staff can take a breather and there can be funds pushed to it. Outside of an absolute, perfect totalitarian state with GMs actively watching in game or looking at your data, it wont come to a complete halt.
