Bye bye turbo craft bots!

Just ban the botters and be done with it. Can't stand them.

catching them is the problem

id be seriously curious if they are adding other hidden protocols with this

such as something that detects enter spamming when NOT in synth stance(which would of course happen when people got interupted and their controls/programs are still running) to detect who is using them

[Treach]

Not going to ban someone for spamming enter because they aren't crafting. That's OLD SE salvage dupe ban strategy! They had some kind of flag system in FFXI for speed hacks but people still got away with rampant flee hacking and walking through walls in sea/sky/wherever all the time.

You can't trust an automized system to ban people, there will ALWAYS be exceptions and you cannot underestimate the dedication some people have... You could go and say that everyone with a Luminary is a botter but I know for certain there are people that do 7-8 hour crafting sessions themselves, at the computer the entire time.

Hell I've fished for more than 6 hours straight once. It can happen.

itl probly just make you stand up, thus interupting your crafting process if you arent there to re-enter position of synthing
itl basicaly take a good 5 extra seconds every X ammount of synths out of your day


and id say a fair number to set the bar at is 10-20, i say 10 cuz of leves(which are same synth over and over) capping out at 7

if it's this low it's just going to be more of an annoyance to people that are actually there crafting.

i'd prefer if they just went back to requested items instead of recipe to get rid of the turbo controller bots and have a higher limit. i'm not saying 500, but i would prefer it to be closer to 100. if you think of that 3k synth grind that's 30 times to stand up if you synth non stop. to me it stops the go to work or go to sleep people, but at least gives people a decent grind before having to stand up.

Speed hacking and tele hacks were not tolerated at all, at least on Sylph. The only problem was they had to catch them in the act. I've gotten a few RMT banned for this when I still played. Funny how their buddies all hated on me so bad afterwards XD

This is gonna get reaaaaal interesting.

and thats 2 hours between each check a turbo crafter has to do to see if hes standing up

a standard spammer does 50-60 synths an hour, just think about that fact right there, and base what should happen on it

100 synths is like saying you can go 2 hours straight without moving with your bot before you have to go check on it and restart it....thats too long

set it low, 20, 30 even, thats 20 to 30 minutes tops right there, which whilew it may seem inconvenient, isnt as bad as you think

[Wynn]

I will say that as long as it isn't some ridiculously low number, it probably isn't going to bother me.

I'm not sure this is the way to combat botting though. Seems like just another jab at RMT that turns players into casualties of war with silly, convoluted systems. None of the other methods that followed this pattern worked so not sure why they think this one will.

In any case, I'll reserve any further judgment on this one until I actually experience it.
