An alternative to parsing?

[Enlial]

Well, they really need to add ingame parsing and make the games memory more difficult to scan. From what I understand theres no encryption or obfuscation whatsoever. There are plenty of games out there that dont have 3rd party programs outside of hardcore paid bots simply because the devs made it too difficult to make stuff like that (as an example, ESO used to have an ACT plugin, but its developer abandoned it when the game made its memory more difficult to scan).

Parsing isn't the problem (and heck, they could even offer the option to disable parsing or "make my parse private" to individual players). The problem is that ACT is being used for things way beyond simple parsing. It's radar as far as hunts are concerned, and on top of that apparently now there's a plugin that lets people script with it? Thats pretty bad. I only recently heard about that but it does explain a lot of stuff Ive been seeing lately (wont go into specifics)... Honestly, I dont generally care when I see people doing something that doesnt impact my gameplay. Im not going to sit there and fill out reports over a bunch of teleporting gathering bots because, well, that's SE's job. They should be able to detect and deal with that sort of thing. But yeah when I see people talk like they're hot ****, when they're blatantly cheating at the game, that really grinds me. Is that petty? idk. lol
