Discussion: How Can We Handle Botting Better?

[KageTokage]

So quick update here.

I found one of the bots, without the busy symbol on them. I got to see how it works. Someone was trading the bot as it was trying to teleport, so it'd get stopped. It went miner, tried again, put up truth of mountain, tried again, then got on its mount, put up busy, jumped, and flew away.

Seems what program it was, it looked smart enough to register if someone's messing with it... kinda.

If you see bots active at a normal time of day, there's a fairly good chance their owners are monitoring them.

It's not a good idea to pester them like that because a lot of them are so petty that they'll deliberately just ignore people until they've been pestered enough that they can make a case to the GMs about it.
