Discussion: How Can We Handle Botting Better?

[Chouxbun]

I see them early (EU) morning on Chaos when all is quiet...all level one going through their first quests. I'm sure it's been said before but it's very difficult to report them as they have horrible names and move so fast you can't always catch them. And you can't right click and report a character, only if they say something. Which these bots levelling up don't - so no real way to catch them.

But as has been said, that would only be open to abuse anyway with peeps reporting non-bots due to some quarrel

That's why I use an emote with them. You get the name in your chatlog and you can easily copy and paste it. Another way is by doing a player search in the zone you're in to find them. Still they should allow you to right click and report. They can prevent it from being abused by a lot of ways.

Ya, those hgeryiwbgewbg ones are difficult to get on a list just because of how their names are.

My post was actually dealing with gathering bots that have legit names, but these are an annoyance too.And unlike the gatherer bot, they can deny a low level player the ability to finish a quest, since they snipe kill everything instantly with their 35 fire's.
