Bye bye turbo craft bots!

[Wynn]

Is it one of those thread where people over-reacted on something they haven't experienced yet, and it ends up it's not so bad after trying it out ?

We shall know the answer soon.

I'm not so sure I see anyone over-reacting here. Then again, on these boards you can't say a word without someone accusing you of crying, complaining, arguing, trolling, etc..

If SE want to really stop bots they need to have code searching for these things.

warden is so crapware. its worse than punkbuster

SE could take some notes on how to police their client from CCP games which does an awesome job at watching their clients and looking for bots

Better than what we got, which is nothing.

Besides its an example.

If you thinking botting is bad now, just wait til addons.

While I may feel it is silly, it is in the ToS. The specific portion (at least as I read it):

...during the course of an absentee play investigation, players may be requested to respond to or comply with a GMs instruction. Failure to do so is consider a violation and may result in disciplinary action being taken against the account.

Alright, thanks for the clarification, that is pretty solid evidence actually.

I'd still argue that what I do shouldn't be against TOS, but the method GM's would use that you've quoted here is probably the easiest way to uncover botters so I wouldn't consider it a good thing if they were to remove this from the ToS.

They can block it, but it's going to take a watchdog process or something that can intercept bot libraries being called to hook into the game. (Such as pcap loading to read the games network packets) It's not something that SE would want to develop on their own, they would have to buy this from a company that makes such software and include it.. although I'd probably support them doing something like this.

SE generally isn't very good with security if XI is any example.

[Jadi]

Actually I got an idea to stop this possibly.. I just don't know if windows can do it.

What if, when the game is patched the first thing it does after patch is prelink itself and randomizes it's memory address ranges. That way each client would have unique address ranges. This process can be done on Unix and Mac systems..

/hurray now shard prices will be back up to 400-500g a piece so you wont be wanting to do non stop crafting anyway
