Hello,

I am a disciple of the Land, and am often in the field, levelling up or gathering materials/crystals to craft or sell.

It seems that roughly 1/4th of areas I gather in has a bot, using a hack to stay stealthed and teleport from one node to another. This may be because I happen to be at the level where I am gathering at areas where there are crystals.

I always report these players via cheating, but am uncertain if anything is being done. I once reported a cheater, and proceeded to mine at the same place as him for two hours... And he was still there when I left...


Do you understand the frustration of having to mine right NEXT TO a cheater that will always be one step ahead of you because he teleports from one node to another? Knowing that he has been doing that for a while, because he is level 30+? on top of that, you reported him and have no way of knowing if the report weht through or if it had anny effect?

I once looked up a bot the next day and he WAS STILL THERE.
This is frustrating, negatively impacts gameplay AND the economy.

The frustrating part is not as much that there are bots, but that the response time is very slow and that we have no feedback or way of knowing if it even had an effect.
Please consider:
- Implementing a program that detects client-side operations (such as teleporting). This has been done before, no need to reinvent the wheel from scratch. look at WoW or EVE online.

- Assigning more people (interns?) to go through reports.

- Implementing a system where the player can get a followup of cheater reports, to confirm what, if anything, has been done.

- Implement a faster, automated, easier way to report and tag players. right-click player, report.. Gets sent in a batch file containing, date, name of reportee, name of reporter, area, server. (people abusing this feature would be liable to punishment)


The RMT are annoying, but these bots are downright infuriating. Cheating, ruining the economy and getting away with it. And the player is powerless before them, except to report and hope vaguely that anything is being done.
