Solution to Bots, Macros, Auto-clickers, Mouse Recorders

Well I have an alternative solution to the auto clickers in HR and quests. I have mentioned it before....
Add auto fight to HR and quest bosses.

If you think about it, 100 stamina at 2-3 mins per boss attempt means you are going to be sitting there for 3-5hrs doing nothing but heroic attempts.

And you gain a maximum of 219 stamina per day for free.

Doesn't sound that bad. Again, this is to curb the use of autoclickers, and promote the use of tactics, strategy, and planning instead of luck when tackling difficult bosses.

Who has an extra 100 sta? 4 labs = 210 sta... one piece of gear = min of 180 sta. IH and above. and chances are you dont start the day with a full sta bar anyway, or at least I dont, unless i get lucky in guild chests , but thats hit and miss. I need to time 2 of the labs with the 30 free sta twice a day which helps a bit, but 99 percent of the time I dont have enough sta. So another 100 sta drain would not be welcome at all.

I and many players of my guild spend hours in Heroic to try and beat a boss.
Luck is a big part of the game.
I feel it is strang to advice players not to play on luck since it will mean no progress for the longest time.
I think it also can be seen as determined to keep trying untill you get the perfect roll of dice.

I don't think it is a good solution to make it cost stamina.

I would however propose a countdown (after 30 minutes to an hour?) where you have to wait a few minutes and are teleported back to sonia.
This will solve the issue without adding the stamina.

I agree that it is very irritating to see someone use a bot and luck his way on the board while you are trying without a bot.
It entices using one.

I like your idea but with a small modification. Have the cooldown after a certain amount of tries for the same boss and the cooldown is variable in time, say between 5 and 10 minutes (just an example). The time left would appear below the HR icon like it does for the WB Icon. If you click on the Icon before the cooldown has expired it adds another minute to the cooldown. This will go a long ways towards defeating the autoclickers.

WHy does everyone want to complicate teh issue. If you could auto fight HR and quests like banish, theres no need to use an auto clicker and it levels the playing field for all

I must be one of the few who hasn't seen this so called problem so that's kind of why my position is that there is no problem and there isn't anything that needs to be fixed.

No idea why people insist on making reasonably small problems in to a much larger one.

Truthfully, this is only a small one. There are a tiny minority uses this type of software to speed up their game and really not by much. As I said in my previous post, trying to curb it with complicated and punishing ideas often makes what began as a small problem into a game wise concern.

I hear ya, if someone saw me doing heroics then would think I use a bot , but i dont , its just me clicking away , fighting then clicking sometimes for an hour or 2 straight and that doesn't help most of the time lol, seems like when tynon feels I am ready to beat a boss , the boss dies...go figure.

well what herby is talking about is what a few people are doing to the extreme. Im sure there are a few people who fight a hr boss at a power level that only a miracle would allow them to win. SO they use an auto clicker to have it fight that boss for 8-12 hours straight while they sleep or go to work. And doing it that many times may allow the miracle to happen. But you know I dont really see that as an issue. The issue is the game design that allows the miracle or requires the miracle to win. So if the game design isnt changed just add autofight so we can all do it without using the auto clickers and the issue goes away
