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

[DrthCaedus]

personally I think this idea is foolish. Succeeding within the Heroic Realm is mostly luck as it is...with you having the ability to beat a boss consistently for weeks and then one day it takes you 40 tries to do it. The fact is auto-clicking in heroic and quest does little to speed up the progress of the game. As we all sit there and click for hours hoping to get a few extra stuns etc... Perhaps a better solution to this problem is to increase the variable stats that players can adjust when fighting the bosses to improve our ability to maximize stuns and damage.

I'm in agreement with Morgan here, having played Evony for about 3 years, any idea that punishes the many in an attempt to curb violations of the few leads to backlash and players leaving. A better solution, on your part Herby, would be to screen shot conversations where players admit to these ToS violations and report them. The best way for Tynon to combat automated software is to quickly and equally punish those who violate the ToS. Evony collapsed because they stopped punishing those who violated their ToS and the problems ran rampant. They can prevent that here by as you say, nipping it in the bud.

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

I myself hate bot users but I have to agree with Matt. There is no simple solution for it and whatever you come up with it is going to hurt the non bot users more than the bot users. So if you cannot beat them then make it so that they do not benefit more than everyone.

I sit and attack over and over for hours a day lol...I was not aware bots existed for this game. I hate the idea though. Stamina is hard to come by already. I say keep it as it is. In all the guilds i have been in, I do not know one single person who has done this.

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

Agreed. Simple, fast and economic way to make everyone's life easier without punishing the largest group of players in this game.

im sorry herby but not following you here

plz tell me how you expect to be @ a decent power level to be a heroic boss?

IT HAS TO COME DOWN TO trying to get that one very lucky multiple stun, multiple critical hit, multiple dodge run to beat the boss.

@ what power level should i try veleno then? you tell me 20m? 25m? 30m?

still have to give it 20-50-100 tries to succeed and yes the try amount will go down but still need loads of tries for it

so no i dont like that idea + expensive way to figure out a tactic if your the first to beat it..

You know the more I think about it, the more i have to agree, remove sta and make it free, you are only going to beable to beat a boss when your ready anyway, well um ....and when all the planets are in alignment...etc etc.

I agree. Autofight HR and quests.

One of the few challenges of being the top player.. figuring out the appropriate power and combination to beat Heroic Bosses.

Even if a player is botting, I would imagine that wrong formations and inadequate power will stop him from killing the boss.

Besides, it's just having your name stuck to the top left corner of the screen.. and after that.. people are just going to copy and improvise whatever formations/tactics you're using.
