Hunt Gold Farmers - Possible solution?

[Sorry]

Too lenient, first ban should be no less than a month.

Nah i think it's fine and this way they will learn not to do it again, it's easy and might work, Also removing the Hunt gold from people that get cought or if they pent it in the game shop to buy stuff to delete that stuff from them, this way they will learn to play fair imo. I think this might be the easyet solutin...

This is the best solution in terms of having an impact but requires a lot of man hours for a single person to police.

It needs resolving at a game system level so that Jamie doesn't have to dedicated any additional time to it once the change has been made.

Make it so the max hunt gold you can have is equal to current cost of temp buffs *2. IF your hunt gold is above this then you will not gain anymore?.

Will prevent people from AFK farming up buffs without activating and spending some HG

Downside it means it takes longer to save up for perm buffs, as they have to run temp ones at the same time

It’s alright apparently my idea is absolutely bollox as I was swiftly torn asunder on Discord, Jamie stepped in and has already confirmed his solution to this.

Hunt Gold will become a physical drop with a pick up range of 1 to 1 so you have to physically move over it and pick it up. No more AFK gold farming.

woudn't a a simple marco for pressing tab solve this?

how would a macro know where the gold is in relation to you and the map?

Just wear pickup+ items and press tab after kill?

It would become far too tedious in the long run... gold hunt as a drop currency is a terrible idea imho specially because the just is paying for the sinners in this case.

The pick up range is fixed at 1 to 1, you have to physically stand on top of the drop to pick it up. Pet / pickup range items wont effect your ability to pick up the item.

as some suggested and I think it may have been Jamie , have it pick one up and then its automatic again for 15 minutes or so.

not too much of a problem then and even the people walled up in snow should be ok ( ish ! )

so you want mobs to drop the hunt gold? I'm lost, I thought mobs were going to drop it, so you could just spam tab, or even just press it once every minute or so..

Got it n one, the mobs will drop the hunt gold, the only difference is the dropped item will be set to 1-2-1 for picking up meaning you need to stand directly over it to obtain it. + pickup items won’t affect this so you would still need to stand on top of the hunt gold each time.

Well that’ll work I guess, tad annoying I guess you have a pig so you don’t have to pick stuff up lol

 

[Sorry]

But the people who use macros to do this have a pig aswel... so i'm not sure how this will help since their pig can colect the hunting gold aswel

It could be a bit of a nightmare though, I mean, what if you need to TT due to the amount of mobs etc/dieing? Leaving your HG on floor?

Then you lose your hunt gold? Same as you would lose any other item if it dropped and you TTed.


In relation to the other posts im not sure what’s difficult to understand?

Hunt gold drops as a normal item, it has a pick up fixed range of 1-2-1 so you have to physically stand on top of it to pick it up. The item is not flagged for pet pick up so it won’t recognise it. Meaning you have to manually walk on top of the gold and press tab for every piece of hunt gold you pick up. No low level automation / basic macro can get round this, not my preferred solution I much preferred what i suggested hardcoded into the game.

The only nightmare here is to CONSTANTLY go out of your way to pick up hunt gold... forever...

Not annoying for the melee classs but may feel tedious for the ranged ones, either way there hasn’t been anymore word on it so we might not see it change at all.
