Mizu is packed with low lvl bots. Running around harvesting chestnut tree's for days on end. They are for a fact aswell because when I attack them they just prceed to try and harvest the trees instead of running or saying anything. I'd say a GM shold just stabnd about there for a bit, see who's botting and bann them fo good. So unfair if they start buying good items from botted cash.

Yea i noticed the same thing ... i think this is because people struggle with money ... and trust me you dont make that much money from trees ( depending on your luck in finding gold chest nuts ) i made like 120k in 3 hours of trees ....( i will never harvest trees again )

The Roms did this with spider teeth when they were 500g each and made a fortune.

Best way to make money from Chestnuts... Kill noobs who are harvesting them.

don't make much money out of them but i don't see why i should hunt and harvest in 2 different moments while others seem to hunt, mine and harvest at the same time with bots..

makes no sense.. want to use 2 or 3 or 4 accounts at a time? ok do it but don't use macro tools like AutoIT or AutoHotkey.. do it oldschool like Kramamira does :)

Would be interested to know the names of some of these...

If you see any of them that you are pretty certain, please raise a ticket in game and we will certainly investigate.

Samuel, would it be easier to add some sort of function to report suspect players in-game? How I mean is that you add a function that allows players to "Alt + RightClick" other players which brings up a hover menu that have options like "Trade / Invite / Whisper / Report / Mute".

This way any suspect player can be reported on the spot and you could even try and record certain aspects of this player once reported, for example;

Player One reports Player Two, once Player Two has been reported he/she will be logged via the server to check for cheat/bot/abuse.

I'm terrible at coding but I'm sure you guys could figure out a way to log certain aspects to suspect botters, by movement and killing I guess. As for cheaters I guess you could do the same (check speed, although you seem to have that working pretty well), just check certain aspects during the reported session (let's say you record the reported players action for 30mins). Lastly, abuse would be pretty simple if you were able to log that specific players input text thus giving you appropriate evidence to take action.

The other options on the Hover menu would just be Handy I guess, like being able to Mute someone or Add to friend.

Ive noticed these bots many times. And they are deffo bots, as they seem to be there 24/7, and respond to nothing

Anyone who says u dont earn much from harvesting chestnuts is wrong.
I earn around 100k every 30-45mins somtimes ALOT more depending on luck, so lets just round tht off to 100k per hour to be on the low side.

100k x 24 hours = 2.4m per day, per bot.

2.4m x 7 days = 16.8m per week, per bot.

16.8m x 3 bots a week = 50.4m a week. Not alot of gold is it.

And my only guess is most of this gold is supplyed to the "goldseller" you see shouting in BW who is trying to sell 1m for £12GBP.
(ill let u do the rest of the maths)


and this is based on just 3 bots.


@shank, its easy to see the difference between automation and somone using a 2nd window

@breezer only thing i see with tht is people will mostly abuse the system reporting anyone for anything, making sams job hard to find the legit reports to the troll ones (i guess hes having trouble with tht atmo with the bug report system)

Well, that would explain the screenshot of a guy with 49mil in his bag - hosted on a romanian image website

Oh great.

Maybe the developers should monitor gold levels because 49mill for a 26/27 Sin is a pisstake and obvious cheating. Thought this was a relativly fair server, seems not.

Oh lordy loo. That was taken about a week ago, that guy must have over 100m by now.

Could be one of those no lifers though, there are a few of em on here.

Could be one of those Romanian botters though. Plenty of them on here.

I started this game a few days ago and i already have seen these bots, i have also seen 4 or 5 chinese players selling gold, it is a very common thing and it has been going on since the start, since a player with CNabc or something like this showed me 129m on my first day when i was asking for 20k gold then gave me nothing.....prik

Then you make sure the person enters in a "cAPTCha" and reason to as why they reported them, after all it's the same system but saves you having to remember / write down name.

I'm pretty sure they can filter it out and would rather more tickets than forum threads.

This is really annoying and ruining the game for the real grinders.

What map do they normally bot on?

Any ideas on how this can be stopped?
