Possible bot fix?

[Aluvian]

I was thinking about the bot issue, they still appear to be knocking around the low level areas constantly. I am aware that removing drops would make it more difficult for new players etc, however how about the removal of drops but the increase of exp (possibly gold also?) on the low level quests to enable lower level players to level quicker and get on with the rest of the game. Surely this wouldnt require much programming to implement either? just change the exp rewarded and delete the drop files for the low lvl mobs?

Might be something i'm missing but appears an easy(ish?) fix

I have already started doing this.

I have also removed trees again.

Spending way to much time on this crap.

I hear you BH.
frustrating to be drawn away from what needs to be done to constantly fix these.

couple of (quick?) suggestions.
1) upon log in you have a simple math to do before you can move.
2) upon "revival" after death (not from res) the same simple math (might make killing them worthwhile for players)
3) all province items are accountbound (mw, bw, sv, ww, tv) aside from FT ofc
4) every level up from 1-25 you get a random math question before you can carry on.
5) trap rocks in low lvl provinces that you have to shift attack and cant just click.

Good luck BH,
A nice stat if ever you have the time would be total gold from banned accounts. Might open some peoples eyes at how hard they are targetted on this server.

All great ideas and we are working on something to hopefully stop them

192 accounts banned by me so far and that is just a fast search

By any chance are these bot's from China? you'll never be able to stop them,

Use the capcha thing. Can't be that bad.

Can an you stick a tracker on people so it logs everything they do? Ie who they trade with etc? Wait for the bots to trade their **** then ban both parties.

tbh there will always be something people can take advantage of ingame you remove 1 thing and theyll change tac to another, you delete 1 account theyl make another 2 lol
the only thing u can do is spend time on it to limit them =/

You should deffo take a look into where CNmortal has been getting his cash/gear. Never hunts but seem him afkin in town with some of the best kit ingame. Most of witch came directly from TM and was very overpriced.

one of the CN characters asked me "why people no buy gold no more?" cant remember which one though:-(
