My only recourse is to make sure I do not associate with nor do buisness with them. If they buy my stuff on auction thats one thing but I will not deal one on one and give any sort of price break like I do for alot of the people that I trade with outside the auctions. I will not buy anything of theirs on auction no matter how low they may sell because I see them selling skills they got for free from doing this stuff.

yes the ones to defend them will say the amount of skill they get that way is minimal.. so what its just like smokin dope..whether you take one hit or smoke a pound it still does not make it right.

So, it's ok for noobies to sweat mobs and gain their 1st evade skills for free (they now even have sweat to sell for "free" peds) but it's not ok when a highly skilled ava gains some free skills?

I wanna jump to conclusions too... Oh maybe it's a terrorist.

Who has considered that calling an ava a "bot" could be insulting??

I see no evidence of a bot.

I see no ruling saying you cannot run til ya drop, and keep doing it.

I know of no ruling which says, Thow shalt respond to pm's and chat.

I do know that if you interfere with someones ava you could break the EULA, for interference with their enjoyment of the game.

Now everybody apologise, and come up with some useful threads.

Very Nice Posting and Yes I have to agree with your post to a Point. No one provided Any such Rules about this case. THis is the Section on the EULA that WE ALL MUST ACCEPT to be able to Log In

To be a Botter you Must be using a program that is Not MA Issued IE Third Party Software it Doesn't matter Who made it. Its Against The EULA.

Sweating is part of the game Intended to Skill ones Avatar. Everyone can do it and has the ability to do so. Hey if u want Dodge so badly Go sweat Bristlehog. They do Give Dodge skill nowadays.

note the word "equipment".. something heavy on "walk" key is also equipment..
and guess such activity doesnt need much more with last patch..

kind of weird though.. sometimes ppl here are are cursing the botter, sometimes it isnt big deal at all.. Does it depends on "botters" skill levels..???

[Phobia]

Jam your W (Q, whatever) key down with a paperclip and recieve the same results! No third party software or equipment required

[DrSlinky]

I'm not going to defend or blame this person for botting.

Personally, when I'm broke and waiting for auctions to end, I'll TP to Oshiri, and run west, die, revive, repeat, while watching soc chat. Does this make me a bot? Hope I haven't made it onto Trina's list.

Maybe we should bring up a Calypso rescue squad witch leads this poor people to the see and let them swim away to the server border...


When I remember correctly while the secret roboter transmitter event was held some helped a player with same problem to find the see and he could swim away....

I even think he was stuck somehow at the server border when he had swum for several hours


BTW with doing this we would a) not interfere with his expirience in playing EU and b) would nearly 100% prove that there is no human behind it in control.

Now u can put a heavy item on the W key and when the ava dies, it will auto revive in 10 seconds and start walking forward. So yes, the last patch did it much easier.
No need for fancy bot programs or autoclickers anymore.

But indeed this guy mentioned in this thread, could aswell be one who doubleclick the sky and runs in a certain direction while he sits at his PC reading a magazine. Is that not allowed? And what is the big difference from putting something on the W key?

I often close my eyes and just doubleclick at the right spot on the screen every 10ish seconds when I craft. I'm often half asleep, and also falls asleep while doing that. I would not eighter respond when talked to. I would easily be mistaken for a autoclicker user.

I once met a person who skilled evade in the neconu LA *not* using a bot.

He never replied, but, as soon as I started to clear up his path, he started to run at another direction from the revival.

(I also met a "bot skiller" there, I gave him a free path, and he vanished towards the longu LA, and then I didn't see him again)

The energy costs for the computer will be higher than the skills are worth.. so why you care about that?

It was a diff. story a while ago.....
