Suggested Updates to the War on 3rd Party

Three suggestions @Kyronix

1.) Make the disconnects more frequent. It's rumored that players are still abusing these clients by using auto-reconnect features and scripts (that supposedly take 0.1s to get you back in game) built in to said clients to stay botting on them. They are automating the relogging every few minutes.

2.) Add checks for disconnection at login, server select, character select, and when entering the game. Make sure they can't even get in to the game in the first place if possible. Perhaps add a timer before they can reconnect or a temporary lockout?

3.) It's been rumored that every time you are disconnected from the game for using these programs your account also gets you a mark, which gets you banned without question if you are paged on. Make this a reality if it's not already.

Make this your signature if you are tired of Vendor Search being broken, over FIVE YEARS and counting.
Vendor search rendered useless after Publish 106 – Forsaken Foes on August 14, 2019.

    Regarding #3. Not sure about this, i have been disconnected multiple times.

    Usually running a file check and restarting fixes this, but I am absolutely not running any third party client just cc.

    I would hate to get a mark because of this.

    He said for using the illegal programs. Assuming that BS set up something that determines what client is being used, and disconnects anything but the CC, Web CUO, or EC, then a disconnect while using an approved client wouldn't flag or mark your account.

    @Kyronix I think this is very telling. We need #1 ASAP! As I mentioned in the other thread, they are now running scripts and using crazy built in functions in the client to auto relog to essentially mitigate this change completely!!!!!!

    Let's think about this from another perspective.

    The fact people are going to these lengths, suggests they do not have another satisfactory option?

    Would you agree these lengths are extraordinary?

    Now if there did not exist 2 unequal playing fields in the first place... or IF Classic Client had maintained some progress to meet quality of life requirements.

    I personally think GCHQ should be called in to crack the algorithm.

    Satisfactory option to... what? Bot sampires? This picture is trammel Nujelm and the player is on a sampire. Gee, wonder what's going on?

    We do. We want to see every last botter ground into the dirt and deprived. You don't have any sort of problem with that, do you? lol

    Yes I do, I think you are too extreme, judgemental and downright nasty in your viewpoints.

    Seriously onto that specific topic, there must be specific things they can do, not any of your suggestions that involve taking out the majority of the playerbase, but more targetted.

    Yeah buddy, hate to tell you this, but the part where anyone has respect for botters feelings ain't coming. I think they should all be banned.

    But you don't only behave like that to Botters, you do it to everyone, anytime anyone disagrees with you.

    I'm pretty sure LilyGrace has never botted.

    Yeah I'm a big meanie who can't be nice to anyone. Know what I can do though? Stay logged into the game for more than four minutes at a time. LMAO

    I think it's time we left this one to the devs.
