[quote="JACKELPUP"]User "Stirling" is botting at the trolls and taking mobs from other players. I don't have any fancy software to record it so I can't "prove it". I have some screenies but they don't prove it. I could not PK him as his level was too low for mine. He macro potted against other players of lower level when attacked. Stirling, please stop botting, your repeated mob stealing is no fun for lower levels struggling to get on in the game. Jac[/quote]

[quote="PROTEUS"]As far as I remember, botting and taking mobs is fine, as long as the person is at their computer and they are not deliberately trying to harass you by killing only mobs you want to hit. [/quote]

[quote="JACKELPUP"]He was not at the keyboard .... took him 40mins to answer my PM to ask him to stop it 8([/quote]

[/quote] Since when has botting been allowed whether at keyboard or away from the keyboard or am I mistaken? I thought that the botting thing was a third party client and therefore not allowed maybe im wrong. [/quote]

[quote="ASBJORN"]Would suggest this maybe should have been done in a pm to Isylver and finito instead of bringing this to the forums again [/quote]

[/quote] Isylver has said in the past on several occasions that botting is somethign he doesn't like but as long as you're at your keyboard and not AFK he won't ban. But if he pops up and you don't reply in less than 3 seconds you'll get banned. I don't know if that has changed recently though. Botting is usually just a script that controls mouse movements, it does not use a different client so there is no hacking or anything like that happening. Personally, I think that without botting this game wouldn't survive, most casuals just can't keep up with the multis. Botting allows some added fun without the constant repetitiveness and helps even the playing field. Some people are just not built to monopolize every part of the game like multis. That is just my opinion though. I use a bot, I'm lvl 48 and probably will never reach lvl 100. I just don't have the stamina for it. [/quote]

[quote="ABC123"]i swear all hsoma do is just bitch and moan, getting people banned, and you even post on forum rather then PM idiots grow up its a game [/quote]

He caught me in the past and now i make sure i dont go afk, at all, ever while im hunting.[/quote]

[quote="HUNGRY"]Be nice if people outside a certain circle had access to such things as this. Maybe something that the gamemasters can release.[/quote]

[quote="KOBRA"]Yes, I think thats interesting point Hungry makes. Perhaps the gamemasters could at least ponder amongst themselves the possibility of implementing a bot type function into the game so all players can benefit from it. I'm aware it goes against the grain and the spirit of the original game but i really believe it would maintain and increase user count and help the game evolve going forward. Many players have access to Bots and they all obviously all keep it within their social groups and its no coincidence they are mostly higher level. It greatly aides leveling. [/quote]
