End of "auto-bots" is coming

[ZzEndayZz]

Well, here I am again! The end of auto bots is coming!

Quoting from english darkorbit forum:

"Let us start by distinguishing between the two types of bots: bonus box bots and auto-bots. The first collect bonus boxes constantly, the second covers other bots like Galaxy Gate bots, NPC bots and Auto-lock bots.

The diminishing bonus box rewards that we introduced approximately two months ago have had an amazing effect on the bonus box bots, without punishing the normal players. We have done an extensive analysis and it shows a massive decrease in unfair gameplay via bonus box bots. However this has had a negative effect also: a lot of such users have switched now to NPC botting.

For the last few weeks we have been developing a system that will stop auto-bots from functioning, and we will roll this out very soon."

Thread link:

So bot hard..

PS. I don't want ANYONE commenting "omg this is useless **** bot developers will find a way around this blahblahblahblah".. JAJAJAJA they will find a way around it but not in a while...

omg this is useless **** bot developers will find a way around this blahblahblahblah

Well, I hope that "very soon" will be at least some weeks more...

[thebizon]

Two possibilities I think:
1) Game becomes full-donate ****
2) Bots will continue working hah

P.S. About NPC bots - I'm almost sure there's the only way to stop wise npc botting - restricting killing NPC's. There can't be such script that can detect npc bots.

Soon....they will do the same thing for NPCS! No. That was a terrible joke, but knowing them, it could happen.

It will become...THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET URI IS BY BUYING IT!
What will they honestly do to NPCs? I honestly want to see how...

It's the waiting game now.

[bot_user1234]

[kamieniarz]

[daswoll56]

If they make cooldown of uridium like bonusboxen to streuners and lordakia's everyone will bot x3 or higher maps , actually they cant really do much about npc bots i think.

[Geralk]

dunno if its end of bots or not, but if bots die darkorbit die too o.o

[BaD.MiZo]

Ony in 2012 => Darkorbit started to go deeper in the dark of its end!
They don't care about players anymore, all they want is stop botters and till now they can't know the normal player from the botter player, As a result they banned alot of normal players which won't play the game anymore and I guess with this Anti-system of bonus boxes and Auto bots => will become the End of darkorbit Thanks to Bigpoint.

I know one shouldn't cite himself, but here is what I wrote in another forum half a year ago:

You seem to forget that botting is prohibited and makes the game very unfair for those who can't/don't want to bot. That botters get banned is pure justice and you've got to deal with it. It seems like many people think that they can do whatever they want, but want they don't seem to get is, that it destroys the game slowly. In my opinion things might change when botting is so far restricted as to the point, where you can (as a normal non-botting/cheating/etc.) keep up with the botters/cheaters.

A very exaggerated example of what I mean:
You are not allowed to kill people in the real world. Now only because you have some kind of weapon that kills and let's you get away with it (without punishment), you're not automatically allowed to do it. You can't just say something is allowed because you can do it without punishment.

You people say that BP/the game creators destroy the game. Well I think that YOU destroy the game with all your botting and cheating. You take away the fun for the real players. You don't have the money to keep up with the good players? Well, I think if no one would bot, then the prices would be much smaller.

The game creators/managers have not yet even got near to what they would be able to do against botters. Every bot (including this one (refering to PBDO here) can be easily detected by strange behavior on the lower level. One day they might start doing this. Then only the REALLY good bots will survive (but this I do not mean iBot nor kBot nor any other bot. This bot has the potential, yet doesn't use it) and only those botters that bot that little, that normal players can keep up with them.

Please discuss in appropriate language and only valid arguments. Thanks.

(Please note that this information is 6 months old and things and (especially) bots have changed!)

Now they would only have to decrease the amount of URI you have to spend to get good gear and everyone could compete - botters and nonbotters, cheaters and clean people.
