The above recent support case response shows that using macros and bots is cheating and violates Mindark's ToU.
Obviously finding which players are using macros/bots is not working because the general player consensus is their usage is widespread.
Therefore, before Summer mayhem I request Mindark to implement a mechanism to combat macros/bots, a simple random popup that needs to be clicked (could contain a simple puzzle) which takes 1-5 seconds to complete, and pops up once every 20-30mins.
Surely the playerbase will support such a mechanism, as we should not have players breaking Mindark's rules that are profiting huge sums of money from Instance events like Mayhem.
MA has many adequate tools with which it can determine the actions of a player with great accuracy!
The best example in this case, which I can give from a personal example after checking, is the increase in the collision of the target in real time of a particular mob.
* The picture is divided into two parts and in the 1st example it is in an ordinary situation, as a result of which you will find the goal closest to you.
* In the second case, the collision of the mob is increased, and because the player is in it, the most distant mob becomes the closest target.
1. In case the player uses an AFK clicker, the most likely consequence will be a stuck for a long time.... but if he is a player carelessly pressing the interaction button, he would be fine in a few seconds.
2. Using a bot program that makes decisions based on RAM memory is usually instantaneous compared to normal human choice.
It is not necessary for the MA to applies these checks to every player. It is enough to be applied by a responsible person, only in cases of excessive dedication to the game.
In this case, when I personally went through these checks and from what you understand from the public opinion about the use of Macros... do you think that MA applies these tools to top players with 1 million monthly turnover?
PPRPS...
Personally, I think that interact is a very good tool in the game, because it gives convenience to older players with slower actions, compared to these ambitious 20-year-olds players... but his exploit at the moment is excessive. We just need adequate action, regardless of the player's bankroll.
