Hello
Over the months I have encountered a few bots as well as having read exceeding amount of claims that Mindark condone automated gameplay via scripts, macros etc even people encouraging using macros to hunt completely afk.
I was shocked to hear that so many are using macros to hunt and submitted a ticket where I got the response "Autoclickers or any other software that influences the Entropia Universe client or gameplay are prohibited." But apparently other people are getting varying answers from support tickets, saying you're allowed as long as its not a sophisticated macro involving heal/repairs etc and just autclicking interact, other are saying you can bot as long as your mouse has built in macro hardware as long as its not autoclicker.exe.
I know for a fact there is a lot of people using macros to automate gameplay especially now with mayhem where its easy to hide in an instance.
In my opinion any kind of botting or automated gamplay outside of what is within the game design (auto-use tool, crafting etc) devalues any legit players time and accomplishments, it creates this situation where if you're not botting you're instantly at a disadvantage.
So my question is:
Am I the fool for believing there was no way a company would allow bots in their game and I should have been botting all this time?
If this is not the case is anything being done to counteract botting or is it the case of "yeahhhhh its against the rules but actually we dont give a fuck because we're benefiting monetarily so knock yourself out m8"
I would really like a clear answer and hopefully some action taken.
