Oh please, that has nothing to do with anything. What surprises me is that you needed to bot for gold.Yeah doing something that doesnt ruin anyone elses enjoyment of the game is certainly 'a new low'.

I made my gold abusing prospecting / jewelcrafting like everyone else. Your comment just came of as something someone who has never played WoW would say so I went for the '4 hours of collecting herbs' line.Oh please, that has nothing to do with anything.

Well, thing is, a bot cannot do it in PvP. They get mercilessly killed over and over again, with extreme prejudice from both teams. Their gear is also typically shit, so they die in three hits. Good job when a team actually wants to win but has the system place them with 3-5 wankers like that. "Yeah, but go premade", those types will say, well, excuse me, I already do prog raiding with my guild, and none of us has time to make a fully committed team for PvP. A random BG with a bunch of bots, oh my god it's heavan.Fight the evil that is grind. If devs wanted they could add challenge; something a bot could not handle. "a bot could do it " is a good definition of what is not a game.
But it was only £14.95!It's so sad and pitiful when wankers are willing to pay for the ability to cheat in video games.
And yet strategy guides are alive and well. Who the fuck buys those?
lol that's the most retarded thing I've read here, right after saying Skyrim is good.Yeah doing something that doesnt ruin anyone elses enjoyment of the game is certainly 'a new low'.
brb collecting herbs for 5 hours so I can afford to raid. At least I'm a honorable man.
MMO RPGS. Plenty of MMOs are not about grind and those that are should be destroyed.No shit, why the fuck are you playing MMOs out of all games then?.
Agreed. I've actually been considering making some game based on configuring/programming automated beings like that. I can't seem to picture how the exact game would be without going "hm.. nah, actually that sounds boring" though. But it really seems like there is big potential in the basic concept.say, this sounds like a good idea for a gameAh, I remember the good old days of using the bot Kore RO in Ragnarok Online, it had a sleek interface and was easy to use, you could customize your bot any way you saw fit! Tell him where to farm, what items to pick up, how to respond to every single action from other players (you could even customize the reply delay), when to go back to shops. The "game" of scripting the bot was almost more fun than the game itself. Of course, RO was rampant with bots everywhere and the developers loved it because they were all paying subs so the community was terrible. MMOs have certainly come a long way to dissuade cheaters.
One idea I had was some Dwarf Fortress-ish game with a colony of robots. You would for example configure one robot to go to location X and mine ore until Y% of carrying capactiy, then return to location Z and drop it. Also, if hostile unit is in your view - go immediately to location N (unless robot is armed, in that case fire at hostile unit until some condition is fulfilled)... and so on.
Much "fun" (as in, "losing is fun") from this would be moments like forgetting to add critical checks and commands to their instructions. For example, you forget to tell the mining robot to stop picking ore when exceeding 50% carrying capacity, causing it to just pile more and more cargo, eventually breaking down/overheating/toppling over. Or maybe you have a stationary sentry gun, and you accidentally instruct it to fire at any creature inside its view.
This game could be very simple with a point-and-click interface with very basic instructions (probably organized like a flowchart diagram), or it could be created for more advanced players were you could program the robots through external Lua scripts or something.
Hard to tell how all that would work out though. It could turn out to be just a bland strategy game with a tedious, gimmicky interface.
good for you. if you actually played WoW you would know about 50% of high end raiders / PvPers botted. Theres a difference between a hardcore WoW player who goes for world firsts and top arena ratings and some random guy who is happy doing 5 man dungeons for 2 hours when he gets off work.lol that's the most retarded thing I've read here, right after saying Skyrim is good.Yeah doing something that doesnt ruin anyone elses enjoyment of the game is certainly 'a new low'.

I wonder what would it be like if the game was properly protected against botting so that nobody could bot...hmmm...good for you. if you actually played WoW you would know about 50% of high end raiders / PvPers botted.

Being in a top raid guild / arena team while maintaining a job and some resemblance of life and NOT botting is almost impossible.
