And thus the epic battle between hackers and developers begins. |

It will be a never ending battle. About the only way a game could stop this is to require a social security number and ban by that. |

Just ban the account so they will have to go and buy a new DVD each time they get caught. |

^^^^^^^^ Thats the best way to do it, also put a easy "report spam" and "report bot" buttons around to flag spamers and bots to the gms |

Dont worry... botter will have a hard time in Aion and they will not affect us in any way :) ! Since Aion is not like L2, most of the Aion game mechanics are made against botting, which means its nearly sensless to do so. I am playin the Korean Open Beta right now and have yet to see any bot... maybe this was a guy running around with a keyboard scripted targeting & attack macro... thats all :) Kind regards, |

since my first steps in lineage2 4+ years ago im amazed why devs allow makros in game. does it really help the majority of the players to do a /target or /targetNext and /attack or /follow or isnt it basicly an easy entry point for botters ? the more you have to manually target everything by clicking on it or actively swinging your sword the harder it gets for botters |

I don't really see how botting is going to be any useful. 1) you definitely don't get as much XP as questing. 2) any ultra rare items will definitely not drop from soloable monsters 3) Inventory is not insanely huge. 4) NCsoft intentionally made payment as 30 days 300 hours or 90days 900 hours to prevent botters or farmers... 4) There's really no merit in botting, because you'd be wasting valuable play time, unless your planning to play one hour a day. |

Bots are to MMOs as oxygen is to life unfortunately. We can minimise them, but until people stop buying from them they'll be there. |

Even with all the security and etc.. they'll still find a way around it all. The Only "Only" way to get rid of them is if we don't buy from them.
