Then why not make a better method of detecting bots? I've seen of several guilds farmbot actively, The message prompt really is just simply a extremely poor method of stopping bots, While it can stop people who just use simple bots to just press the sword, But you can just get a Aimbot to press the "Are you there" or even better yet get the bot to press everywhere on screen to make it hit all message prompts.
You could make it where graal will send a message to admins if there is a third party app on screen that is pressing on screen to which many other games besides graal has done, make it where the game won't start if there is a APK installed on the device, like Com2Us has done, Ect. Many other games developed good anti-cheat methods for farming and of the sort like speed hacking and ect, even zone has a system that I can detect if your speed hacking, Why is classic not able to make efficient ways to stop cheating seemingly at all?
In the entire years of Classic being around, Most advanced anti cheating method graal made, Is a message prompt that anyone who bots can just easily find a way over and only thing it does is annoy the crap out of people who actually farm.

It's not that simple. Dusty would know better than myself as he's the one who implements most of the stuff like this...but graal is ...weird i guess. It's not exactly possible to put something in graal to detect 3rd party apps. Dusty said that as far as graal knows, it's the only thing that exists lol. So I'll just leave it up to him to better explain why it's not simple and why the prompt and other things we've imprinted are pretty much the best we can do.

I doubled check the thread and Aguzo never said "I swinged 5-10 times) etc. My bad if he did, I probably missed it.
|
He hid it in a spoiler in an earlier post (dunno why it was in a spoiler):
|
I slashed maybe 5-10 times, before I noticed that I was dragged, then I said in chat “I’m not botting.”

-----------------------------------------
Again, i'm not judging the decision that was made by the admin for few reasons: - The staff aren't trained enough to face such situations. That's because it's voluntary work, no specific education is required.
- There are very few ways that the staff can do to check if the player is using a bot or not in this game.
- The players can do many things in this game that may look suspicious. For example the accusation of "long sword hack", when the actual clarification is abusing the order of movements and hit directions of the game-according to thallen
ETC. |
The staff are trained by their GPAs how to handle such situations, and if they aren't sure they usually ask someone who would know better. They don't just make guesses or anything. It would be nice if there were better ways to detect bots but unfortunately as of right now there isn't (as I said before, something Dusty could explain better).
But I mean usually when a player is dragged away and they still continue to "farm" as if nothing had happened, that's a pretty damn good indication that they're using a bot. A normal human most likely wouldn't do that...unless they're zoned out watching TV while controlling 3 devices at the same time i guess. But how often does that happen?

I believe she means when he was dragged he kept swinging his sword. In doing so, he appeared to be a bot and must have at least swung his sword 5-10 times. He may not have seen the screen at the time he was dragged and it was too late when he did take action.

basically summarized. Everything about the situation looked super bad on Aguzo's end and like I said, anyone else including myself would have thought he was botting, too. It sucks botting can't be more easily identified...but it's not the staff's fault for thinking he was botting when it
oh so very much appeared like he was.
