Is Google translating slang terminology now? At the time of writing the original comment is "aw dangit" and Google has a translate to English option which will translate it as " oh, come on"
I run a server for a game with pvp, It's ridiculous how many cheaters invite me into their base for assistance and then cheat like the minute they think I leave. Think there's some psychological power trip with cheaters and getting close to staff
Not necessarily, It's as easy for the game developer to detect a new bot as it is for the bot developer to make another version that the game dev needs to go figure out how to detect again. And they're not going to ban the bots the moment they detect them cuz they want to study the technology they're using. So they can hopefully prevent one iteration of the bots to make the bot developers work harder
@@the_undead That is why I liked early WoW, the whole point of the subscription system was to have active GM's like in Ultima Online, Everquest, Dark age of Camelot. But then the merger came and they decided to remove all GM's and take the subscription right down the pocket and start with like 6months ban waves. So they got like 5 months of ruined economy and celebrate for a few weeks and start over.
I don't get bot thing. What exactly was the buddy doing? Explain it like you're talking to a 40 year old construction worker who fried Chicken at night time.
The bots essentially play the game for you, you can go away from the computer do other stuff and the bot will do everything automatically, like kill mobs, go certain places, sell items
Imagine there’s a job where you have to pick up and move boxes from one place to another, and you get paid per box. Now imagine, instead of doing it yourself, you buy a robot to do it. It does it really poorly but can work 24/7 so you still make a profit (though less than if you did it yourself). Now you are making money without having to actually do anything. Now imagine that everyone else also knows about this job, and also can buy the robots. Suddenly, you now have thousands of robots doing the job badly around the clock, and anyone trying to do the job legitimately find it flooded by bots. Now imagine that the company that runs the job, decides that no bots are allowed and start removing bots that show up, and banning the people using the bots as well. However, this is a temporary solution, and starts an arms race between the company’s ability to detect and eliminate bots, and the bot makers’ ability to disguise their bots as real people to avoid detection. That’s basically the botting issue.
@@zaxhorix yeah I've reported bots before. Often you can find them running into an obstacle, which normally id assume they were just lagging, but when they stop, throw a heal or buff, then start running into the same thing again you know its just operating a script
@@ShadowmibThor has talked about this in regards to WoW in the past. He was catching bots by finding common travel routes used by them to get them stuck. I'm assuming there was some backend detection stuff used and they would ban that account for botting.
MMO at higher tier like where there’s any level of actual commitment just seems like real life where rich people do illegal shit and get away with it until they get publicly caught 😅
Definitely a setup. Some higher up said you can not ban someone unless you can porve it. And the only way to do that is to bring them to the risk department and check of they are active online.😅
I have questions. Did the "risk" guy also knew his local buddy? How did he know who to check his account if he didn't? Did Thor tell him this guys account beforehand?
@@Sully6615 Thor actually (in a way) explained that you want to ban bots in waves, to make it harder for their makers to figure out how they got detected
@@Sully6615 Reporting bots in waves is in fact worse for the people that create and sell the bots. You're acting so high and mighty, yet you don't understand something as simple as that.
Man, wish I had friends like this. I cheated in a seven days to die private server with my friends and now they’re no longer my friends, even though i barely cheated. Here’s some context. They would wait until about two in the morning to even start the server to play. I was not allowed to log onto the server unless they were on or they would reset me for going ahead and progress, even though in the main owner of the server has had like 700+ hours on it. I don’t have that kind of time at two in the morning to seven days to die, which is a very grinding game in the first place so I creative mode and just did things that were fun to me without going too far ahead but once he found out… blocked 15 years gone, he won’t even message me never did but tbh saw it coming because hes entitled and thinks everyone needs to listen to him. I even told the guy when wemod updates for 7days i’d cheat and i did. Never once did he say you’re gonna get banned from the discord and ghosted/blocked by all his friends too. Long story short people get mad wayyyy to easily. Plus we weren’t doing PVP and we had mods installed 2 so its not like i was ruining achievements or anything. But nope not allowed to plead my case nor want to. Called him a child & then left.
Violation of trust. Doesn't really matter what the thing was or whether you liked the server setup, this was a very clear-cut instance of you doing something you knew you weren't supposed to but you were hiding it from your friends to make it "okay". Violated trust has consequences.
