What Will Happen Next ?

[akang99]

hello dude, what do you think 'bout this ?



it's from alina's twitter .

[hrenakpwn]

then most of the trainers would be perm patched, at least for the most part

[Xzibia]

Yeah botting will be severely halted, possibly stopped since quest load is impossible.

[Great Barrier]

False. Hope.

[akang99]

False. Hope.

we are hoping they are forgetting to be implemented that

What I mean is that Alina is just giving the non-botters false hope.
If they really wanted to stop botting, they could have done it ages ago. Botters are players, players means money, money means their business can continue.
Instead, they post in the 'Design Notes' and on Twitter accounts that they're going to do something about it - to keep the non-botters happy - but they never will. They've been doing this for a very long time.

Take this post from 2013 - https://www.aq.com/gamedesignnotes/attackplan-3262
Look at what they said they would do... now how much of it actually happened? None of it.

Private servers like HiddenProject have already prevented botters better than AE has - do you think AE doesn't have the capability to the same? They can easily stop botters, but they're a big part of the game now. They would prefer it if players didn't bot, but they don't want to stop them from playing altogether which is what they fear.

That's what I'm saying all those years!
Do you remeber guys when AE patched the insta-respawn on DM? They started to ban a lot of botters...
Result: Their servers went empty, and they gave a "second chance" to everyone.They're so nice, right?

So true, and I remember this happening in the past and how many server I saw go totally "Dead".

About the Prison Map, Isn't that the same thing as just dropping a player in a Prison Cell or something?

If they actually did Encourage players not to bot, and only rewarded the "Non" botters for not doing it In the first place, then they'd still lose a lot of players;
AE has to understand, that people or at least most people are lazy, don't have the time to play this game, or want something like this to gain an advantage in the game, and this exists for most game's that allows Bots or Trainers, or Third-Party Software to be implemented in.
The only thing I don't agree with, Is those "Hack Menu's" on game's that allow you to OPK or Telekill or have Godmode or Infinite Ammo or anything in relation (Maplestory - This game was really Insecure back then, Combat Arms, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. etc.) I just find to be stupid, and ruin the point of even trying to play the game, if you can't even play it at all.

Botter's don't render gameplay "Unplayable", It's just there to "Help" players If they don't really want to work for anything themselves on the game, or just want a small advantage TO work for something.

There's a big difference when it comes to "Hacking", and "Botting", and I definately don't agree with the "Hackers" portion of it all.
Not.. that there's a problem with it or anything on AQWorlds, It's just that Botting Isn't really having a toll on gameplay or playing as much as AE would like to think It does, and rendering Botting "Unusable", would cause them to lose a lot of players like last time.

I honestly think AE won't do anything. 10+ empty servers wouldn't help the company's image at all.

Goodluck to all. I am coding a bot specifically directly to work after the rewrite, featuring actual mouse movements,
and a few other stuff I'm looking into. I'd like to introduce the "2nd-gen botting" era sometime after phase 1.

I highly doubt there will be any great change, but I'm liking the proactivity.
If you're making the typical Flash trainer, mouse movements will be very easy (if they will avoid the changes).
Good luck with whatever you're up to. More people need to be active coders.

[buttnoob]

they cant do any fix becuz the bot is client side so nothing will be changed

Bot is client side?

[Eternity]

DON't TRUST @Argorok11 and @Great Barrier
THEY ARE LIEING ABOUT AQW NOT REMOVING BOTTERS, THEY WILL SUE YOU FOR 1 MILLION DOLLAR IF YOU EVER BOTTED. I SUGGEST YOU STOP BOTTING....

is what i would have said in 2013.

But yeah this i another way of preventing non botters to lose hope in stopping botters.


Closest they got is adding a location for shop id, but I wonder why they cannot do the same for quest id.

[UserV]

Really doubt this will happen. Botters make up at least 25% of the AQW community, if not more. Seems like another scare tactic to me.
