General

I'm very tired of reporting all my daily count every day !

@lolmiggy: Mhmm, that's how I've been doing it.

@revulvr: Yes, I know this. ^^

I don't even bother reporting the DS botters anymore. I only report the high lv botters at ksh.

Let's say my policy was in effect right now and I found someone whose job is to bot. Wherever they're working might have 50 clients of MS running. An IP ban would permanently ban all of them. Wouldn't it be extremely frustrating to have all these accounts banned wave after wave before they can even mobilize their assets to sell them off?[/quote]

Problem is, it costs money to hire the people needed to run a competent IT department that can track the IP relays used by these "professional" hackers and block them as they appear.
Also, an effective IP block has the potential of inadvertently blocking actual paying customers.

Remember who we're talking about here.

Honestly just ks them. I did it once I'm pretty sure the person betting must have had his eyes on his client cause he left after 5 mins of me ksing him.

@lolmiggy:
I assume if a person can use hacks like those, then things like IP bans and especially regional bans won't put a dent most likely considering it is a job for them.

Elite bosses broke the game. Literally 7-10 demon slayers in one map. They look like cockroaches.

IP ban plus country or regional ban. Even though some can go around that, it would significantly decrease the amount of them.

It's nowhere near as simple as people make it. How would you ban a person who is using a fake account and fake name with
no other identifying mark. The only way they can fix this is by patching the hack those botters are using. Banning botters does nothing
except make the GMs frustrated even more. I would rather them work in other areas of the game than a banning botters brigade.
Though i wished the GMs actually played this game so they would have a better understanding of the current situation.

The thing is, hackers are different from macroers in that hackers will inevitably make a new account and be at the same spot in a negligible time frame. Nexon needs to attack the root of the problem, whether it be limitations to character creation, nerfing elite bosses in some way (refer to what's already in KMS), etc.

[quote=o0Raul0o]It doesn't matter, they just make new accounts. They're from Meso selling sites, all I can advise is to not buy from the FZG$item$Boss$$ stores in every server. I really don't know why Nexon isn't just closing those stores, it's so obvious lol[/quote]

if they close the stores, the botters wont buy shops which = less money for nexon

[quote=AntiSenpai]Report then, record them, submit evidence via email/live chat.

Botter is banned, another replaces it but for the time being you'll have enough time to level and get out.[/quote]

A lot of the accounts are meso farmers. Demon slayers, with random letters as names.

@wall ok, thank you budy...

@wall @AntiSenpai Just to make sure, are you two doing it through live chat? I've been doing it through only moderator contact. If your success was with chat, I'll do that instead.

@lolmiggy: Recently it's been working, a few people have gotten others banned by recording them macro and what not.

[quote=AntiSenpai]Report then, record them, submit evidence via email/live chat.

Botter is banned[/quote]

Does that even work? I video recorded and submitted the YouTube link with additional details through the moderator contact forum and nothing has happened to anyone I reported. They don't care.

Report then, record them, submit evidence via email/live chat.
