Suggestion dealing with hunting bot and spammer bot!

**darksniperx** · 11-05-2010, 11:33 AM

There should be an option when you click on the player than choose under botting section that this player is a hunting bot or spammer bot. If X amount of people choose for example spammer bot, the player will be muted and he would need to contact support to be unmuted (Support has a log of their actions so they can verify). Similarely with hunting bot, the only difference is that his attacks are disabled.
Also have a message displayed to the player that he/she is being disable due the the following reason and ask them to open a ticket!

That way players can eliminate botting by them selves and towns near ah can have a clear chat.

Allso track all of the players that report botting using this method, just incase there are those that use it for wrong purposes. And those that are actively on duty, reward them with something.

This will elimited the botting and the amounts of tickets created regarding this issue. Players and Staff will be happy. A win-win situation!

that would backfire nicely when an entire guild dislikes 1 person and spams the mute and block attack feature...decent concept though

Then when the support team check the activity of the person and find that he has done nothing wrong and the feature was used for personal gain by the guild, then the whole guild gets a warning or a temp ban.

It is hard to have a perfect system that works for everyone at one, but if not one going to do to try new thing, then everyone is going to have spammers near ah and botters near mobs that no one can do anything about.
