Bots on all Asia shards

Please crack down on bots.

There are bots at Despise PS area on all Asia shards.
As far as I know, it's been months.
The Bot name's A.McQueen (maybe) in Sakura, Santa in Ymato, P-P-A-P in Mizuho, and more.
It usually does PS Champion everyday, from about  1:00 pm -11:00 am GMT. (10:00 am  to 8:00 pm JST)

Below is a video of another player.

Also, in Mizuho, there is a bot at unbound energy vortex location on Shame Level4.
It may also be on all Asia shards.

Please Management, if you see this, can you please crack down on bot?

    I assume you are paging on these bots ?

    It's literally so out of control paging is completely useless,   I doubt it's detectable, as i've said.. there are so many people running the "Oh Ryan" client in discord...  UO is probably WAAAAAAAY beyond the point of no return, sad to say.

    literally been this way for years, of course gradually getting worse because nothing is being done to curb or stop it.

      Edit - it's also always been telling that there were so few people calling all the cheating out for at least the last 10 years or so, obviously most of the people who cared about it, quit playing back when Calvin Crowner was the producer of UO.  
    Remove or change casting focus & poison immunity it reduces the need for "Player Skill" it's garbage. rant2 Bring timing back and eliminate chance in pvp!

    Didn't work with Skill Masteries, we just took our chars to other shards to eat Primer and will do the same with Chars that need PSs.  Tamers will just take pets to other shards to eat cheap PSs and then return home.

    "it absolutely did work for primers,
    cost of animal tamng III is a lot more than 100k, which is what it would be if they weren't shard bound

    nobody going to bot to sell shard bound things on a dead shard for 50k each"

    "it would bring pvp not kill it,
    currently PS prices are low, if you shard bound PS, it makes champs worth doing and raiding, currently not worth doing/raiding as cost of PS is so low due to people farming on dead shards,

    and i don't brag anything"

    If you log in to multiple shards and search for legendary taming you would be incorrect (depending on what you consider to be low):

    Napa = none
    Sonoma = 150,000,000 (only one listed)
    Pacific = 17,000,000 (only one listed)
    Origin = none
    Lake Austin = 22,000,000 (only one listed)

    SP had two @ 1,200,000

    Looks like your theory is wrong.  SP is definitely shard bound.

    "okay well they are 2.3 mill on Atlantic,

    they are not that low but will be higher price if shard bound, maybe lower price on dead shards"

    On Atl there are 6 like you say right around 2.3m.

    Cheapest Primer on Animal Taming III on Atl is 88m.  Primers would have to be a lot cheaper on other shards to motivate me to shard hop.

    If it's a paid account, I can guarantee you nothing will be done. They're actioning EJs only.

    You know as a person that will never qualify to get a shard shield, have to admit the  differences in availability and prices of nonshard items in general is really starting to irritate me.  Yes, I know some players do offer to buy things on other shards for me, and I do appreciate that,   But that’s not the issue.  It’s fairness.  Why should some players on one shard be forced to pay 150 million gold for a 120 taming scroll while others on the same shard can simply travel to another shard and buy the same scroll for just 1.2 million.  Why UO thinks this is going to encourage newer players to continue playing is beyond me.  Sorry UO.  Know shard bound is an attempt to resolve this issue, but it is just not enough.

    I can't get PS because of the murderer. If the supply is increased by bots and the price goes down, I rather welcome it... I don't think bound solves everything. Mastery is an outrageous price in some shards, but have no choice but to buy it.

    You are so full of BS.  I took half my Chars to Origin for primers at well over half the cost to Atl and I also visit all shards monthly and find way better deals on PSs than Atl.  Stop telling your lies.

    “what you just said supported my agument that shard bounding scrolls makes them cheaper on dead shards, and a lot more expensive on live shard.

    so i don't know what you mean about lies sorry

    perhaps i didn't express it in that way as i thought it would be apparent"

    Run around destard fel 5 mine bots all day, do vvv, thief bots all day, why cant they make dev bots?
  • Garth_GreyGarth_Grey Posts: 1,459
    I would rather see PS's , SOTs  etc sold in the Ingame store than to know the Devs are aware that bots are farming them and are doing nothing about it.

    but because it bought so many, something kept bugging on the char and the vendor wouldn't sell any more to it, and the owner of the bot had to keep calling a GM to help him...

    and the GM would come and fix the problem lol "

    “The VvV Sigil thief bots are only operating due to 2 already reported bugs:
    1) EJ accounts earn silver points, it’s documented under EJ restrictions that they shouldn’t
    2) all parties in town receive points instead of only the sigil returners alliance, so there’s no self policing

    instead of fixing bugs, broadsword are literally paying GMs to deal with the admin work that the bugs have caused. 

    Just goes to prove how il thought out their policy is of deleting any bug report that mentions the word ‘fel’ 

    also,
    Not a great idea to give people no solution but to download a client to play in fel that allows ANY script to run
    they are going to be paying GMs to deal with more and more bots, bots doing more complicated things.

    solution: for broadsword to fix its own client

    nobody going to play broadsword client in trammel and then switch client when going through moongate to fel and switch back again each time they change facet..

    should be able to use broadsword 2d client on all facets.



    I am interested also in how the meeting went with buffs/debuffs. Maybe Mesanna said okay this thing World of Warcraft does is great we should copy, and paid an artist to make the buffs/debuffs. And maybe the artist wanted to finish early on Friday and knew that the people in QA team never test anything fel related. So the 2 MOST important debuffs (vicious bite and nerve strike) didn’t get done and this slipped right through the QA net. And artist cashed their check.

    Why a QA person can’t step into fel?”

       I wouldn't say Fel is to blame for the third-party client use, people definitely run third-party clients more actively in trammel,  the difference is, when they're in fel and pvping you're directly interacting with them & affected by these 'illegal' programs.

      In Trammel, botting is done too, i would argue it's done far more in trammel (and I know I'm right) just the sheer amount of content in trammel with worth-while rewards is far more abundant, and believe it or not, pvp interruptions to 'bots' can and does severely limit potential profits.  I'm sure many people who bot, particularly the ones who've been botting for a long time, have backup groups of EJ accounts on several low-pop shards, to farm a few select areas/mobs, and if you kill them a few times, they'll disappear for at least a few weeks.


     There's no way any of this is going to get any better without some form of interaction with the people running the game, and well, it doesn't seem like there's an effort put into it, at least not publicly (which maybe for the better?)..... but there's also no acknowledgement of blatant cheating from anyone with the power to do anything about it, So there's that.

    "proof GMs are wasting their time chasing bots that are only there because of bugs.

    New bot started already...


    Dev just have to fix the 2 bugs and no more bots"
