Can scripts be detected ?
I do not know about other Shards, but on the one that I play, throughout the day, at intervals, there is some advertisement to a web site that comes up in General Chat...
While it could certainly be that there actually is a live individual sending out, manually, in general Chat, that particular Web site advertisement, it could also be happening through a script.....
Now, "if" that is happening through a script, then, I wonder. whether a Game Master could be able to detect it, go to the character advertising it, and if it is through a script take whatever actions would be appropriate ?
It happens every day, multiple times, over and over and over.....
Does it also happen on other Shards ?

The only way to stop him (yes we all know who you are talking about) is to boycott his site.
It's not as if a quick search wouldn't give you 3 or 4 others selling the same thing at the same price.
I believe we've seen the newsletter lists of actioned accounts? Those bans for 'soliciting'? My guess is those are him. He just comes back, and in this age of easily available 'proxy' servers, how the heck do you stop him?
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
I have complained for years on him and asked Mesanna for a permit to hunt his tush down even in tram but I have yet to get that shiny bow she has to do so..hehehhe
Cheers MissE

Damn dinosaurs not letting go of their cheating ways and insisting that a leaky client remain active.
External scrips probably can be run on it but can't see why you would want to except to cheat. Remember when CC was written the in thing was to allow external scripts and apps to work with every program. If I remember my time line correctly EC was released about the time they were starting to realize just what a bad idea it was.
Another reason to laugh at PvPers.

Still, the people automating collecting resources, utilizing cheats, etc. These people are all utilizing the classic client. Hell, you can automate quite a bit in the EC, but it's not nearly as bad as being able to run the game for days on end gathering all the resources you could ever need. Hell, you can automate anything in the game with ease via botting. Solution? Ban the classic. Simple enough. That would also free up developer time to work out these same schemes in the EC>
Every modern computer can run the EC. So no worries there.
The CC just runs so much better than the EC with almost no lag people think it's an exploit.
The truth is, you'd load up the EC. Words are cheap.
