Botting and In-game spam

After watching a couple of game clips I'm thinking the in game spam can't get as bad as diablo2 because the text won't cover the entire screen, it just scrolls on a patch off to the side.

I hope any spammers are dealt with swiftly.

I played the beta for Dragon Nest and there were Gold Sellers with spambots set up on DAY ONE of the BETA.

I couldn't tell what was more sad, that that was actually going on, or that the admins didn't do anything about it.

My god this thread is like cancer!

Seriously, why the hell do some of the posters here not research/think beforehand about the very question he/she is asking?

Everything is server side, no auction house, no gold(so no gold farmers) and everything is using items for barter; items that aren't that easy or quick to come by.
Which obviously leads to no possible auto-botting, since it will require real human players.

Just pointing out the obvious, I have no idea why people were thinking this is a genetic open world MMORPG or something :/

Fully agree if this is the case than only what botter will be able to do is grind for items and than sell them for money like in D2, but I hope this game will hold against stupid botters who ruins all mmo games.

@Arciks: :O :P
...anyway yeah let's hope for the best :)



offtopic: I finally got into the beta!

Bot item buy website spam

Perhaps a chat filter of specific known websites (And variations) that will cross reference with your text in-between hitting enter and it showing in chat. Disconnecting you from the server and flagging your account.

Example:
Disconect if:
www.buystuff.com
www.b u y s t u f f . com
www[dot] buy stuff [dot] com

Etc

What about map hacks

That's an unlikely scenario. And if it does become a problem a good solution might be an encrypted data stream from server to client to server (Or however it works) for map generation. I'm not sure but i think map hacks work with injection and hooking /shrug.

leveling / Farming bot's

Most of that anti hack software is more then useless. Easy to bypass and change core files. (Game guard etc)

Best would be a custom monitoring system of mouse input during combat or something. Automated inputs are pretty easy to detect. That is until bot's become more "life like".
