Just die. Yeah, it's that simple. After a coordinated effort to mass report a real bot we finally got him to go "perma" purple. Turns out, he's only purple for as long as he is alive, as the out of party debuff had already kicked in and they werent clanned with eachother, his healer was refusing to heal or buff him (and therefore wouldnt flag), so we killed him. Down he went... and much to our surprise as soon as he died he turns white again. Instantly white. As in, his bot could instantly res him and not flag on itself and so there we are, a group of people who can no longer report him ie make him flag and had to resort to the tried and true method of penalizing ourselves by wasting karma on a bot train. Thanks for nothing nc.
Sure, if you bring more people to come along and report him he will flag purple again and again, but eventually you run out of people to report and kill him and either have to take matters into your own hands or let him go on his happy little way. What kind of brain dead ****** came up with this system? Easy to abuse on untagged buffers or spotter characters and does absolutely nothing to a real bot.
....or report the entire bot train, so they're all purple. If they learn to auto-kill each other it could be quite a sight to see them all in-fighting.

I wonder who will be last man standing :rolleyes: :D

I know you don't actually play the game mr. 4k poster but you can no longer report the entire train. You are given 6 "reports" per day which can only be given out every 30 minutes, 1 per person.

What's your beef with my post count and my desire to not play as much?
I know fine well that you can't report an entire train, but there's nothing stopping you from bringing a few friends and reporting the whole train... just hope that ..
a) the train isn't tagged
or
b) you and your friends aren't in the same clan/IP.
My post was in humour, mcbuff and smittie obviously tagged on, but you seem to have some problem with me and my post count. I'll pm you when I care.
Flagging purple is only one stage of being reported. I believe there's others which haven't been disclosed officially.
I know of, so far, chat bans and inability to join parties.
Would be interesting to see what would happen to a bot which has been reported 10+ times.... maybe skill or magical silence? Maybe unable to use shots, or be healed.. I'm sure there's more down the line which will inevitably mean bots will be permanently dead on the floor.
Don't get your entire party to flag the same guy (even though it's impossible if you're in the same clan) but to flag as many of the toons between you as possible. If everyone did this then hopefully each one will receive a punishment and will eventually mean it'd be impossible for them to level/grind.
