People already back to botting in Chronos

General Discussion Started Last reply 34 posts
And really, after 3 day ban, they laughing in your face NcSoft... And tbh, your proven track record is to do 1 or 2 big ban waves a year - thats it. So now i bring to you the voice of reason, what are you going to do now that even after they get there slap on the wrist, they are back to botting. Lots of the same people who go on the 3-day vacation are back to botting. Are you going to react and make another ban wave? PermaBan? Or just nothing or was this a typical once a year scheduled ban wave and nothing more...? #TheyAlreadyBackToBotting - Anyone else in Chronos see the top players back to botting?

They are, but carefully,

1st they tested to see if everything still worked.

Than in the Wee hours of the night they Ran their Cheats for a few minutes
(Hearts Pounding, and Knees trembling),
They Giggled like a Lil' 4 year old Girl, playing with a cute Lil' Puppy.
A sweet little tear Swelled up in their eyes.
They than Hugged themselves, sweetly and gently turned off their 3rd Party Cheating program.
and Blew kisses at the monitor

G'Night My Precious, I will see you Tomorrow
"I Will never Let those Bad,Bad, People hurt you"

Right now the Cheaters Are Trying to figure out how much they can get away with.

And NcSoft is Just shaking their Heads, and thinking to themselves
"We are going to have make Examples out of a few of you"

We will see how long it takes b4 it is a 24/7 Practice again

Pretty funny... but we all know that this is NCwest's semi-annual pre-expansion bot banning fest to impress those that are still gullible enough to believe that they're gonna "really" take care of the problem.

Honestly, all jokes aside NcSoft. I have in the past played on private server which are typically run in the basement of an abandoned house by 1 or MAYBE 2 people. And if they can implement software sophisticated enough to completely nullify botters at the freaking login screen then why cant you (or is the question "why wont you")? I really hope your not worried about "the big donators" being banned and then this game going under...............lol? On those servers that i used to play on people STILL donated (i.e. play your L2 pay-to-win games) and still logged in, everyday.... I mean honestly, once a top player has "BOTTED" his way to the top, you realize hes done spending money right? Hes just simply going to continue botting to sustain his 1 update to his gear you come out with from time to time by botting(which according to FACT, when someone is botting on your server they are actually stealing right out of your own pocket). Where as people who are still using +6 r95 gear at level 100 Diligently spend 20-50$ per week literally sweating trying to upgrade there gear and then spending there 10$ they had for the week just for a final crack at your event for the Slight chance that they "MIGHT" upgrade 1 (ONE) piece of there gear.... And guess what, when the fail to upgrade, they not going to BOT to try again for FREE, they are going to go to sleep at night and wake up at the butt crack of dawn the next morning to go to "WORK" (you know like a real job? like a 7am-6pm job? Not sitting in front of 3 computers running 2 or more parties per computer to STEAL your adena/items that you created here in this game) and go to there job, and do it for 6 days a week and are going to Continue spending that money until 2 things happen: 1) They have had enough of not winning shiit and are going to quit -OR-
2) They will slowly win and keep "PAYING" you for chances to win items. (key word in this sentence is "PAYING", you know with "Real" money. NOT stolen adena from your very own game). So honestly man, if some punk kid can sit in his moms basement or an abandoned building and run a back woods private server and implement a god **** firewall/software to stop people from logging into his server dead in there tracks at the login screen then why are you guys not doing the same? Do you not care if people Steal your stuff? Do you realize the ripple effect that happens when 1 person gets away with botting? Then his friend does it, then 2 of that persons friends are doing it and then just like a virus 60% of the server is doing it, if not more... All because your Allowing them to do it on a daily basis. If those private servers are still generating money, with there bot free server then surely you have to have some sorta reasoning as to why your allowing it to still continue to happen.... Its working for them, they are still making money, there servers are still up.... Wtf man. People want to play your game. Were here for a reason, atleast if the characters in game are going to be unbalanced with skill damage please dont allow those idiots to continue botting...... Please.

If you would have started this with "To Make a Long Story Short"
it woulda been funnier,

The L2 Conspiracy Theories ?
1.The RMT's have a contract w/Ncsoft
2.NcSoft Secretly pay the top PvP'ers in order to sell Ncoin
3.The RMT's are in fact NcSoft

There's more but they get really silly.

Private servers don't see as many,or any bots because it does'nt make sense to invest a multi million $ operation into Robbing 2 people in a basement
somewhere.

And i don't think you could pay me enough money to act like the top PvP'ers i've seen.

The RMT'ers have video's all over youtube boasting about there Business
Non of the people in the vids are wearing A NcSoft T-Shirt.

Prove me Wrong, But im pretty Sure you cannot get Banned for not buying NcCoin
Or is this The Beginning of Why did you Ban
So and So and Not What's his Name

Here it comes the Great Tattle Tale Wars of 2016
You guys just don't get it, your 20-50 dollars a week is nothing, some of the top end players spend that a day! If you ban 20 of those guys, the 200 of you small spenders aren't making up for that!! It's simple, if 50% of clients go away, the game shuts down. No one is making you fight top end players, you can enjoy the game as is.

nope, top end players get their adena from their bots, they don't spend that much. players aspiring to be top end do, as they have to catch up with gear and levels.
game will not die when 'top end scripters get banned', it will come back to life.

I do enjoy my game, but it's annoying when magical person is doing impossible in oly, can't do many rb's neither, getting auto massacred when having clan wars is nothing nice either, and don't get me started about auto sieges..

only 'fun' part about auto players is when they bug out and try to attack you in town or through wall in the castle or at oly.
cancelled bless the body on one of those people, and he spent 20 seconds trying to get it back while I could pretty much freely attack him. :D

Sure ncsoft should let this 1% do what they want right? That's what I'm hearing from you.
You can't possible believe it's 1%, I've been in small clans, I've been in top clans, it's a fact the majority of people are running software. Ya know how many times I've heard, "I'm legit, I just use it for the radar." That's not legit!

Sure I heard that 8-9 years ago too. But what's left in the game are over clans and a few pvp clans. The big move clans have a big time legit policy
it's a fact the majority of people are running software.

NO! It's not a fact! It's your opinion and bot propaganda

The only fact is Perma Ban got 77% of votes on the "ban survey"
So can estimate 1/4 of people use software.
(i believe some of votes on not perma ban were done by same people with alt accounts, but that is an opinion)

You are a Tricky one,

Have you ever heard a "you say Top i say Rear end Player" Shout WTB Ncoin in-game chat?
And i think you are fully aware they use their cheat programs in 3 major ways
1. PvP
2. Xp
3. Farm places like gainak and high Adena dropzones. (a big source of Adena also comes from in-town Shops Buying Low/Sell High)

One of the Ugliest things these "REAR"-End people do (and they are Adults) is look for Naive Children who wanna "fit-in" and try to Mentor them. for a small fee of coarse.
"Where does your Mom Keep her Purse?"

You are not going to listen to reason, because it is your goal to try to get as many people to cheat as you can.

If there was a Server just for people to Cheat,
it would'nt even be as Popular or as Entertaining as your GrandPa's bathroom/wash Closet/Toilet
At least GrandPa's Fury Seat Covered Toilet has 1 person using it from time to time.
And Watching GrandPa's Turrd go around and round in a circle is about the same as watching a server full of bots.
Don't forget to use the Lysol Spray before you flush.
GrandPa Hates that.
Not sure what server/clan you guys play on, or are you still low enough level where you see your xp bar move daily? I ran through chronos the other night an not 1 person was outside town in a high level area, thats not good.

#1 private servers do see bots (stupidest thing youv said so far)
#1 private servers do see bots (stupidest thing youv said so far)

i did'nt say they Don't see bots ,
but you did make me take a double look at my post:)

You can say ... "Made ya Look!" and call me a Name lol ...If it would make you Happy. :)

And this guy.... Read what the other guy posted yesterday "The top players bot (steal created L2 items)" and have no reason to spend any money on this game what so ever. Hence - why they bot in the 1st place. So they can get around not having a job, not investing real life money into this game so they bot and buy the items NcSoft created with there own money, lol? And when they shout to buy NCoins? Why are they shouting to buy NCoins if they spend 200$ a day? lol, what are they spending 200$ a day on that they still need to shout to buy More NCoins? Its simple - they are not spending 200$ a day, they are spending No money a day at all, they are stealing it from NcSoft and using it to boost there own characters. And probably at this point they are begining to boost another secreat character in the case that there main is banned for good. Really NcSoft need to do ip bans. I mean really, if someone stole from me once and got away with it shame on that person, but do it twice and get away with it? Then shame on me for letting it happen twice. Shame on you NcSoft for allowing this to happen and go down on your servers on a daily basis.

People who dont bot but use ranger simply for radar? Ya those are the guys spending hard earned money from working 40-60hrs a week. They use radar to get away from those 20,000$ characters running around as quickly as possible and keep spending 20-50 per week (@said 50$ per week x4 = 200$ a month, which is enough to sustain several accounts for the old 15$ monthly fee) so they can have a slight chance at improving there characters abilities. Fact of the matter is, people are already back to botting, simply as that, im seeing it all over zaken server already also so. Im wondering if NcSoft has a spine or doesnt have a spine.... Are you going to do something about it and continue to do something about it or just the 3 day ban was a charade ?
The Cheaters have lost all of the Legit players TRUST
The Cheaters have tried to Fool everyone into believing that Everyone Cheats
The Cheaters have tried to Fool everyone into Believing the game will Die
w/o Cheaters
The Cheaters have tried to Fool everyone into believing its the Adena Spammers and not The Scripters that are the problem
The Cheaters have tried to Fool everyone into believing they are Legit
rather it was their Keyboard, Mouse, Ghost, Alien, GrandMother, and
Samual L.Jackson that mistakenly used a 3rd party program and got the Perma Ban.
The Cheaters have used every Static IP situation imaginable to try to get out of Banishment
The Cheaters have Blamed NcSoft For letting them Cheat (some truth to that)
No body could have predicted How much desire some people have for Complete Dominance.
EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO LIE,CHEAT,STEAL or DESTROY IT ALL


its just to bad the cheaters lie to much.

Maybe we should wait a few weeks into Helios?
This time..more than last time.. and allot more than all the other times.
We as a community have a decision to make.

We are at a Cross Roads Ladies and Gentlemen.
If they don't get a Handle on the Cheating this time.
Than i personally will Hang it up, im not asking to Ban instantly and forever
Just please get it under control.

Focus your Aim on the Cheaters Sharlanna,
Otherwise you're just helping the Cheaters with their "See? ..NcSoft Lets us Cheat"
There will a HUGE BACKLASH if This time things don't get better.

You Don't Bash your Pilots Head During the Flight.

This is really where most of us are at.... And were literally simply Begging you NcSoft to do something and you wont lol. The real insanity is this game and thinking its owners here in the usa WANT Fair game play. Prove us wrong if you think you can, but i know you wont. 4 weeks into helios if theres not 1 perma ban then ill just find a new game to get addicted to, and with so many promising games now a days, im sure ill find 1 that i like the same as or more then L2.... Please just fix the freaking problem NcSoft. Please.... Your player base, supporters and diligent players are begging you to clean up your servers. Will you do it?
Ban the cheaters - restore the game.
They are the minority, not the majority.
I don't think I am interested in continuing to log on until this happens.

First of all this is my last post in here. It's summer time and I have real things to do. Anyway when the next manteinance ends try to look at the 4 server stats as it was a joke. 100 connected in the first 5 minutes then the numbers raise to 2k in the first 3 hours. 100 it's just the number of real ppl, and their 2 alts, connected. Who are the other 2k?
You assume that L2's prob it's depending on who use z r a n g e r or the like right? Wrong.
First I will give a kick in the a s s to those 2k bots x server
Only then i will perma ban those 50 real ppl that cheats daily.
An ip ban it's a joke when all euro isps have dinamic ips.
The last consideration.
Who gains more benefits from those 2k bots x server?
A real player who can't handle 2k accounts or who sells passes for closed areas to kill everyday the same bosses while the rest of L2 world can't be used just due to those bots?
if theres not 1 perma ban then ill just find a new game to get addicted to, and with so many promising games now a days, im sure ill find 1 that i like the same as or more then L2....

Lol I keep telling myself that, but every year I get the itch and find myself back here, despite the botting situation.
This topic started out saying a 3 day ban was not adequate as the banned people are back. It seems fair to have a 3 day bay to basically send the message that NC soft sees you and knows what your are doing. I think most of those people that got a 3 day ban just played on an alt toon and did not feel much pain.

As for subsequent bans, I can see why NC soft would not want to permanently ban toons and reduce possible source of income (I say possible as I am not convinced that many botters buy any NC coin). However, it seems there should be more of a penalty to add some pain and prevention.

For instance, a second ban for PVP scripting could be a 3 day ban and loss of 1 level and all associated skills. This would add a real penalty (and might be good for NC soft as people might buy xp pots to regain there skill level). A more serious penalty could also be loss of their weapon or warehouse inventory.

Toons below 85 found botting could get permeant ban 1st time. If they can track where the money bots collected it should be confiscated with additional penalty.

Anyway, I applaud NC Soft for the recent actions to fight the scripters and bots. I will admit I have seen similar actions related to major updates in the past. I only hope that they will continue with the effort to eliminate cheaters after Hellios has been in place for a while.
They are, but carefully,

1st they tested to see if everything still worked.

Than in the Wee hours of the night they Ran their Cheats for a few minutes
(Hearts Pounding, and Knees trembling),
They Giggled like a Lil' 4 year old Girl, playing with a cute Lil' Puppy.
A sweet little tear Swelled up in their eyes.
They than Hugged themselves, sweetly and gently turned off their 3rd Party Cheating program.
and Blew kisses at the monitor

G'Night My Precious, I will see you Tomorrow
"I Will never Let those Bad,Bad, People hurt you"

Right now the Cheaters Are Trying to figure out how much they can get away with.

And NcSoft is Just shaking their Heads, and thinking to themselves
"We are going to have make Examples out of a few of you"

We will see how long it takes b4 it is a 24/7 Practice again
