BOTTERS -- I don't have a question, I have a concern

kittyd · **Joined:** Feb 2007 **Posts:** 6

To my understanding a BOT is a third party program that plays your character for you. The BOT character steals someone's kill and gets the glory. This is CHEATING! Yet, if you kill this BOT you get marked as a murderer. I think this is wrong!

I thought that Silkroad was a family game!!! To me this is teaching our young players to cheat! The BOT gets away with stealing your kill and if you kill him for it you are the one that gets punished (i.e. lose ex points and whatever the BOT steals).

So this is sending a message to our young players that it's OK to cheat and steal and no one will punish you for it. Is this what we as adults want to promote on a family game?

I think the programmers should put a patch in the let's you kill Botters and you get a reward (ex points/ gold, etc.) for getting rid of a cheater. There has to be a way the program can identify a Botter and mark them.

If this were done, I think there would be a LOT LESS BOTTERS/CHEATERS!

kitty those sentiments have been expressed by many. However this is a fansite, not an official one. http://www.silkroadonline.net is the official site.

if someone is using a BOT ,, the game recognize him as a real preson playing the game ,, so if you kill him you will get punished ,,

If the Game can recognize those BOTs Charactres he wont be running infront of you ,, cause his\her acc will be blocked (20 years or something -as i heard-)

Yea... If there were a patch to identify botters, then there would be no botters.
There will always be bots. The problem will never go away. The most that JM could do is slow the bots down.

Let me add happy faces to change the mood of the post

Despite the large amount of posts about bots i've read, i haven't seen one like this... i mean "family concern" oriented.

The problem is that, for the game, they are as valid players as you and any of us, so there's no way they could reward you.

I've been KS'd ten times more from actual players than I have been by bots. Tough fact but its true. I see bots come towards me, then I start attacking and they stop dead and turn around.

If they could make something that can identify bots, then all our problem were resolved PERIOD.
