Curse

I was recently in a couple of RA matches and I noticed that there are a number of players and bot guilds that are sending drones into RA in order to earn Balthazar faction to trade for Zaishen Keys.

These players are usually non-secondary characters using generic templates such as charge warriors. The players bot and follow other members in RA in hopes that through luck they will find a strong 3 man party in order to earn Balthazar faction with zero player work. All the player has to do is either use a macro or come back and use the accumulated faction to purchase and hoard Zkeys.

Out of respect for the other guilds I will not post any tags of guilds that have been doing these sorts of things. However, many RA'ers know that there is one blatantly obvious bot guild around that is currently doing this.

This should be looked into and stopped immediately.

the funniest is the warrior with plague touch and heal signet.... that just runs up and uses that....

I don't see why you are not posting the tag due to respect. I wouldn't respect the bot guild(s). I know atleast 2 of the tags that are all bots. However since you aren't posting them I won't either.

On that note. I agree it shouldn't be that hard to catch them. Everytime I see them I report for botting. It is incredibly easy to kill one thus making the kill count map uber easy. On top of that puts the other team a man down.

So far I have seen a Cruel Spear para bot. A Glad's Def war. A riptose war with charge. A Charge war with plague touch.

However as far as I have seen they all have a res sig. So as far as I am concerned they are better then all those people who don't bring one. You know crappy signet sins that still get used even though they have been nerfed into junk. Spike dervs that are like half as affective since pious nerf. All those people who talk trash and end up going LEEEEEEEROYYYY and then just screaming res all match. I don't waste a res on that type of person save it for someone with a brain.

I always forget to report them for botting. I have never seen one with charge though, they all use Glads Defense, and most have a secondary, usually N or Mo.

You guys should post the tag for the guild.

You know what's really funny? Those that don't bring a rez sig, but, scream REZ ME REZ ME REZ ME after they die. lol I find that hilariously funny.

Because tags arent unique. Two or more guilds may have the same tag.

Posting a bot guild tag would hurt the regular innocent guild that happens to have the same tag by mere coincidence.
So that is bad.

Please dont post tags.

right..... they run in and use heal sig at max health..... why doesn't those noob just bring frenzy too

Numa Pompilius · Mar 12, 2008, 03:46 PM // 15:46

So post the guild name, not the tag then.

I still think balthazar points shouldn't be awarded in RA. Nothing but abuse come from it.

Magikarp · Mar 12, 2008, 03:53 PM // 15:53

im only going to post the guild name if the op or mods say its cool... its really obvious if you play RA though..

Ryu_ookami · Mar 12, 2008, 04:01 PM // 16:01

I'm not trying to derail the thread or anything but that link asking people to report gold sellers is it not kind of pointless as most of the advertsing is done with a account using a trial key so it ends with in a certain time anyway ?

or am I totally missing the point ?

and a mending wammo with no cancel to frenzy is better?

Terra Xin · Mar 12, 2008, 04:10 PM // 16:10

Can we come to a consensus that it's the VVAR guild?

Unless you know what the tag stands for...

stretchs · Mar 12, 2008, 04:19 PM // 16:19

What sucks is, that these type of bots are the reasons other games have gone to these overlord like programs that are all intrusive.

ShadowsRequiem · Mar 12, 2008, 04:22 PM // 16:22

I say we run more bots to stop the other bots. Then they'll try to make more bots to stop our bots! but guess what! We'll make more bots!

Oh I'm so confused! *head explodes*

That's really sad. Everyone know's the best and most brainless skillbar to use is touch rangers! But yea, I've seen this before, but IMO a bot would be better in zaishen elite, unless the 1k faction cap applies there also.

but imo, if the 3 people aren't dumb and know how to read the chatbox, they should know to use the function /report. Sadly enough, there are times when you encounter players who don't know how to type /report. It makes me feel like i'm talking with caveman in RA sometimes
