Havent tried this at all because I wanted to wait and see what you all think but would the Drunkard Bot V1.0 here: *Removed link to prevent people from using program* be a bannable offense? Im curious because it does say bot in it and want all of your input before i go and do anything stupid

EDIT: I removed the link so no one gets tempted

I certainly wouldn't take the risk myself.

Vilaptca · Dec 09, 2007, 06:27 PM // 18:27

I would think they would ban for something like that.

Squishy ftw · Dec 09, 2007, 06:30 PM // 18:30

I wouldn't come anywhere near it.

shrouded^god · Dec 09, 2007, 06:34 PM // 18:34

Its a bot...so Im guessing it would trigger 'bot behavior' which would get you banned...

IMO...dont touch it with a 10ft pole

If Arenanet wants you to click inventory spots 250 times each in intravals of 1-3 minutes for a title while standing somewhere, then you better not take any risks by upsetting them.

Does double click approximately once a minute count as "bot behavior"?

If so, pray tell, how can one advance drunkard title without wasting time.

Drunkard title is a title that can *only* be obtained with "bot behavior".

I would be more concerned with loosing your account to bot software supplier.

It's common sense. Why would anyone release such soft ... out of goodness of their heart? On the other hand, people who go for drunkyard title as are pretty much guaranteed to be filthy rich, so their accounts are sweet target for breaking into... Think. there is much bigger change of logging once day and find your ass to be zeroed than having it banned, and neither is actually good or worth it to have easier time on stupid title.

And yet another means to cheapen a title - gotta love it

Xue Fang · Dec 09, 2007, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Yea, chances are it's logged, and even if it is legit, it's bannable.

Just use a mouse macro, gg/

Learn to play with your inventory open and get a little timer program going on that makes a sound when you should hit the next bottle.

onerabbit · Dec 09, 2007, 06:55 PM // 18:55

i dont think it will be, all it does is double click booze every 1 min or when ever you choose.

i doubt you get banned for that...

gone · Dec 09, 2007, 06:55 PM // 18:55

that 'bot' is perfect keylogger size.

indeed. aren't there programmable mice out in the market somewhere?

The terms and conditions state "no third party programs". This is a bot. A bot is a third party program. The function of the bot is irrelevant. If AreaNet find you using this, they could ban you.

MercenaryKnight · Dec 09, 2007, 07:27 PM // 19:27

There are plenty of softwares out there that make your own macros. I don't see how a.net could detect it, unless you had it go all night long nonstop.

It's nearly impossible because all it would show is you double clicking the alcohols every minute/ 3 minutes. In my opinion, getting banned for this would be a slap in the face.

Drunkard title should be like sweet tooth. Double click 1000 times and bam theres your title. Not double click x times wait 3 minutes, double click again every minute etc.

Technically then according to eula we can get banned for making our mouse double click for us? "third party programs" would include mouse software that changes the way we play our game.

Arkantos · Dec 09, 2007, 07:29 PM // 19:29

All 3rd party programs/bots are illegal, and this is a bot. It's most likely bannable, but the chances of ANet finding out you're using this bot aren't that great.

It's impossible to cheapen a title whose only requirements are to spend a lot of money and then spend hours upon hours double clicking once a minute. It's an AI behavior, I can see why they'd want an AI to perform it. Surely it's no one's idea of fun?

Now all that said, I'm sure this piece of software is not allowed under the EULA.

zerulus · Dec 09, 2007, 07:33 PM // 19:33

You could probably get away with it. I don't think anet actually has a method for determining bots, they just select a random group ban them all and assume the bots won't appeal the action.
