essentially, after platyna said:
Platyna wrote:I am also dissapointed that some people tries to interfere with the rules I set, behind my back (I have found a topic when someone was already prepared to announce that no devs rule no longer apply). As well as changing the bot rule interpretation. It is my first and final warning - any hand raised behind my back, on the rules I set, will be cut off.

Regards.
we need an interpretation from her. Granted we were only applying what she said here:
Platyna wrote:There is no rule forbidding following other players. There is a rule preventing to annoy players and to use automation to gain advantage over other players which is unfair. If a GM suspects botting, s/he is supposed to execute a standard botcheck on each char.

Also it is not forbidden to attack the same mob as another char, it is even encouraged to play in teams (of living people), this question is completely pointless as there are and there were no rule forbidding it. Common sense is a rule of all rules, appliance of the rules could be some way automated I would get rid of GMs and introduce rules-enforcing bots.


Regards.
We merely clarified the botting rule, which was, up to that point, allowing stacks of characters to autofollow one lead character and all attack the same monster, to disallow the autofollowing of another character through the use of client exploits. The method of botchecking these 'stacks' is laid out in this post: http://forums.themanaworld.org/mcp.php? ... 2&p=126299 .

If we have been doing incorrectly, we need to know.

FYI, this was all laid and stickied in a public post here > http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopi ... 12&t=16077

After a certain time, lack of answer is an answer itself.
(I don't know to say that in Latin.)

Anyway, it's a beautiful day outside. Enjoy it!

When a player brings multiple alts onto a single map, all the alts stack and fight as one.
It was already discussed - it is cheatig if you can prove this is automated. Problem is that multiaccount is hard to track (eg. how do we know if those are not different people in one LAN?)

This thread has been made public as it played a part in why I, as GM, wanted to move away from Platyna. I think the other GMs would agree that this topic was a 'last straw' kind of thing as well.
