Sylph Atoll - Welcome to botter heaven.

[anichaos]

There's a "diminishing return" on selling Essences? (never sold one yet, cause getting a blue sylph is more important)

[IggyBousse]

This is a problem with EVERY game that forces you to grind like this. People will find a way to bot so they can abuse it.
It's one of the main reason newer games focus on NOT making their game a grindfest. It's a typical action-reaction event.

I'm completely against the way how they force you to grind mindlessly for sylphs. If the drop rate and reward was better, this wouldn't be a problem.
Now you grind for hours for a few white sylph, if your lucky a green, if you're really lucky a blue. 99 percent chance its white, 1 percent green, 0.00000001 blue is my guess lol.
It's too much grind. I gave up on it a few days ago after grinding hour after hour and ending up with a few white sylph.

I stopped going to atoll. It was driving me crazy.

If you see people you feel are using bots, I strongly suggest you record their actions as well as attempted communication with them, and then file a ticket with R2.

Bots are expressly illegal within the ToS.

There's a post on the Kongregate boards saying that they're looking into it but not come to any decisions about it. TBH I don't really see the point of botting, there's already a cap on how many sylphs you can sacrifice deminishing returns pretty much caps the gold spent from selling the essences.

Was reading some threads on another website and here is what someone named Marcks Thomas was saying:

A team of developers can probably stop a determined cheater from using bots, but it has little to do with intellectual know-how; it mostly relies on the developers making a game good enough that players won't feel the need to automate the tedious task of playing it.

Has anyone ever considered that it is only just now that we see bots really being developed for Wartune and it because they have added an activitity that is so mind-numbing that any sane person would flee from?

Stated in another thread
Click on a Sylph, let it auto attack, switch to do something else, come back after Sylph is dead, click on another Sylph, repeat.
What this means is.... I do not responds to anyone, because technically, I am "AFK"

This is also what i do.
When im done with everything (like mp, tok etc) I usually move myself to sylph atoll and just move between my tabs.
Tumblr, fb, maybe an anime on a site and check WT now and then
I dont have the patience to keep my eyes set on WT when I farm sylphs. So better do other stuff, while farming
So you have botters and afkers :P
Butya botting is never good! Just consider there are 2 different things.

I would encourage R2 to drop the essence selling price down to 1 gold instead of 1000 gold per essence.

8 hours of sleep, 8 hours at work, lets say 100 essences an hour. so 800 in 8 hours. then they make what... around 1,600,000 gold for running a bot program..

1.6m gold isn't that much really. People would rather do WB than exploit the atoll for that little amount of gold. Also since there no player to player trade system it can't really be game breaking. 1.6m gold is like 2k astrals points. Not a whole lot. Not condoning botting. I think botters should be banned for sure. Its just it's not a big enough deal to break the game in my opinion. Seems too much hard work for such little return.

It is but look at all the people that account share which is against ToS also. it's giving out login info. it's in the 'password' section of ToS but R2 doesnt do anything about that so they wont do anything about bot programs/scripts being used.
That's just R2 for you tho, they dont enforce they're own policy. They would lose way to many massive cashiers so they'll never do anything about. This is why no one reports alot of things. I could careless about the bots. My server is to dead to worry about it. lol (merge needed badly)

The scripts take about 20 minutes to write using the old AC Tool (which cracked on torrent sites). Why pay someone for it

[Draggyy]

you do that, I'll blackmail them for the scripts
