Runes of Magic US / AU

I will add a bit to this. I have said in another post that the GM's need to have more of a presence in Tergothen Bay. I myself haven't seen any botters there, but what I have seen is players using speed hacks and the Romeo hack to fly everywhere faster than anyone can run. Shoot I would even let a GM use my account to watch these palyers do this if it would get rid of them. I ahve attempted to get over 3k in points in TB but always fail. Now I was not trying to get these points at peak hours but at times when very few players were online. I went so far as to mark every high reward public quest and still the highest I could ever get was just under 2500 points and that was turning in EVERY quest that I saved just for one try. Common GM's get your butts into TB during peak hours and catch the cheaters so us that don't cheat can ahve a chance.

Everyone you suspect of botting, cheating, hacking, you need to report to our support. They have the necessary tools and will investigate every incoming report.

Now please do not get me wrong, but the video you linked, looks pretty much just like how I look after some hours of farming You get used to the mob spawns, your eyes are starting to blur, your hand-mouse coordination starts to become abrupt and I even occasionally run into a fence and totally fail to realize it until a couple seconds. Meanwhile - since farming tends to be a boring grind - I listen to music or watch a video or chat with family and so I am mildly distracted. I get up for a few minutes whenever I feel like it, to go for a smoke, to stretch, do check on laundry or start cooking dinner.

Granted, someone following me around like you did there would most likely get me to ask if I can help my follower in any way, but sometimes I am not even social enough for that. Sometimes I wait until the other player says something and simply ignore them.

Now I can not see from the video if you tried to chat with him or not.

But just from that video, all I see is a farming player, there is not enough proof for a botter. So further research of said player is necessary, some monitoring over random periods of time. Only our support can do that.

Just by that video I would not ban the player, but I am not a supporter.

So my guess is there is still some research going on or no proof of botting to be found.

Right now here on forums this video together with the post is naming and shaming, thus I will remove it. It CAN be a botter but it is hard to say just judging by that video. Please leave the investigation and final decision to support. If they decide to not ban, there was no proof for botting that would "hold up in court" as a figure of speech.

Which should not stop you from reporting any suspicious activities.

If you watch the whole vedio I did try in it and talked to his guildies they said he was at the hospital at the time...lol.

Pity that the video link was removed. Can you shoot me a PM and give me the name of the player? We've had at least one guildie in the hospital recently for some very serious reasons.

Did ever occur to you that there is now WiFi in most of hospitals, with free guest access??

We used to have guildy who was playing from hospital.

Also being in hospital can explain couple of things from video as well... (nurse interruptions, being bored and not looking where you going etc.)

I wonder why all of sudden many of users argue about booters getting their 'loot'?!

I can recognize someone who is inattentive (one of my guildies has sleep apnea and will fall asleep at any moment), But what I see in TB at times is just pure hacking and botting. Like I said above i would love to see a GM stick his/her ehad into TB just for a looksie on occasion.

I've spent some time in tergothen, and actually know the people who consistently place. For the most part they're there for hours, but still talking in vent/guild chat. Im even whispering the ones out of guild and they still manage to get first. When I see them run by, they stop and give me a wave.

These are the same people I see in some being complained about, how its not fair they always win, and are accused of hacking, when in fact, they're not. What I DO see is frustrated people resorting to insulting those placing because they're unable to do the same. Of course, it is then brought here to the forums, where the QQing continues.

I know some of the ones who place highest also. ANd to tell the truth I am not talking about the octopus or his friends. There are others that show up during siege though that ruin it for those of us attempting to get some points while the normal players are in Siege (recently though since teh boycot of siege they ahve not beena round). Most times when the cheaters come out is after the regulars have logged off for the night. Only time I get first place is during the real early mornings when everyone else is asleep (beign a night owl ahs its perks).
I could anme names for those that are quite obviously cheating but having sent in several videos already to support and not wanting to get in trouble, I will not. Although 3 that I ahve turned in have not been seen for at least the last week or so. Recently though it has become even ahrder to place not due to teh cheaters but to teh numbers of players that now do the public event quests.
Gonna let everyone have a laugh here for all the QQing going on, I placed the other day in third with ONLY 16 points, it was during siege and I wasn't even attempting to do any of the public quests, I was hunting cavies and collecting the suspect provisions for later use. I think teh whole zone was laughing at that one.
