Runes of Magic US / AU

Quoted from "zidlef"

Well Gigi, true i couldn't link your flaming posts since they have been removed or green text lol. I respect your opinion, don't get me wrong, it's just that you seem to be constantly mad at the inaction of Gameforge. ThePit admitted not having any documentation on the client to do stuff with it. He is trying, the issue here is just making PAC not usable at being AFK is just a stupid move. Let's punish everyone for the few morons that stands next to the vendor 24/7. They could have just permaban those at fault and be done with it.

Remove DYICE all together as well Gameforge

Gigi sorry if i seemed mad at you ;-(

It's fine, and last time i remember they either removed diyce/add on + macros and about 200 people were mad, i think this was around the implementaion of the mana % and the broken daily spam. In chapter 3 i think? Late chapter 3.

Lets hit this point by point

really now a days making a level 5 guild and a castle is next to nothing. I mean it used to be hard when level 7 was required and the levels took more. Heck with how much diamonds are worth, just sell a few diamonds and bam you are good. Or run your minis every day and you get good mat amounts... really wont take long.

Internet restriction on clients ? LOL I have run 12 accounts on a 1.5 meg DSL connection which is one of the lowest you can get. Heck even Satellite can get higher than 1.5 meg. Since most clients will be just sitting there.. ISP demands are next to nothing.

Computer restriction: I used to be able to run 4 clients on my old laptop (not even a desktop!), it was a 6 year old vostro 1500 laptop... I built a semi decent desktop.. only with a duo core, not i5, the old duo core. It can run 8 clients if you drop the settings on each client. My new rig didn't cost that much... I don't get how people can have such low performance computers. However I see your point here.....


None of these excuse walking away from the computer and wanting to come back with something without working for it...

Which tons of people do on palenque botting mobs for xp/tp and daileis for eoj <.< along with the PAc.

yeah tons of people on every server are botting, I know people bot I think first boss DOD, Kalin shrine, etc also for mems/gold. Then the eoj bots have been seen again on artemis in AKOR.

Jeepers people just play the game legit and you wont get banned.

lvl 5 guild + castle is nothing...heck, i have one on palenque, and for those who know me, they know how poor i am...

@ thread:
PAC at your own risk, don't ban diyce...

So this thread is about new afk rules NOT diyce.
Please stay on topic.

DIYCE discussion has been removed to Discussion: Is the use of DIYCE botting?

Question:

why weapon leveling via white attack while afk is allowed but
"Interaction with mobs through such skills that reflect damage or such that makes it possible for a player to gain XP/TP" is not?

Is it simply because GF wants to force people to buy more daily resets?
To some extent, both weapon skill leveling and tp leveling for skills are somewhat similar, so it cant be argued both should be allowed or both should be not.

And its good it was finally posted, so people are warned and hopefully wont do it.

Finally, you should also add that ban for afk tp farming is irreversible and permanent, no second chances, no warnings, and add that support wont care about your explanations one bit. Also, add if you try to argue your case in polite manner but deemed often by customer support, they will ban your support account as well. Democracy and all...

And I challenge you to delete/remove this post, this is 100% truth how your support operates, so you should not hide it.

It's been posted before over a year ago that it wasn't allowed.

Well it could be posted on forum even 5 years ago, but there is not a single rule forcing you to read forum

As for white attacks vs. killing mobs while afk. First is accessible to any class second at best to WD/X, X/WD and R/M, but face it truly only to R/M, as I can not imagine going 15mins for afk and get banned for that on WD, besides WD hits would be smaller.

Personally I would rather see changing R/M skill and/or automatic logout after some idle time. It would require only to exclude castle zone and houses or changing craft speed.

you CAN NOT afk KILL mobs. afk weapon leveling is done by attacking a mob that does not attack back and does not die, it only helps to level up your weapon skill

you dont get xp/tp from weapon leveling..

also afk weapon leveling doesnt help casters at all so we still get shafted on that one.....

the solution is just simple. put a 5-10mins duration time to enchanted throw. end of story. problem solved. just that some of the devs team r .. retarded? thats the least i could say i guess.

no a 5-10 min timer is not the simplest....

The easiest is ... JUST DONT TRY TO AFK TO KILL. Why is this so hard. Why should they change anything? You aren't allowed to kill mobs afk. If you do, expect to get banned..... No need for changing anything.


Quit trying to think that GF needs to fix peoples want to afk kill.... they said it is bannable, don't do it.


THAT is just simple.

Some people never even try to understand dk

1) do I expect to read forums to make sure I follow all the rules? I played for over two years without looking at forums, I only started some time in August. I know many players don't read/follow forums, in fact majority don't. Just FYI.
2) I understand now that GF considers AFK kill as permanent bannable offense (or support does, idk), disregarding the fact no external means were used. Is it fair? Is punishment in accordance to offense? I am all for banning people who dupe gear or bot farm gold/items to affect the economy. Maybe sometime GF will do bans in accordance to offense.
3) I simply asked why afk killing mobs using skills provided by RW is botting, not trying to change GF position. Before ROM I played single player PC game, elders scrolls (not MMO so hope ok to mention), where it was a norm to afk level skills using ingame skills. Of course, you could just use cheat codes but that would be cheating. Since I never played any other MMO apart from ROM, I really did not think afk killing using in games skills can even be considered illegal. I know GF views it as botting now, but again, is it clear cut? It was definitely not to me.
4) I am 100% agree with achilleas1 and others, change skills, add timer on the enchanted throw, 15 mins just like briar for wd, instead of banning people. Really only r/m has that elite, change it and then no need to even mention that rule.
5) I am very happy there are rules posted on forums, it will help, but don't assume everyone will see them till too late. It is not fair to players to give them skill that can lead to ban - if you don't like how skill is used, change it.

Its also in the ToS you accept everytime you lauch the game if I'm not mistaken

Unless it was changed recently, it only covers external programs.

ToS doesn't have to be changed, as one of the forum moderators posted recently, i couldve sworn they have the right to enforce their own rules onto the game as publisher if I'm not mistaken. It's in the thread I started abotu cursing and getting banned for it and so forth.
