You are fake news.
Botting isn't fun if other people can bot freely.Ranselknulf wrote: ↑ February 7th, 2023, 10:41I think the issue most mmo games have is they never designed with the idea of people botting.
Some newer games have started to accept the reality and give regular players tools to set up bots, write lua scripts, etc to automate some of the more repetitive aspects of game play.
You might say, "well, just design the game not to have these repetitive task!"
That doesn't help in the long term economic sense though. Designing a game around people playing on a human time scale (for resource acquisition), just means people who bot will have that much better advantage.
I think the secret sauce for a successful mmo will be finding a way to blend botting into a game universe while still making the non-botting aspects of the game enjoyable.
This. The entire reason people bot is because the shit in game has perceived value, it has perceived value because it takes a lot of time to acquire. You allow players to bot and it loses perceived value because, while it may still take a lot of time to acquire, it ain't your time.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ February 7th, 2023, 13:39Botting isn't fun if other people can bot freely.Ranselknulf wrote: ↑ February 7th, 2023, 10:41I think the issue most mmo games have is they never designed with the idea of people botting.

Not that I'd know.

The future of MMOs will be two AIs trying to outsmart each other, one will bot and the other will try to detect it.
Also you're a piece of shit for botting Rusty, I want you to know that.
I think they recently went through the desert/Arab area and sanitized everything they considered "icky" without a vote as well. The audacity of these faggots to destroy their betters' work.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ October 11th, 2023, 04:49the alternative is even worse, because we've seen it
they've repeatedly added pride shit to the game without any user input because they know it would lose overwhelmingly each time. So the entire 'vote' thing is just an illusion of choice(shocker!) when it comes to sacred cows.
Might remind you of exactly how it went in real life, too.
Don't know if they did that in OSRS, but they did it in RS3. The entire point of it was a joke the nu-devs apparently didn't even understand, all the arab guys had the same name because they were all trying to get the inheritance. So they changed their names without even understanding the story.Oyster Sauce wrote: ↑ October 11th, 2023, 09:15I think they recently went through the desert/Arab area and sanitized everything they considered "icky" without a vote as well.

At least the community pushed back, the KKK riots were hilarious.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ October 11th, 2023, 04:49the alternative is even worse, because we've seen it

If Jagex wants to go full on globohomo (they have), I ain't saying shit. If it was any other game I'd be spamming the shit out of the chatbox with the most racist, homotranswomanphobic shit I could come up with, but I sank way too many hours into this motherfucker to get banned.FPYockey wrote: ↑ October 12th, 2023, 01:12At least the community pushed back, the KKK riots were hilarious.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ October 11th, 2023, 04:49the alternative is even worse, because we've seen it

Locked into the game with a thousand island stare at the screen.
I was there. They had jmods there perma banning anyone wearing white robes or saying anything that could be slightly perceived as "homophobic". We lost many good people that day.FPYockey wrote: ↑ October 12th, 2023, 01:12At least the community pushed back, the KKK riots were hilarious.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ October 11th, 2023, 04:49the alternative is even worse, because we've seen it
