Rouailtagh 07-25-2006, 12:02 AM Problem located. Bot scripts are for non-idiots only. Currently getting my Fishing skill up high enough to use the script to fish for Stonescale while I sleep ...

Hard to figure out people not getting this.
Botting in a heavier traffic area -> Another player will see you -> Said player will report you -> GM will take ticket, port out to you and watch -> Ban/Suspension for using a bot.
I'd be a little more concerned about it given if more people are caught using bots then the numbers could justify Blizzard trying to implement extra measures to stop botters. Not saying Glide is easy to detect, but it's not 100% invincible and given enough time and incentive I'm sure Blizzard will figure out a way around it. Hell the site and buying it isn't that secretive, Bliz employees could easily buy one. And I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few actually use it.
It would be kinda funny to see Blizzard step it up to the point of offering loot rewards for turning in botters. It would be a digital witch hunt. :rofl:

agreed....where are the best places to fish stonescale?
Rouailtagh 07-25-2006, 11:13 AM agreed....where are the best places to fish stonescale?
Graphix said he knew a sweet spot. All he said was it's a little more than a shallowly submerged island you can stand on that's beyond the visibility of the shore. He said a while back to PM him for the location but I'm not sure if he's telling anyone anymore.
Anyone else to be so generous as to donate their profiles (alliance??)
Rouailtagh 07-25-2006, 10:24 PM Teh profiles that were "donated" here seemed to have bothe alliance and horde stuff. I havent' gone over it in detail but it looked like they had profiles for both.
Surge 07-25-2006, 10:37 PM theres a few alliance ones when i was gonna level on a new server, not sure how high they go but at 30 you can start in desolace anyway, not like you need any for higher levels
Rouailtagh 07-26-2006, 10:41 AM In all honesty, it's probably a better idea to make your own profiles. Poking around the Glidw forums leads me to believe that simply botting in lower traffic areas may not be enough. Some glider was apparently banned because himself and a couple of other botters were running in the same area, the isle in STV full of panthers and gorillas. Botter said that he didn't set it and leave it and was generally around the computer and his chat logs came up with a couple of whispers from people asking if the botting was going well. One of the reasons he was "flagged" was apparently there were a handful of other botters working on the isle. A GM popped in after a few hours and he noticed mobs were despawning and respawning in different spots around his area. After a couple of minutes, he was disconnected with the banned message. He took screenshots and all.
This leads me to believe that while Glide is technically not detectable on a code/data level the GMs are forced to rely on other means to determine botters. Glide is free by trial for up to 10 minutes I think, which could be enough when combined with using the right public profiles to determine if someone is botting. They could simply run a public profile (and even for only 10 miinutes) and determine if you are a botter simply by seeing if their test mimics you exactly.
Given how lazy most people can be and just grab publicly available (and most likely widely used) profiles to bot with it most likely provides enough leverage for GMs to find and ban botters. So if you really care about your account and you really don't want to be banned (some people who glide simply don't care about the game anymore and don't mind being banned) you should probably spend some extra time and create your own, unique profiles that look as human as possible. It'll go a longer way to assure your risk of being banned is as minimal as possible.
Violent 07-26-2006, 03:11 PM If you want to get real crazy with it. Check out the custom class guides. You can change that whole "bot" mimic look. Macros are also an easy way to change your characters bot look, find macros for your class that cast diffrent spells.
Example:
My hunter casts the mana drain sting on mobs with mana vs scorpid sting on mobs without. Also, Casts Aspect of the Monkey when it enters melee combat, casts aspect of the hawk if it uses a ranged shot, and casts cheetah when it exits combat.
My shaman casts diffrent rank earthshocks while interupting depending on mana available.
Anything that breaks up the "bot" look helps.
StarZ 07-26-2006, 04:29 PM question about glider, could i set it up to do the Field Duty quest in Silithus over and over? it involves talking to npc's and choosing quest items.. ive never used the program..
Gringo 07-26-2006, 04:37 PM No, in as much as the bots can't interact with things, it only plays by tab-targetting, escape target clearing, and a keys file that presses/passes certain keys bound to default spells or macros.
The one thing I dislike about the program is about how unreal you look when you're actually playing. It will jump and strafe randomly, but nothing at all like someone who has, say, years of FPS experience and look like ADD kids bouncing around. Considering that constitutes a large majority of players that grind mindlessly, you stick out like a sore thumb.
I almost never leave my PC ever while botting, so I tend to just set up a kill order of spells and macros, and I move the char around myself as I tend to chat with other officers, and the normal botting fucks up typing without pressing certain keys first - it's just damn annoying to talk sometimes. I just target, and hotkey "1 Kill" to the mob, and then dance around like normal.
If only they could put in a bit more of a "jittery player" feel, would be very hard to detect at this programs advanced stage.
Rouailtagh 07-26-2006, 07:07 PM and casts cheetah when it exits combat.
Don't know how well that would work since you still get the 3 escond dazed debuff every single time you are hit... That one thing about the Hunter still miffs me, Druids and Shamans get total unrestricted movement on their travel forms but hunters still get gimped. I remember hearing they were gonna fix that but I dunno, it's been way too long for something that obvious to still be around.
Surge 07-26-2006, 07:26 PM yeah there's a few classes that look pretty "bottish"
hunter, rogue, and warlock all seem pretty normal for the most part. you just have to change the keys around a bit and throw in some macros for efficient killing

There's nothing to fix, it's completely WAI.
Once again, your idiocy shines through.

So shamans are druids are allowed to run at normal travel speed and hunters get dazed 100% if struck? I can see if it was AoP for AoC makes no sense. And I highly doubt hunters are so much more buffed over the other classes in terms of PvP over druids or shamans to justify it (assuming equal levels, gear, etc. for sake of argument). It's like giving druids and druids the same damage, same casting cost on Smite and Wrath but making one's channel time .5 or 1.0 second more.

Imagine a hunter always able to keep you at range, even when you catch up to them.
Now imagine them wingclipping you. Hello Aimed Shot + Wingclip + Aimed Shot etc.

It requires critical thought to link this to the topic, I highly doubt Feannag will be able to handle it.
Gringo 07-27-2006, 11:25 AM Not to mention if Hunters DO get hit, they have a "Get out of jail free" card every 30 seconds. Wah wah about it resisting.
I try to get my hunters killed in every raid as they rub in the fact they can FD pull, pull agro fd, and wipe fd. Everytime I see a naked hunter on the ground near a wipe, the baby jesus cries.

hahah fuck i couldnt remember Feannag's name.. i was going to ask if Rouailtagh was a new account of his
Does anyone have Surge's profile in zip form again?
