Closed I'm guessing Nexon does not care about botters

Xbox-Security PDF - "17 Mistakes"
Read #17 on the very last page.
Having just communications with your playerbase can fix lots of problems. I believe the ninja training requirements are ridiculous. But you still have to enforce your own terms of service to be taken seriously. Changing whythey're enforced[1] is less work. Ignoring why simply attracts the cheating in the first place
---
[1] Why something is enforced: Which is more publicly justifiable?
A:) Persecuting for an understandably hard to train skill that offers very little R1 combat utility
or
B:) persecuting someone who cheated on a skill that isn't understandably hard to train in the first place and is very much not going to earn sympathy?
B certainly seems an easier target, as they'd come off as lazy and nobody's going to rescue someone who can't justify their cheating
Also, many defense attorneys don't make as much money as you'd think, so if you really believe they're in it for money only and not for the justice of their client, you're incredibly mistaken. You're blowing a simple analogy out of proportion and it wasn't meant to be taken completely literally, as that was in response that person who stated "Defending people who breached contract."
And how grindy you view skills to justify not botting is completely subjective.
P.S: I don't bot. But it wouldn't surprise me if you'd accuse me of being one of those people "not admitting to using them due to fear of punishment."
Here's my logic for why botters are breaking the TOS for something as small as skill training: they're lazy
Lazy people are everywhere. Almost every MMORPG has botters, because every MMORPG has lazy players. Botting is more widespread and welcome in this community because laziness is also widespread. And also because Nexon has a dubious reporting system.
You say that I should look for a problem, but this "problem" is simply your justification for cheating. And your stance on that is unrelated to the game, believe it or not.
Banning cheaters = more people buying copies of the game = more funds ! !
What they do while they are afk training their skills is:
- entirely "conjecture"
- doesn't change the fact that they are being lazy by botting in the first place.
Nexon has no incentive to make the skills to be reasonably trainable to people who actually have a life as they just throw training pots in gachas for money, and sell training pots.
Also, you can't use the word conjecture in this scenario unless you actually believe macro'ers stare at their computer while their skills are training, which defeats the purpose of the macro in the first place.
- Sleeping
- Watching TV
- Eating
Personally, I think the first is the most likely.
Here's an anology to show your logic.
A guy convinces somebody to do his two-hour math HW for him. He then spends the next two hours working out at the gym, getting some serious gains.
You: The fact this guy had somebody else do his work for him is irrelevant because he worked super hard at the gym.
Okay
Your analogy offers a win-win situation, an assumed good grade on math homework along with health benefits from working out at the gym. If he doesn't get caught cheating, and unless you can prove he did cheat, he has nothing to lose. This is opposed to a game where absolutely nothing is gained from manually training a skill other than maybe a sense of self-pride.
Not to mention, your logic is flawed from the beginning. A botter is cheating in order to obtain something he doesn't want to work for. Whatever he does while botting is irrelevant to the fact that he's being lazy by botting in the first place.
Again, we have training pots in this game, which require zero effort to train skills. If a person buys one from another player for gold, Nexon is making no money except from the person who pulled the potion from a gacha. And it's highly unlikely that training pots were even their desired prize. How come you aren't calling the pot trainers out on their laziness?~
And pages...
Of recursive self-sustaining loophole arguments that are simply the same first point rephrased over and over again trying to find the "you win" loophole when it's been made apparent that both sides exist in the first place rendering a one-sided win moot
Since both sides are confirmable(motives for cheating varies), neither side wins. Mwuahahahahahahahahaaa!
You have to buy training pots, either with real money or in-game gold. That money did not grow out of nothing. You had to earn it somewhere.
If you can't see the difference between that and cheating to obtain something you didn't work for, then I don't know what to say.
What if the pots were gifts? Obviously you don't have to work for a gift. Ergo, no effort and the skills are trained anyway.
What else do you have?
That point about gifts is too dumb for an actual answer.
Also, it's apparent that you're just here to argue. Slow day?
I've accomplished everything I've needed to do today in my real-life, and I'm enjoying a relaxing Christmas Break until next semester. It seems the day is slow for you, since you choose to continue to argue.
