Wandering priest bot


#14

Yeah, they all share the traits u mentioned, so they are bots. I was more explaining what they were used for


#15

i have been in some servers like AE, aus and ASE and i have seen a priest running on the footpath thingy (idk what is it called) and it seems like a bot. It is always a blue star and it kills any enemy it sees in its way. Is this a problem? (sorry i have bad english)


#16

Thus sounds like the begining of the end xd

I just got back after a year and I don’t know if everyone already knows this and I’m just late to the party but who knows, maybe they’re new.

So I noticed every now and then that in a tiny realm there’ll be a level 20 bluestar at midlands with a speed ring, and at first that might not seem very suspicious at first, but they only go on the roads of the realm forever and ever and ever.

Now you’ll probably be thinking to yourself, “Midlands op fame farming strat? theres no way these are fame bots” like I did, but apparently its PRETTY effective
Fucking

(That’s like more fame than I have on any characters)
And slowly but surely, these guys make a constant fame gain of about 9000 fame per month passively (And yes I got like 3500 fame within 4 days of returning with 5 hours of extreme gaming a day and only 2 lh’s, but that’s still a lot for bots that you can make infinite of and reap the profits of afterwards with a non bannable technique).

I just hope this hasn’t been going on for like 6 months and is as obvious as me pointing out that there are spambots in nexus


At this point, DECA perma banning all hackers would kill the game

Since that thread is closed, I guess I’ll put my reply here (maybe will be merged into it?).

I have already reported these bots to Deca through a support ticket. I provided extensive information regarding the bots, including as many usernames/accounts I could find that I suspected of botting in this manner. I did take screenshots of what I sent in for my ticket, and if you want to see what exactly I sent in then feel free to ask me.

The fame decrease in one of OP’s screenshots for the bot is likely because of my ticket, I got a response from support at around that time. From what I can gather, the fame of the bots was reset. Nothing else changed. They clearly were not banned, even temporarily, because right afterwards they just get back at it. They didn’t even get all the bots because when I took a look at one of the guilds that a lot of the bots were in, there was still like 1 lone, obviously a bot, account that didn’t have its fame lowered or reset at all. I literally linked this guild’s name/Realmeye page in my ticket and said it was a guild filled with these bots.
I’m not even sure if it was a legitimate reset, because the account fame of these bots seems really high, and they generally won’t naturally die because to absolutely no one’s surprise these bots can autonexus from danger.

And guess what, the fame eventually gets back up to the levels it was at previously because an automated process (a bot) wasn’t even attempted to be stopped. It’ll keep doing the same things it was doing previously, and just like before, over time the numbers accumulate. Resetting fame isn’t even a good band-aid fix.

It’s actively harmful to the health of the game to keep these bots up. It makes Realmeye leaderboards less meaningful for both top characters and top guilds (if they have one of these bots in them). It makes it harder for legitimate players to get on those leaderboards. Guild fame has actual in-game effects (and look at these bots’ account fame). If what I’ve heard about them being notifier bots is true, then they’re literally part of ToS-violating actions, and I think the effects of notifiers on the game and community are fairly visible.

The only “good” features of keeping these bots up are that you can tp closer to godlands easier if you’re in a dead realm and no one else is close enough to godlands. Violates the ToS either way.

So yeah I’m pretty salty about the lack of action regarding this.

I’ve been watching these bots for a while ever since I noticed them during ded hours in Australia. They run highland roads and shoot at monsters near them until they find a candy gnome. Once they kill it they spam CANDY LAND over and over until the portal disappears.

I don’t know why.


#22

I’ve noticed it as well - apparently, the one I encountered decided on using a Wizard, for no discernible reason. Too lazy to level it up to level 5 to unlock Priest, I reckon.

I guess they’re what I’d call Chaotic Neutral.
Technically a violation of the ToS, but they minimally interfere with gameplay or give one specific individual an advantage over others (unless they use it as a way to easily farm CLands, for some reason?).

#24

I believe their primary function is to serve as notifier bots. they run around the roads because that’s less dangerous than standing still, and because standing on the beach makes it so you don’t get oryx callouts which they need to read. I don’t know how they’re getting fame, but it seems like it’s either an unintentional byproduct or somehow a means of killing two birds with one stone. spamming cland when they find one would be a way of notifying for cland, a dungeon that’s normally difficult to find and hasn’t been cheesed outside of keys until now


#25

Unfortunately I think the drop in fame was a suicide, because the bot has 25,000 account fame. Nice work though!


#26

well since this priest gains alot more fame than me each month i started to work too :slight_smile:


#27

Why are we counting out the possibility that its just a dude that likes running around on the road :eyes:


#28

its a bot from the ROTMG events discord (aka tracker)


#29

I can confirm they’re notifier bots from talking to the creator, and the fame is just a byproduct from constantly killing any monsters in range of long periods of time.


#30

Autoaim. I tried dragging on one and it was very disappointing because it killed about half the enemies then autonexused


#31

I just wanted to post this:

I hate this game.


#32

FTFY?

How come this thread is missing the phrase at the bottom?
You managed to necropost 4 months later. Explain your necromancy, Tim.
