bot

As the game evolves (marketplace and other upgrades) it is likely that "BOTS" will be legalized if you buy DM

In older unis where the number of active players to hunt is low, the inactives are always cleaned out

You can just lanx certain players any time of the day and they have inactive raids flying 24/7

Fun to compete against a bunch of 1's and 0's that never need to sleep

Yes in older unis in-actives are hit more because there aren't as many active people, thats just logic,

Some people just play the game alot and raid a lot, I for one am one of these people, and I dont need to use any bots to do so,

Here are 7 days raids amount in a 1 x speed server,

I am not saying there aren't any body using bots for raiding but I personally dont think its as much as people think there are.

Maybe taking screenshots of their activity or md their moons,try to somehow test their bots if he moves fleet if you attack with idk 1 lc ..etc etc but still depends on admin if he has a brain for it or not..

legit phalanxed a top 10 fleeter here with hundreds of millions of points, he was sending mass LC to actual active high ranked players, since the targets were around my moon with phalanx I receive a crap load of traffic every hour/day of the same player just farming those supposedly multi account miners.

don't expect anything from them. Two years ago I proved alarm script and they didn't even take a look. Most of the bots can be seen, but you need to know what you need to look at.

10 years ago one of my friend was banned just for sending raids to inactives without spying them, as GO was thinking he was using bot for farming

10 years ago a friend was banned for three days for sending 1LC to attack on 100% speed ( we were just looking for traces of alarm script) yet we were banned for overview spam for one attack with 1LC at 100% speed!!!

2 year ago I was bashed 3 times in a row from same player...first ban for 1 day, second and third for 3 days, then I catch him on his left foot with his alarm script and all GO say was: "we will look into it." Come one every person need to sleep at least 4 hours per day...and you still have players that have 24/7/365 activity. This activity applies for direct perma ban. Yes you can wake up every two hours (or every 40minutes)...but you can do this for one week or two, maybe month, but then your body WILL FAIL!

Bot's ? ... utter rubbish, fake news etc etc.. i came out of vmode in Quantum and within 10 seconds was being probed at various locations.... some players are really quick at finding and typing in co-ords ... i reckon we need a special SGO Judge Dredd style inforcer... to clean up the scum in the universe, if we can pay for DM, i reckon it will be worth paying for a insurance policy to make sure our DM isn;t being fraudulently used up!!!

As for Quantum, i just rehit vmode.... no point playing until the real bugs {scriptors} are fixed lol

Bots without hard proof qill never get banned, altho its myb cheaper for someone to put in few$ for bot then buy ridicolous amount of dm .. and just easy surpass

Honestly I think the main problem is that GameForge honestly do not give two Fcks about bots, lets be 100% honest here:

A simple google search of 'Ogame Bots' results in dozens of sites with services, You can find open source code to download from years ago, all in the first page of google, if Gameforge actually took action on these sites, it would of dented the number of players using bots just from the easy accessibility of these sites in the first place! (Such as )

That and of course lets be honest here, a lack of resources spent on developing and updating a proper anti-cheating system.

Its just too damn easy to give up and go down that path with a simple google search, that leads to dozens of cheating codes, with open forums that are not even private where you can read users comments saying how the code is avaible and working in late 2019...

Ive been playing this game for almost a decade and never cheated in any form and fashion.

Bots are an annoyance because it totally removes the aspect of skill and proper time management/adaptability, with a bot you can afk for a week with no worries of having your fleet crashed/resources plundered with proper schedule set-up.

Further more its no fun for players that are tracking a bot user only leading to the frustration and unfairness when theres nothing you can do to combat bot accounts, theres no reward, theres no challenge, theres no respect for the game...

Bots run rampant in every server I imagine, Im betting a good chunk (20%) of the top 100 players use some form of botting...

To Conclude, Gameforge is largely to blame here: The lack of action against these sites and services through out the years means that ordinary players that wish to cheat, can cheat easily with a very minor risk of getting caught, this is in pair due to the overall lack of oGame's anti-cheat software.

Sure you can debate that there will always be new sites popping up with cheats, but thats not the point when every 12 year old kid can look up a first result on ogames bot and download the source code, Games like RB6, League of Legends, if you wanna cheat you need to pay a hefty sum for those cheats, furthermore theres the danger of getting scammed by the site itself for the cheats/viruses, also the constant security patches/update, are what makes those games secure.

Ogame clearly lacks in that department

ogame is different in the manner that cheating been so fcking widespread through out the years that as stated you can find original codes from a few years back that are still compatible to ogame, its widespread like wild fire, everyone can access easily and download them in 5 minutes if they wanted to...

..::Edit by NoMoreAngel|Censored Bot Name|2.1.2020|20:15:14::..

Well there is a way to see if someone using bot or nor, by following its pattern of spy then fly, but only kinda reliable for farming situation, hardly to see the other way, just some staff members probably dont care much or dont reckognize those situations and dont ban etc.. thats why its supposed to report pver ticket systems if suspecting bot user, so they can specificl focus onto that player and check his playing pattern on witch expirienced sgo/ga etc can confirm an bot and ban it.. otherwise its just and will be last decade " Pay to win"

Honestly the Admins are a joke in this game, Im willing to bet without them, nothing would change either way....

Useless FCKS just like gameforge, power hungry and useless,

just like old men in politics...

alarm script is easy to recognize and make a workaround (the funniest way is when you crash person who use alarm script and he has no idea how this happened :D). On other side COMA had to place a ban for bashing, so I suspect that if you do buy a lot of DM GO, SGO and GA are powerless to ban you even for direct rule violation and we can't really expect that COMA will take a look into logs for bots.

This thread cracks me up, thanks for the laughs

So are we just going to ignore the elephant in the room, and just accept the fact that botting is a part of Ogame culture?

Well it has been for the past years or so, and no improvements on the horizon....
