OGame is once again overrun with bots

  • How long does Gameforge plan to tolerate bots? I'm truly losing patience with this game. Is it really that difficult to catch someone using a bot? You'll lose honest players; you've already lost most of them, but the few who remain and financially support you... Will anything be done soon regarding this issue?

  • Yea and honestly, its not that hard to catch bot users. Their are tall of maintenance recently.


    Its not that hard to implement a new hidden field in the login form during a maintenance that would be send when attempting to login without blocking the users from which this new field is missing.

    After a few days, you will have a complete list of players where the field could potentially be missing and which are then likely not using one of the official/authorized logins access forms


    But yea, if its not done yet, its not their priority i suppose


    Indeed; you wont catch the most basic bots with this (those using user scripts with tampermonkey), but these that relies on the :ninja: backend would defintly be caught

  • Yes, I have heard all sorts of complaints about it but believe me Team is legitimately hearing you all. Please submit ticket so we can re-check or cross-check.
