It didn't work. RIP Faction chat.

So much for the Level 10 restriction.

[Puppy Pie]

sigh so much for using chat to sell my items to avoid the fee...

[Yxion]

Oh look, now you can't even see their level.

BTW all other real characters you can view info for no problem.

You actually expected a lvl restriction to make a difference?  I suppose you also think banning will work?

No I didn't. And no I don't.

[2501]

Of course it didn't work, amateur stuff, any kiddo can circumvent.

 

Maybe reduced, not sure. But last night on Juwol they were creating 100 new accounts every 15 minutes.

NCSoft can't be serious with the level 10 restriction.
You'd think they'd learn by now, especially since Rukkiri used to work for Square Enix (Because the level cap didn't work for them either in FFXIV and the bots/spammers just out leveled the restriction)

[Yxion]

Oh look. Exact same account, different character name. Why hasn't this account been banned?

Of course it will make a difference.

Don't be ridiculous.

 

You can't be serious if you honestly think that having a lvl 10 restriction will make absolutely no difference at all.

You're right, it'll make a difference...

Since it'll take a little more time before they can spam, they'll have more bots in the pipeline, thus using up more "spaces" on the server, leaving less room for actual players.

 

Didn't realize you were also looking for "negative" differences though.

[EbonWolf]

Yeah game overall is a disappointment.

What makes you think that?
1 slot is being used up by that lvl 4 character who is spamming the faction chat.

When he is banned, that slot slot is freed up.

Until they make the next character, and fill up that 1 slot again.

 

How would it make a negative difference on server population...?

One slot for one character, bot farms operate multiple program instances for multiple characters PER PC.

I talked to Jonathan on Tumblr about this already

[Yxion]

@ImpyHow about you tell them to get some volunteer GMs on the servers. I have been preaching this to the forums, to support, in game... I can understand not wanting to pay people for it, but seriously, there are many people like me qualified to do the job on a volunteer basis, and while it isn't a 'solution' having GMs online on every server, nearly 24/7 would make muting/banning so much easier.

[kamoex]

CAPTCHA should be a requirement on public chat.

 

Hard? yes, but for sure it will surely help at least. :)

[Tojiro]

Im on Junghado server and i only have 6 bots on my block list, all chats (faction, world, party) are all clean of bots....so it seemed to have heavily worked imo,i havent seen a bot in the past 7 hours

[Yxion]

I wouldn't use region/faction chat at all if they added a captcha. Might as well let bots have it if they do that.

[SamsaraLotus]

Onlly hard baning 24/7 will fix this. They must have gms on 24/7. For saying ONE add for gold selling you will get a life ban. This is how hard it need to be. 

Befor they do this we all can think nc /nc workers is the one runing the bots.

Having to do a captcha for chat = insta delete the game

For me, I don't mind captcha to just to mitigate this spammers.

[Saccharin]

At least low level players can report them this time.

[865804_1452550338]

Honestly i wouldnt mind them putting it up up to 45, allow only chat in groups or clans.

they can bypass captchas easily enough. all adding captcha will do is make it inconvenient for legitimate players to use chat.

[Takala]

at least we dont have 50+ anymore
