Bot simulator!! (Update)

[IronHack]

That is all RO has become.... Gravity let it die by sitting around doing nothing while the host right holders watch the cash flow in but wont spend a cent of it to improve a counter to the growing plague within their game. "Oh daddy corp has to say ots ok to make a change to the game before we do anything"

Yeah right, there is a lot of inhouse things that could have been done to stop the bot issue.... Like Check names, if theres a lot of characters that have names like sdeirjfghsdjirgkj Guess what, its a BOT!
Check the item data base, if someone has a large number of cards or low drop items on an account with just a merchant. Might want to do a transaction check on it, as I'm sure it's a bot user.
Have GM's sit in populare botting hot spots for a little while during their shift. You will be surprised how many would be deleted daily from just that one.
Have staff members watch towns so they can ban the zeny seller spam... The same zeny sellers are still in Izlude and Prontera since I started this server.... That was aweek ago.

Stop milking the cow and destroying a well loved game and finally start protecting it like you claim to be! Right now each server of Ragnarok owned under IRO has over a 60% online characters being bots.

Bots are using far more server resources then real players would. Why you may ask, because the bot is always moving, killing things, and looting for hours on end until the owner turns it off to clear the storage and start again. While most players will play for 3-7 hours take a break or be done for the day. Bots are running 24/7


====UPDATE====
I am glad to say that the staff has finally started a hard push against the botting issue, roughly 1k daily bot count and their mains have been removed. Hopefully they are able to keep this up or put something into the client that will take care fo the bots for them.

"Hello there! We have a dedicated team of bot-hunters that work around the clock patrolling the maps and suspending any suspected bot user. If you find any suspected bots, you can always report them via ticket on our Support Page: https://support.warpportal.com/Main/Default.aspx

Thanks ;)"

Its the same things being said on the forums when players bring up the bot issue, private servers can clear out bots and have close to 2k real players. While IRO only has 400-900 real players and 3k bots online
