Anti-bot system

[waxen heron]

Implement an anti-bot system where the system will detect a non-stop activity.

30-minutes random time after a non-stop activity, there will be a captch appear.

The captcha will appear at the top-right of randomly on the screen.

The captcha will be the size not big enough to cover the screen. Maybe around 1/8 the size of the screen.

The captcha will allow the user to do game activity for 10-minutes before disabling interactions.

After answering the captcha, small rewards will be given.

If the captcha is not answered for 1-hour after the 10-minute mark, bot suspection will be considered.

This will help for like a few hours until the bots adapt.

It would be better to follow the money and ban the charakter who get the money at the end.

Random box location, with random questions maybe a little more hard for bots adapt.

Not CAPTCHA random time but like every hour, but with random questions, só bot never know what need answer at Next question. And maybe character stuck when Open CAPTCHA

@valid hedge yes true, ban main account Will help too

Yeah, why don't you make us complete a mini game every couple of minutes before we can continue playing the game.
No amount of captchas will fix the bot problem.
They need to have better autodection and automatically ban the bots. Also enforce strict rules for people RMTing penya by banning everyone involved

Minigame might be more fun than grinding ngl

[waxen heron]

Yes. Being sarcastic helps. Thank you so much. It helps a lot.

You're suggesting better autodetection, mind sharing how you do it in a game played on a browser?

Everything which has the word captcha screams ‘poorly designed’

every time someone says anything along the lines of keeping the captcha in any way or form I am reminded of this reddit post

https://old.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/123vp0u/how_should_blizzard_get_rid_of_bots_bad_answers/

where every other reply is "captcha"

This was already tried in Runescape and had no effect on bots. Funny enough Runescape also had captchas at one point, prior to random events.

Botting is an issue that MMO devs have been trying to solve for over 20 years. Sorry to burst your bubble but these devs can't even solve the issue of non stackable soul linked prems. They aint solving this problem.

You know that the Bots can scan the WHOLE screen. It doesn't matter where the captcha is, they can still "answere" it.
It is way to expensive to check every user for his inputs and for how long he did something.

I recently posted a suggestion to fix the bots problem that can have little to no inconvenience to real players (if done properly, it can even benefit real players), while nerfing the bots money making.

It didn't get too much attention, probably in part because the person that posted the suggestion for me left the server hours after posting so the suggestion along with the reactions were deleted, but i reposted it in the comments.

So, for those that are interested in taking down bots supremacy and maybe share some thoughts, check it out: https://discord.com/channels/778915844070834186/1112067556057022554

I think is not good idea as long its captcha system bot developers can bypass it in hours. They are smart and talented programmers this is a browser flyff game and it is easy for bot developers to develop bypass we dont have a gameguard like in flyff pc clients. So its big No for me too

[valid hedge]

Just follow zhe IPs a few times and ban some of the main chars. All the high level guys who bot will be scared in future and stop to destroy our economy with their selfish botting

[ruby zenith]

Even if I don't feel the suggestion is productive: thank you for drawing attention to the topic. the problem is far too big and far too little is talked about!

i think the only way to solve the bot problem is to find the developer of the bot and let him work for gala! but that won't happen because gala doesn't care about the bot problem as long as enough money comes in

I get bot checked like way to much when lvling specially while doing the master quest.
