They need to start figuring out a way to remove them for good.

Yea, casue I seem the bots advertising. Then I had Dakkon kick them all. Less than 3 min later they had new accounts doing it again.

I told him they should ban their IP's!!

I always assumed that this was the case. Isn't using sites like that always a bannable offense in games? It's very hard to actually catch someone using a service like those and the people that use those sites probably won't be affected by a nearly empty threat of being banned.

Can't any action be taken against the actual sites? It's not like they're super secret spots or anything they spam the url 50 times a minute in every town.

**Zwivix** · 12-10-2007, 09:55 PM

Lol, true, but I think they cant get any actual evidence to get the sites banned. Actually I would think it to be hard to get a site banned, since they have their own business, you cant just shut someone's business down becasue you dont like it. (That's probably some loop-hole they have or something like that).

Oh well if they could do something they would be the first MMO to have solved the problem ^^

We can track gold income. If yesterday you had 10silver, and the next day you have 600 silver, we sorta figure out what is up.

Pritcher · 12-10-2007, 10:11 PM

Ahh, I never thought of that one. Awesome then, start doing mass bans and then people probably will get the message. That's a lot to check though. Is there some sort of automatic alert system that can let you know if someone's in-game silver jumps suddenly?

**Hessah** · 12-10-2007, 10:13 PM

hopefully ur system will automatically flag accounts like that!

would be hectic to hv to go through each account and see if someone has miracally gotten rich~

**Zwivix** · 12-10-2007, 10:15 PM

But that doesnt solve the Powerleveling problem does it...

Unless we catch the people actually doing it, there really is no way to get rid of that, right?
