i'm not sure if anyone have noticed in the server u're playing, but on alps server, the number of high lvl players have increased in a very fast rate. hotan is really really full of stalls.....

i think a new bot programme must have worked a way to get around that image code system, the reason i said that is because every now and then, i see a pile of high lvls riding armored horse line up on the west gate of hotan. they just line up their one after another, doing nothing, sitting on their horse. this looks like a new bunch of botters to me.

did anyone else see something like this????

the image thing dont block botters
just block the script for auto-login
the only good thing in image is if a botter get d/c he must log on, before the image he could just use a script that would check if u got a d/c and then relog u in game.

The increase in bot number is cuz now there is a bot program that u dont have to pay to use, usually who sends a party invite for u is using it.

I did a TCP dump on my network, but as far as I can see too little information is being transmitted to allow for an image transfer. Perhaps I'm seeing this wrong (I'd appreciate it if someone could check this), but it looks like they're just transmitting an encrypted string, and that the display of that string on screen is handled by the client. In that case, a clientless bot program could easily get around this roadblock. I'll do some more research on this tho, since I'm interested to find out exactly what is happening.

Yep the new clientless is able to bypass the image thingy,that why so many farmers running again.
