Now it's up again, but by a different company. I believe it's the company that made it.

No one listens

banning doesn't help, find a way to stop them to connect helps...

in this case it should be like a window before you login where you should answer random questions like 5+5=, 10x10= etc.

this made my day xD
rofling hard

If bots/loaders/etc can figure out the characters in a captcha (which they have done) they certainly can input those characters into a calculator to determine what 5+5 is. Those math questions won't work.

Thats why I said etc..

Dont think they can answer a question like this:

What is the biggest?
The Moon, an Elephant, A nail.

etc.

yeah, this is even better

Where do you find the web events? I can't see it

yet there're ppl who doesn't. You can't answer if you don't know English

Good job Joymax, actually trying.

That's what natural language processing is for. Write software that will scan a string of text, decide if it is a sentence or a question. Pick out the subject, verb, etc. Run it through a database to identify the definitions of things and compare.

Granted, the AI for it would be a bit more advanced than just 5+5=10 or figuring out a simple captcha, but it can be done. The bot/loader/etc could even have a database in different languages and have scripting to identify the language. The bot makers could even update their database every time Joymax comes up with a new question or 50 questions.

Joymax doesn't really have to design a system to prevent bots from entering the game if they simply make it extremely inconvenient or impossible for bots to stay. Take away things that attract the bots. Constant bot bans. Yes, they keep coming back, but if they keep getting banned before lvl 5, will they find it worth creating more bots... eventually? Find a way to identify gold buyers and ban them all! You buy gold, BAN. People will stop buying gold and botting if they know they WILL get banned for it. No more gold buyers, no more (or less) gold bots. Active punishments will bring the 'bad' traffic down to something a lot more manageable.

Active GMs and good server-side scripting ftw.

idd idd you are correct, let me rephrase that

uhh... theres a who wants to be a millionare thing where the first question is like... whats the biggest
the moon an elephant a human or a pea or something like that and the woman instantly replies

Elephant final answer.

lol?

ps.. whats this web event?

Bot = computer
AI = computer
server = computer

Use computer to fight a computer = no one win. There's always a solution for one to fight back.
In bottom line, human >> computer
