1.lower the exp a lot when fighting monsters below your lvl, for example if you want to kill something 1 lvl below you you will barely get any exp. this will cause bots to not be able to bot because they always grind green mobs.
Would suck if you were a solo euro eh.
2. lower drop drop rate drastically or make it non existant when fighting mobs below your lvl. this is because even at ong taxis the plvlers get money from pt mobs and this will wipe out goldbots.
uhh dunno about you, but i'm pretty sure lvl 100 wiz don't get drops or gold there
3. drastically increase the power of champions and giants, this will create the need for skill when grinding, something bots cant do.
Have you ever paid attention to what you do when you grind. 123412341234 not really skills. Only time "skills" come into play is if you're out to ks with kd, only thing that prevents ppl from attacking.
4. increase the effectiveness of party play, exp or sp gain while in parties
Already in play, hence ppl re-made characters and became euros.
5. allow solo aoeing, which requires skill and attention, but is very fast lvling.
Nukes? Or what else did you have in mind???
6.make ltps more exp bonus, but maybe they spawn champions or giants
wait... isn't LTP? long time parties? Isn't that code for bot grinding... thought it was back in 80 cap days. They do, party i'm in almost always has 1-2 party giant spawned.
7.anything else to make solo w/o party and on lower lvl mobs impossible
Now I'm just confused.... First it's pro party 4, than pro solo 5

mageman1234 wrote:no i shall defend >=o
1.euros wouldnt solo
2.im talking about the lvl 60 wiz they fight lvl 3x but still get drops? thats rediculus.
3.theres a lot more to 123421321324, how about freeze,stun,knockback,debuff,kd,ice/fire wall etc
4. how about making it more effective, like party buffs,skills that make hand grinding 1000x more effective rthan botting?
5. no like real aoeing. luring 10-20 regular mobs and aoeing them all at once, maybe with a force healer or cleric.
6. well it should be for regular chinese soloing = =
7. pro solo, but aoeing or in a party ltp or fighting orange/red mobs

edit: it will work, there are games like silkroad that are dont have goldbots or grind bots.

1.lower the exp a lot when fighting monsters below your lvl, for example if you want to kill something 1 lvl below you you will barely get any exp. this will cause bots to not be able to bot because they always grind green mobs.Some characters have a hard time staying alive grinding on mobs at their level or higher, especially solo.
2. lower drop drop rate drastically or make it non existant when fighting mobs below your lvl. this is because even at ong taxis the plvlers get money from pt mobs and this will wipe out goldbots.If you want to wipe out gold bots, ban gold buyers
3. drastically increase the power of champions and giants, this will create the need for skill when grinding, something bots cant do.would make it even more difficult to solo.
4. increase the effectiveness of party play, exp or sp gain while in partiesI always thought exp/sp gain in parties was pretty good.
5. allow solo aoeing, which requires skill and attention, but is very fast lvling.Not sure what you mean. Even my blader has some skills to hit multiple mobs at the same time (number of connections). Isn't this AOE?
6.make ltps more exp bonus, but maybe they spawn champions or giantsThis would just help bots level faster when they are in a party. They'll just be coded to run away from champs and giants
7.anything else to make solo w/o party and on lower lvl mobs impossible

That is so true

If there is no loophole in arguments, how could I argue?

The more you use a particular skill the more experience and developed it gets. Your character being high leveled wouldn't mean a thing but rather how developed is it's skills.

Leveling up your character shouldn't be the issue. That should be easy..getting to level 100 should take like 1 month of casual play (2 weeks of hardcore playing). I feel thats how MMORPG should be designed. It makes more sense that way.

It makes sense. Character level could be seen more like the character's age, sort of. A 14 year old girl could kick the crap out of a 45 year old man if her skills are well developed.

There would have to be a way to ensure that people can't just bot their skill development. Put 2 of your bots in a secluded area PVPing each other with 3 skills you want to develop.
