Botting

[Gimlet]

Here's my 2 cents on botting.

I can't stand botters, and recall them on sight.

However, the ppl who have been whinning about botters (not pointing at Seda) have usually been the ones most nonchalant about it when I point out to them so-and-so are botting in their groups. They usually say "so?" or tell me to shut up.

So please, do not take the thou-art-holier attitude. You all know you welcome botters if they help u kill bigger mobs in your group.

You junk the transsubstantiated tail of the mana gater.

So now that Madmax has looted 2 of my personal cps should I glock my groups? I realize regardless of what I do someone will say I am unfair. So here is the predicament. Leaders cannot enforce certain rules in a group. It is really impossible. Then you have these big mobs that you muster the whole game for and somebody loots for you. So from now on if you loot some personal cp that is not yours I will personally junk it every time. If you refuse to give me the cp, I will lose some levels after I piasa, shock, loot, and junk the item. I haven't ran eternal flame for quite some time because I don't play Sloth to get mad. I play to have fun. If you can't control your triggers or botting I will take it to the next level. I honestly don't care.

I left because I felt the whole ordeal was a mess, and I had a horrible headache and had only gotten less than 4 hours sleep. I was in no shape to group for something like that and that is why I left.

As for botting and bad scripts... Avatars should know better. I appreciate a nice person and friend who likes to help out but there has to be a line drawn somewhere. The immortals have stated it loud and clear, you are responsible for your client. You are the one who should go out and test it on solo mobs. You are the one who should pay the concenquences for screwing up.

Now on the other hand, there really could be some leader commands set up to prevent unwanted looting of personal items. I realize that imms might not want too much control over groups, but this isn't a pkill mud. We can't punish people except for not allowing them in groups, and that is pretty mean since there aren't that many good groups to choose from.

I would like to see leader "corpse guard". The corpse would be noloot until leader gave command for someone else to loot. Items that have just fallen off of astral mobs could not be picked up for at least 3 ticks unless leader gave the command. I think this would help a lot vs big group looting of personal items. Unless someone has a better idea...

Can just add a proc to room that prevents anyone from executing the 'get all' command. From floor or corpse. I think that would suffice, cuz then someone would have to type get objname intentionally.

[jezer]

That works... but maybe a better idea is for group leaders to be able to set autoloot off for people in groups? Say for example... there are a bunch of dead corpses in a room with an aggro... the get all command is useful in that case... it could be bad to block it to get round an autoloot problem. Better to treat the cause instead of the symptom.
