Your guess is correct and believe it or not: I’m actually working with similar stuff on a daily basis, I work in IT, with dev teams and so on…but enough about me

I find that odd, that an adult (were assuming here,) has no clue how issues with games, or products in general are worked out. The same goes for character positioning/collision detection, if a normal route to a quest NPC is A → B → C → D, then why isn’t any character that goes from A → D ignoring anything in their path kicked from the server too? I mean, if for example the run speed of an character is X on foot, or Y on a mount, then why the heck does the server not disconnect a character that flashes around with Z run speed? NWO has changed a lot over time and the AD sellers have moved on to other games…Īnyway, my point would be, with a huge corporation like Amazon behind this game, it’s not really understandable how they can fail this spectacularly on something basic like keeping bots under control. On some days every few minutes a new goldseller spammer would pop up into the city, do his advertisement and then just disconnect and be replaced with another one later.Īnd when they also increased the required character level to write in Zone chat, the AD sellers would just park their characters near a mail box or the bank and wrote their advertisement into the /say channel instead.

Well, Neverwinter Online bots were used in dungeon/skirmish runs for gathering rough Astral Diamonds, therefore you have hardly seen one in the open, but there were a few multiboxer running around with their character trains…Īnd a while ago the AD seller spam in NWO was really bad as well, i had several thousands of spammers in my ignore list at some point, and that started crashing my game when i tried loading into Protectors Enclave - i had to start cleaning my ignore list on a regular basis.
