Server: Seafarer’s Rest
THE INTRODUCTION:
So far, in PvP, botting was not stimulated, until 2 weeks ago when Halloween 2013 started. Halloween is active until 11 November, according to latest patch-notes, and this is why I post this bug.
THE HOW:
This botting can be done easy, with a clicking software.
On each 5 minutes set coordinates for: click on PvP on upper left menu, click on second tab, then click on Join for SoloQ, then click random spells on each 10 seconds.
The clicking software will repeat clicking those coordinates (access, join and spells) the whole night while player is at sleep.
THE MOTIVATION FOR BOTING:
On each match lost, player gets 5 Pieces of Candy Corn – quite useful in PvE, especially on Halloween event.
Winning does not matter here, glory does not matter here, ranking does not matter here, only the PvE rewards for the PvP lost match matter. The 5 minutes are set to assume that match will be lost fast because of other players ragequit.
PROTECTION (personal opinion):
No rewards for PvP loosing, especially not PvE content.
You may put buttons, confirmations, human verification codes, etc., but in the end the solution is simple: no PvE rewards in PvP. This way players will have no reason to do botting in PvP.
PERSONAL NOTE:
This topic is not written to promote botting, but to make the developers aware that bringing PvE rewards to PvP (especially for loosing) will affect the PvP concept and mechanics.
