Whats the most effective way to report bots?

Some guys definitely are very annoying. Botting and permaenent killstealing dwarf. No wonder...since days a russian guy permanently whispers gold spam and botsale...with dozens of different chars.

If he is on a non peace zone use the Report Bot function otherwise post the violator's name on skype (events.classic)

I love to use sting on every single bot i see, they usually drop their soulshots... not bad at all haha

for the gold selling stuff we have chat moderators to chatban them and then report them to us to ban them. tho as you can understand this companies have been doing it for long time and have everything setted up in case IP or HWID needs to be changed/refreshed, so it would basicly takes us longer to ban their HWID then it would take them to go around it, so rly theres not much point on banning any other way then by acc. We could also waste some time in chat filters to block some key words, but it wouldnt change much neither cus instead of Adena they would start typing Ade.na or instead of skype they would write S.kype and stuff like this.

we also implemented the lvl restrictions on whisper and shout so it will take them a bit longer to be able to redo it all the time. (we sry for the problms this might cause to legit players in communication before level 10 but something had to be done).

 

About the other kind of bots (farming bots), well, you actualy happen to have one of your dear admins which is a sadistic jerk and takes big pleasure in banning people for boting so. when you see someone who might be a bot, "San0 in game (if im in game i always have pm unblocked), or san0.classic on skype, or forum pm (tho this last one might take a bit longer to respond). Skype is the best option cus even if im doing something else, i have almost always pc/tablet/phone around with skype on.
