Stupid Question - Snowhawk - 12-02-2008
Um this may seem like a stupid Question to all experienced players, but What is Botting?
I'm sorry if I may have missed it on the Board somewhere, its just I keep seeing people getting banned for it and since I don't know what it is I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing it myself.
Ignorance is not Bliss.

Botting is where you pretty much use a program to play RO for you.
Usually, to hunt items, because people are lazy. D=
You can usually recognise them if someone if hunting most things around them, and if you talk to them, you get no response. (hence the moving and killing part. XD If they are not moving, they may just be AFK. =P)

Oh. Well I never did anything like that before so I'm clear.
Thanks Ellie.

Like Ellie said, it's using a program to play for you, while everyone has to earn their levels and items, botters cheat them.
Don't worry, this is not something you can do accidentally ^_^; but if a GM checks you for botting, remember to always answer and comply with what they ask.

Ok. Is sitting AFK without a chat box open bad cause sometimes I forget, but I never let anyone touch my Laptop.
RE: Stupid Question - Motenai_Ronin - 12-02-2008
only if you're in a field, and you have a homunc set to kill without question
and of course no mining / fishing by program
if you're just afking in pront or any other city its okay, chatbox or not (however no chat boxes off the sidewalks(merchant highway)
RE: Stupid Question - Avalon_Fates - 12-02-2008
Its also if you teach yourself to sleep and mine unconsciously. I haven't worked out how to answer bot checks while sleeping yet...
RE: Stupid Question - Kadar - 12-02-2008
Fates if you (or anyone else) ever cites that as a reason for failing a bot/macro check I'm going to laugh at you (them) for weeks.
RE: Stupid Question - Avalon_Fates - 12-03-2008
hehehe
RE: Stupid Question - GM-Pandora - 12-03-2008
And I'll be laughing at their banned ass too.
@Snowhawk if you don't have a homunculus you can afk anywhere you want be it field, dungeon or town (at your own risk if there are aggro monsters) there is no need to have a chat room up. If you are an alchemist/creator and have a homunculus however, do not afk with it attacking or in a situation that it could potentially attack (afk-leveling is forbidden).
