Welcome to the truth about corporations. To sum it up, its your money they want, and if you lose your account, they could care less. The loss of 1 player is insignificant to them.
yep money is all that matters. why does JM hate gold bots so much? cause its money they arent getting. its fairly obvious that some people are botting and doing other stuff. example
tonight some guy keeps spawning white spiders and ishades at the south gate in jangan. kills a bunch of below 20s and some people who are pvping. someone globals what they're doing. nothing happens. as well ive seen people global racial slurs, cuss words, sexual insults. you name it. nothing happens to them. i see the same people doing it all the time.
as an irc admin i could easily take 20 minutes and write a log parser that looked for terms like '******' '.....' etc and automaticly send a list of users who had used those terms to an email address.
joymax could easily do the same.
basically as i could see it comes down to this.
spend money with joymax and break the rules = 95 percent ignore rate
spend money somewhere else (like buying gold) = ban as much as possible.
the reason i say that is simple. its very very very easy to make a bot detector. all you need to do is have a form on the site where you submit someone you've seen botting. then the server records their actions. at the GMs convience they can watch what the player was doing and determine if they are botting. this does not require making a video since JM wrote the code and easily record every action a character makes to demo file (if youve played quake you know what i mean).
those 2 things ive listed above are quite obvious and have been done for anti-cheating in gaming a long time.
