WAR (Warhammer Online)

  The ugly truth of MMOs and especially pvp based MMOS is the rampant cheating in these games. WOW a victim of its own success cannot keep up on all the cheat mods, programs, and gold sellers. Its basically why i dont play WOW anymore. PVP cheating is why i dont care for it. Its just a givin that people buy or sell gold and things and flown the white flag. Its why it so hard to know if a person is really good in pvp or just a good hacker, kinda like steriods in sports.

Now, Im hoping that WAR has a good program and defense against hacking and mods. Just needs to be addressed early and harshly. Its sad that people feel the need to cheat just so they can have some sort of eliteness in a computer game. I know pvp is fun and important but it also brings out the worst in people it seems.

I want to see WAR to succeed. I just dont want in a year down the road a game full of cheaters and gold sellers.We as a community can help by reporting suspicious behavior and gold sellers.

Heres to a long productive and fun run for Warhammer Online.

Kinda sad i see this topic just after receiving a gold seller tell.

I really hope they implement a spam filter early on into the games lifecycle

^ just report it

For cheating to deal with that they have punkjbuster which the mods can enable to look at paticular player..

Yeah i got 2 tells today from gold sellers.  I just wonder where they got the money already to sell.  I knew a kid that bought gold in LOTRO I gave him so much shit for that.  I just don't know why anyone would want to spend real money on fake money. lol

Simple. It's much more time efficient to work IRL and buy the gold, than spend all day farming it. Even if you do work min wage.

Gold sellers will always find a way around the systems and what not. It's just a fact of life. I personally don't care who buys gold. To each their own.

I dont buy the argument that gold spammer are just a fact of mmo games.

Theres a way to stop them, just no one has really cared to think of a easy way to do it, other than have someone on 24/7 on all servers with their fingers on the ban button.

I will say, if you could make a program to stop gold farmers you would probably be a billionair fairly quick.

And i don't buy the argument that there's a easy way to do it. I'm sure developers aren't just like, "Meh" to the whole gold farmer issue. Players are annoyed at it, and i'm sure it affects their business in some way shape or form for the worse. It would be a good business move to get rid of them asap.

It's just that every time the developers find some way to deal a blow to the gold farmers, they just come crawling back like cockroaches. They are very resilient.

I never said there was an easy way to do it, i just said no one has thought of an easy way to do it.

If people where smart enough to make bots so uncontrollable, people are smart enough to stop them.  Im positive that whoever can create a bot/gold farmer defense that they would make tons of money protecting mmo's.

You said:

" just no one has really cared to think of a easy way to do it,"

The "no one has really cared to" gives off the impression that you're insinuating that the no one really cares about stopping the bots.

Often times it's easier to break something than to try and fix it. Take piracy for instance.

DRMs? No use.
PSP firmware? Yeaaaah...right.

Nintendo's r4 chip? Nt sure how you'd go about stopping that aside from kicking down every door, and grabbing the chip from the kid's dead, cold hands.

It's much easier said than done.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but while I was playing on pheonix throne tonight I received a few gold seller tells.. a few minutes later a message appeared on the screen with that person's name and a little IC message saying something about how he can be hunted down by players. I thought that was pretty funny. Seems like they're letting players go after gold sellers.
