Preventing Account Farming and Exploits

What are you talking about? What about RNG games? And whos accusing developers? I havent seen anyone here claim that the developers of those games are the ones responsible for the bot issue.

And you took that guy’s thought on the whole issue and assumed everyone else got the same opinion?

This botting situation has gotten diabolical now in all honesty. Every single top game /experience/ whatever you want to call it, in every genre, is experiencing this right now. Talk about “AI” haha when this happens…

no, but saying it is entirely botted isn’t really true as it is still top earning. I am not defending them, just defending these games on this point

Yes, if you open the server list there is a super high chance you see one or even multiple.

I theorise the reason you seldom see those players is because they occupy servers as soon as possible, leaving no slots for human players to notice.

As much as I love to see this, I have high doubts about it. I have a feeling that this will stop a big portion of bot accounts, but it won’t stop all. Hyperion was launched 2 years ago (wow, 2024 went by quickly), and yet there are still exploiters rampant in a lot of front-page games.

I am also highly skeptical as to whether the AI would actually work, or if it would give mostly false positives (as we have seen before).

I understand removing entirely automated accounts, but will this impact games with macro communities? For example, games like Bee Swarm Simulator have massive communities of people that macro in game to progress. It’s practically required to reach endgame content and macros are entirely allowed by the creator. I think that removing the ability to Macro would severely hurt games like BSS.

Creators are not safe or able to provide adequate safety with our current tools (which are little to none), so I welcome new change, but also would like to see back changes as well. A requested change in the ban API is so incredibly nontrivial yet the safety effect and reliability of it for creators would dramatically increase - and the time for us needing to implement this API is now.

Tbh I see where you’re getting at, I think their main objective is to combat competitive games to make sure everyone has a fair experience, but I’m guessing it would impact games with macro communities the same way it does with every other experience.
