Hi folks,
I´ve used the search function but was not successful.
With my unbelievable long experience in this game (5 hours B) )
its seems to me that it will be a paradise for macroers.
You can shortcut a lot of actions, windows pop up on the same spot.
And no, i dont know how to macro from abusing it in games, I
do automated software testing as a profession.
Ok all peeps in this game are quite nice so far but we all know
that there will be others sooner or later. I think some kind
of Macro protection is really necessary.
Imho Runescape did quite a good job there. (And god knows that
runescape is the mother of all repetitive tasks)
Randomly Runescape warped you to a variety of minigames which
only a human could solve. Ok it would completely destroy the atmosphere to be warped somewhere in xsyon but let me explain how it may be suitable.
1.You are sitting ingame while fishing. Then a message pops up.
"you catched a big one. Try to hook it" Then a sequence of keys is displayed and you have to press them in the right order.
If you do it correctly, you get the "big fish" if not then you are internally marked as "may be a bad macroer".
2.Its winter and you are scavenging on the scrapyard. A message pops up. "Your hand are frozen. Get them warm". Same keyprocedure as mentioned above accompanied by an animation were you blow in your hands and a appropriate sound.
Placing this dialog and the keys "somewhere" near the center not always in the same position will imho stop 95% of the usual macroers.
And its enough if such a dialog will pop up randomly once every 12 ingamehours. Since if you fail once, its a strong hint that you are macroing. It could be discussed how often you can retry before you get the internal "bad marker".
Best regards
Barney
