It's become more and more obvious to me as of
late that botting is the cheap and easy way for people
to mud now. That's very sad, since so many people
spend so much time on their zones, and the people for
whom it was created aren't even there to see it
sometimes. So I am on a one-woman mission to try to slow
(since it's impossible to stop, I'm sure) this bad
habit.<br><br>So how do we do it? Of course with dg scripts and
mob progs, it can be done. I personally have made
some simple scripts to knock people off course on the
main paths to certain zones, and have been scripting
mobs to do random nastiness to their victims, like
teleport them elsewhere or summon new mobs or simply sap
all of their mana so their bots keep recalling them
home when they can't heal...<br><br>Fun as it is to be
so devious and mean, I tire of it. I wonder if there
are any other ways to deter botting, and would like
to hear any thoughts from you kind folk as to new
scripts or code that can potentially be written in the
same spirit.<br><br>I almost feel as if my work,
although fun, is in vain for people who swoop in and level
up overnight while they aren't even sitting there.
Can someone please help end my
suffering?!<br><br>Thanks in advance for any
