Just an idea for what to do with scripters/cheaters/hackers

[Lord Chaos]

we as a community

A small part of the Stratics community is not the UO community.

That is way too vague and not an answer to the question. I'm asking you to be more specific on which scripts you think should be allowed, because I agree with what Phantus said that we as a community will never agree with scripting in general.

Which specific actions do you want to script? That's something we can discuss the merits of, not let "the community agrees are not harmful to the game." That statement really leaves nothing to discuss other than YES or NO.

this is starting to resemble a Senate hearing.

I've answered your question. it's not about what you or I want, it would be about what the playerbase approves of.

that's true.

cue up Connor with his "prove it, you can't" rant

I'm just asking what you consider to be a script worthy for EA/Mythic to consider to allow that is different than what we can already and legally do with macros. I'm asking a straight question for discussion, since you asked for it. I am part of the playerbase, so it IS (partially) about what I want.

But, you don't seem to be able to come up with anything, you are just playing the old politicians' trick of Dazzle 'em with BS. Do you have a specific example or are you just Trolling?

Since you seem to have all the answers, just how small a part is the Stratics community compared to the whole UO community that disagrees with cheating? I don't think it is as small as you want us to believe. If it's so small, give us some provable numbers rather than more fluffy air. Prove it, and I'll shut up about this point.... if you can't then please stop your

 

[Lord Chaos]

Its YOU making the claim that the community is behind this, so you are the one who has to prove it.

Everything proves that they're not, or there would be hundreds, if not thousands of posters on Stratics clamoring about cheating and praising these new changes. But there aren't.

Doesn't take a genius to figure out who the scripters/cheaters in the group are, now does it?

Maybe they should banish the account and all related accounts to a "cheater shard" you can never leave...that would remove the cheater's but also let them play/pay also.

They would lose everything and have to start over. Maybe they could lower the amount of resources and/or make things cost 10x more...im not sure, maybe im being to harsh...what do you think?

Well, if it only takes normal intelligence, then it doesn't speak well for your intelligence level.

Honestly, if you cannot grasp simple things, then I really don't believe you grasp the mechanics of a classic shard and as such your suggestions should be discarded as useless.

Or, as someone in some other thread suggested, just prevent players from being able to log in until they turn off the cheater proggy.

 

[kelmo]

That is quite enough.

Or, as someone in some other thread suggested, just prevent players from being able to log in until they turn off the cheater proggy.

This would be my hope. We don't want to stop people playing, we just want to stop them cheating.
