Default Nodiatis Anti-Bot Checks

We will soon be beginning a security check to ensure that players are not botting and/or using forms of automation. Players who are not botting do not need to worry about the check interfering with their normal play. Players can still minimize the game or leave the room while fights are finishing without fear of being accused of botting. Players are even allowed to use whatever macro programs they want to in order to perform simple, multiple actions as long as they are initiating those actions. However, if your screen is flashing bright yellow and there is a huge message in your face instructing you to perform a certain action and yet you continue to keep clicking the same spots on the screen over and over like a mindless robot trying to initiate new fights then it will be obvious that there is not a human controlling those actions and your account will be in jeopardy.

These security checks will be extremely rare on purpose and may vary in appearance to prevent botters from being able to detect them.

To reiterate: Normal players and players using simple macros for mundane tasks such as hotkeying do not need to change their gameplay. As long as you are not automating fight after fight then you will likely never even see these security checks in your Nodiatis lifetime.

If it is a flashing screen and a generic message that is recieved a well made macro can detect that. using image detection and a timed check if a random flash happens and keeps happening.

Lets hope it won't be annoying and it won't be the same captcha used to signup. Cause that is pretty pointless. Botters usually stay ahead and all the 'measures' just annoy the masses.

You can fall asleep, you can leave during fights, you can play like normal without any fear. Unless your character keeps clicking buttons while you're asleep or gone you're fine.

Exclamation

Would like to honestly thank Glitchless for putting in the effort and time to clean up some of these botters, this is a subject that has been on my mind for the last couple months, I'm very appreciative of these actions taken by Glitchless, I was growing tired of watching botters climbing the tops list, leaving Legit players in the dust, 1 down - at least 5 more botters that I know of to go.

If anyone doesn't believe Seletchi was botting, your wrong.

same can be said 3 people farm on 1 account ... but thats an endless discussion, cause it's pretty stupid to forbid man/wife to play the same char, while they both enjoy the game and pay for it, etc ... My point is: who cares about the toplists? It doesn't affect anyone. But an ever increasing tc price affects everyone.

Besides about your toplists statement: i just took a look at first 50, and i really can't see that i see any unusual/crazy things (besides you :P) Most of the people are around for a long time and seems to be there ever since.

No you all in a sudden act like the conscience of nodiatis, thats all. And the problem ain't so black and white as you put it.

I don't see what sounds dramatic and angry in my post though
