Frozen Without Human Check!

So, I'm hunting the bounty list. Haven't gotten the human check once today, but I've been somewhat distracted, hunting intermittently instead of continuously.

I get a few, and I'm feeling pretty good, get a 4th, and when I click bounty again.... BAM I'm frozen.

There were no human checks for me to make, so why was I frozen?

 

irregular play perhaps.....

perhaps it wasnt cause of gameplay

perhaps it was something else

 

Such as what? Another round of crybabies saying I made real world threats, yet having no proof to back up their libelous claims?

If that were the case I'd expect it on a weekday. but on a weekend, it stinks of something else.

and of course it happened on a weekend, so there won't even be any correspondence until Monday.

 

And, monday has come and gone. And no response from Kano.

Well I'm definitely going to re-think my policy of buying Favor Points.
With the money I've given Kano in the past year, you'd think they could be bothered to at least reply as to the reason why.

Or is Colombus Day a big holiday in Vancouver?

 

who knows...

i aint seen devs on lately

 

Looks like you tripped off a threshold for the automation detection system.

This weekend was a long weekend, so the Kano office was pretty quiet.

 

Yeah I was informed at halftime that today is Canadian Thanksgiving.

Still, this was immediately after I claimed a bounty. I got the bounty, clicked bounty again to refresh the list... and on that click, I was frozen.
The automation might want to give some leeway when it comes to the bounty list, either healing while on it, or hunting it.


Kendall maybe you can answer a question I've sent to support three different times without getting an answer to.
What exactly constitutes automation?
To me, Automation botting and scripts are all the same thing, a program or other software that makes the mouse clicks for you without need of any human component.

I ask because I have a gaming system. My desktop is set up for gaming, I've invested a pretty penny into it. Not just the 3GB triple output videocard, but even my keyboard and mouse are specifically designed for gaming. I don't have the standard 2 button 1 wheel mouse.
My mouse has several features for gaming, including autofire clicking that gives around 300 clicks per second, auto recall, (set the mouse over a point and hold down palm button for 2 seconds, then anytime I press the palm button for less than 2 seconds the mouse instantly goes back to that point on the screen) 2 right click and 2 left click buttons. I do not use 3rd party software to play, just Google Chrome web browser.

Does my system constitute automation? If so, where on the ToS does it state the maximum system resources that may be used on the game?

Or at the very least, what do I need to show to Kano so that my account won't be getting frozen in the future?

Yes I have several strategies I've pointed out on these forums before, that are unorthodox, yet legal that I use to gain an advantage. Using two computers at one time for instance. I find that one an excellent counter for some individuals ambush bots.... well I say bot, only because their ambushes come at exactly 1.5 second intervals consistently. Or even using my laptop where I can simply tap two places on the screen constantly to get an edge up.

Should I be penalized simply because I have invested in my electronics, or for thinking creatively within the boundaries of the ToS as it is written? How is that any different than the $20 a week I've sent to Kano for UN/Favor points for over a year now? Minus the fact that my hardware serves more purposes than simply a single game where as Favor points aren't even cross game.

 

so ur basically sayin that ur mouse acts as a bot in so many wonderful words huh? lol

 

Gotta hate those Supermouses... They're so insane lmao

 

In the immortal words of my 2 favorite mice...." whatta we gonna do today brain?" "Today Pinky....were gonna take over the world!" LOL

BRB....on my way to the electronics store

 

The mouse is ment for MMORPGs. but it's features still work for less sophisticated games.

But that is the question. Is my mouse considered Automation because I can hold down a button instead of having to click frantically?
Or because I can press down with my palm instead of whippiong the mouse over?

Hardware doesn't play the game for me. It's still dependant upon a human at the controls. It's not like my mouse is going to click and move on it's own.
every action is initiated and executed by user control, it just shaves a few split seconds off my actions.

 

My guess would be that Kano probably frowns on the use of a mouse like yours but I dont think that there would be a way to prove someone was using one(unless they admitted it of course) ....so im guessing thats why its not in the TOS. I highly doubt using a suped up video card makes a diff to them as all pc builds are far from the same . With that said....I wouldnt be surprised one bit if u continued to get frozen from time to time due to your above average speeds tripping their software, just the price ya gotta pay for being super human I guess. they cant not aim their software at you simply because u or anyone else says they r using equipment such as yours or it could open the game up to the potential use of automation.

 

Depends on the mouse, but if it is hotlinking links and works on autofire then that is not allowed. Basically if your mouse is performing actions on your behalf that is automation.
