  1. Re:Blizzard is doing a lot of damage to the indust on Judge Rules WoW Bot Violates DMCA · · Score: 0

    What if I paid someone to "bot" for me at the gym while I watched _her_ workout. Would the gym ban me for "botting" even if I paid for her account.. err.. membership? Imagine how much I'd get done if I had someone go to the gym FOR me!

  2. Re:Fix the graphics! on "Live Expansion" Announced for Warhammer Online · · Score: 0

    Exactly. The graphics requirements should be read as "FPS requirements" since visually the game doesn't get better as your machine specs improve. It just makes it more playable, which is a really bad way to be viewed. Trust me, I was one of the hopefuls that this was going to be the WoW killer. Fortunately they still have the capital to keep developing and hopefully they will wake up and take note of the graphics complaints and rewrite some code. Here's to hoping.

  3. Fix the graphics! on "Live Expansion" Announced for Warhammer Online · · Score: 1

    Instead of expanding they need to address the major graphics requirement issue. You need a serious PC to run this game at even minimal settings. If they expect to gain more subscriptions, then they need to widen their gamer pool by allowing lower end PCs to run this game. Putting out expansions is nice to maintain subscriptions, but they should focus more at making the game more PC friendly for aging computers to continue to grow their customer base.

    Clearly they need more money for advertising.

  5. MMOGlider on BotPrize — A Turing Test For Bots · · Score: 0

    It's like trying to determine if someone is botting in World of Warcraft. Until you actually use the bot itself, the characteristics that make it stick out are not that prevalent. They should judge these things with experienced gamers, not experienced bot makers. Sometimes the things that a bot does that are "bot like" are not important enough to stand out to the average gamer.

  8. Re:TFS Is Wrong About the EVE Exploit on Left 4 Dead Bug Patched Quickly, EVE Exploit Takes 4 Years · · Score: 0

    Being able to control the amount of final product in an economy directly translates into money. The fact that you can create the final product faster, cheaper, and in more quantity allows you to directly affect the market value of the final product and any other items that require the final product to be manufactured. If you control the market on a certain item, you can set the price. Even people who were making the final product legitimately were probably being bought out immediately so that the main suppliers remained dominant in that aspect of the market. So yeah, it may not be directly printing money, but just as good.

    Awesome! Time to fire up MMOGlider again and bot me some well equipped characters even faster!

    Maybe idiots are in season for hunting and he had his permit. I wouldn't worry though, because he probably has to take a female (doe) first, so luckily for these losers there wasn't one in their herd. In fact, they probably NEVER have women around them, ever.
