MapleStory Bots Solution

LISTENPLS

The bots have completely messed up interactive server’s balance, but there is still a way to save the game:

1. Set a daily mesos farming cap – this will limit the insane inflation caused by bots and multi-client accounts.
2. Increase the value of boss crystals – this compensates for the reduced income from the daily gold cap.
3. Make event cubes untradeable for 30 days after use – this would drastically reduce the impact gold-farming studios have on the interactive server.

I know you guys don’t currently have the ability to fully handle VMs and multi-account botting, but this approach works. KMS did the same thing, and the market feedback proves it was the right call.

It’s frustrating to watch MapleStory get ruined by gold-farming studios while simple, proven solutions are ignored. Please take action before the game’s economy collapses completely.

Note: this can only applies to interactive servers, Heroic servers can remain unchanged.

1 - would limit time people have in the game, they won't do this.
2 - this needs to happen as we can't even sf
3 - they are going to do this with gear in a patch coming up

The better thing to do would be to eyeball all the github repos that make these bots or ai plays maplestory. Add their exe, process names, & other recognizers to the anti cheat detection & ban these accounts.

1- Tbh i don’t think so, because even reaching the daily cap would still require at least 4–6 hours of farming (and I’m only talking about Interactive servers). Anyone consistently playing more than that every single day is probably not a normal player. Sure, some people might occasionally grind longer, but realistically, very few people are spending 6+ hours every day just farming mesos in this game.

Also, is total playtime really that important to them? Their financial reports don’t seem to suggest that player online hours are a major metric anyway.

I heard they already cut down their team size, so this probably isn’t even possible anymore. I remember a few years ago they even had GMs who would teleport players into a specific map and question them one-on-one lol.

Best solution take down botting websites.

If the GMS team really doesn’t care whether the game lives or dies, then I guess I’ll just end up sharing a free VM AFK bot tool.
If people are still suffering from this kind of unfairness, then might as well let everyone start botting—only then would it be “fair.”

4. Remove star spec box cap but make items untradeable to allow actual players to get stronger without abuse.
5. Remove perfect innocence scroll to limit bot farm cubes on items with scissor counts so karma brights cannot be abused to easily

No.

No.

You clearly have no idea how bad botting is right now. Do you even realize how worthless gear prices have become? Obviously you don’t. I’ve got tons of real evidence and how they’re destroying the market. They make your effort completely worthless.

I know. The "No is letting everyone bot to combat botting and worthless items.

So your counter to the bot problem being bad is to advertise for the bot seller and also advocate that everyone else should just use bots?
Look in the mirror buddy, you're part of the problem.
