GMS recently, and one thing I find a lot is people using bots to farm.
In KMS, there was a captcha challenge once every while to ensure that the person was not using a bot, and failure to complete the challenge would result in punishments like closing the game or sending the player to a certain room.
They just activate once every while, but there is also an option to purchase "lie detector" and use it on other players.
Well, bots already bypass the arrow inputs for runes, I can't imagine it would be a herculean task for them to bypass captchas as well.
I don't mean this to sound like doom and gloom "it won't help so why bother", but I'm sick to hell of all these "anti-bot measures" being added to the game that accomplish nothing beyond hindering and inconveniencing actual players while the bots just ignore every single bit of it. I'm reasonably certain that I'm not alone in feeling this way, too. (less)
So you want to bring back a derelict area that had essentially nothing in it worth going there for, that was ignored for years before it was ever blocked off, so people can spend roughly … (more)20 minutes per new character there? I don't see the logic in that.
All of this just reeks of a child being upset at their parents cleaning up scattered toys because they weren't done playing with them yet. (less)
And this is an event with clearly-stated effects and limitations. If it had any dastardly side-effects, you'd hear an ample amount of bitching from kms. Loosen up the tinfoil hat, fam.
