Orighty, I know this is a mother of all necros but since this subject seems relevant again I wasn’t arsed to start a new thread as I think this is less spammy way of doing it.
Due kicking already being tough as hell because of people being in desperate need of either optician or neurologist (I mean something must be wrong with ones brain if they cant find pgup/pgdown even when told precisely where they are located?) I wanted to raise the awareness of the subject a bit for people who seem to be unable to grasp the concept.
Confirmedly encountered one of these again today, and judging from the amount of players who go less than 10xp in total during an entire SW / Obj match there is a surge of these again around.
Why would someone make a farming bot you ask? @FrostyVampire specifically. The in-game chat is definitely wrong medium to give answers to that, so here goes.
For the starters, anyone who remembers their sub-lvl10 times knows how seemingly massive task gaining credits for buying a merc is. As credits in the game are gained through somewhat solid 12/minute rate, all you really need to do is to be on a server without even really contributing. Win and topscore bonuses are present sure, but think about it; you play during your free time normally, possibly getting those bonuses every now and then and leave the account farm over night, you can increase your credit gains massively without bloating your XP that much.
Hit the bot on Skyhammer / Arty and make it spam ammo packs every now and then; you even add XP to that equation with zero effort. Now you have a throwaway account to either
A) play yourself with full merc roster and possibly levels to join lvl10+ servers and whatnot,
b) sell the account away with the bonuses mentioned at phase A.
Its exactly the deal some script kiddies could kill for. You have sort of “legitimacy” in eyes of some players due slightly higher level; “Naah come on the guy is lvl20+ why would he use cheats” or you have faster access to full merc selection.
So all in all, please for crying out loud do everyone a favour and kick out the fella moving randomly in first spawn, staring ground/walls and doing nothing. Or “that guy” wandering randomly around the map and when encountering an enemy doesn’t fire a single shot at them, just dies continually. They are either bots or people who should not be allowed near FPS games (sub 10 year olds, people learning WASD and whatnot) so you’re doing even themselves a favour when giving them the boot.
