Grumpy (the main dev) just posted in the in-game Announcements that automated skimming of the manual with scripts is a bannable offense. So there's that to keep in mind.

But how would they know? I mean, I guess if the manual was being opened to a hundred different pages by the same IP at the same time, I guess they could detect that, but otherwise, how would they know?

I'm betting "the manual was being opened to a hundred different pages by the same IP at the same time" is precisely what someone was doing.

Yeah, I can't imagine anyone doing such a thing. keldon posted:So using some questionable methods (scraping the item pages in the manual), I was able to find some arbitrage opportunities by buying an item cheap and selling it for more copper. Oftentimes this could be done without even having to travel. My best score was buying thousands of Cherry Logs in DF for 7, and selling them in a different store in DF for 9. I started the day with a few dozen copper, and now have over 18,000.

It's not too hard to look for those opportunities manually, there's not very many items that are bought/sold in large quantity. Herbs, vegetables, logs and ores come to mind (even if there's a lot of types of those). Plus, there's an API coming soon.

Also, we're at 1.86m guild exp now, and it's 7:40 PM, which is what... 40k in 9 hours during the day on a weekday? That's not bad.

Hahaha yeah, he messaged me to make sure I wasn't scripting (I'm manually checking the item list for arbitrage points; apparently I did 154 manual views in 20 minutes!) sooooooooo lol. I'm really, really hoping he finds out some high-level player's been autoclicking for months from this or something and some big ingame drama comes of it.

I was banned for being afk and just setting an alarm every hour, when I would just mash my finger on the screen till I saw a number. I wasn't reading chat where apparently he asked me if I was a bot (man, people not responding in an idle game). I had just hit rank 19 woodchopping too. Oh well. Guess I don't get to be a pretty magical lumberjack princess anymore. The devs and GMs in this game are out to get me.

I think they are on a witch hunt after finding someone scraping the man pages. Really if that is their bot check it would be trivial to have it make a sound on whisper and / or reply to them.

What did you think would happen if you do that too often? Still hope you manage to come back to the game, we all miss you

There's only something like 6700 users total that showed up in a wildcard search and something like 500 actually active users per week, so that's not that hard to do.

RabbitWizard posted:Every time you access a website the date/time, your IP and a lot of other stuff is saved to a file, giving info about what page you visited, when, to which page you went afterwards and so on. I did send an email explaining my side, however. Chances are they'll just ignore it. I didn't think they were anal enough about their capcha system to ban people who couldn't be bothered to read it. Hell, I didn't even know scripting was banned until reading meowth's post. I figured all the high up guilds were doing that 24/7. Edit: Yeah I'm glad I gave my snail bux away before being banned. At least they will go to use now.

What captcha are you even talking about that requires you to type? I haven't seen any captchas in this game, except for the ladybug/mushroom/etc. pictures.

Virigoth posted:The Grumpy has spoken, My appeal for 0x16 was denied. Holy gently caress, what the hell is wrong with the mods in this game? I don't understand why they'd ban Ox16 for something so mundane, especially since he actually paid for snailbux. Talk about an overreaction (from the mods and dev, not Ox16). Sorry Ox16, you blazed too hot and shined too brightly and got banned in an idle game, which I didn't even think was possible.

That's some bullshit but it's probably not worth arguing over because we're already on thin ice for coming in as Goons, Ruiner of Games in a way that will almost definitely shift the game economy/what little metagame there is and ruffle the feathers of people who are used to feeling like the big dogs.

Assuming you'd just be able to fail a captcha as many times as you want is stupid, but so is expecting people to be watching the chat on an idle game at all times.

Doublepost with a question, do timers just go down naturally as you level? I'm reading the mining manual page and it looks like a pick can get you -8 and other gear can get you -7. A lot of that can't be equipped until you're really deep in anyway. Mana regen doesn't seem to be anywhere near high enough to keep buffs up. People are talking about 20s timers and here I am with 50 seconds on everything, wondering how you're supposed to get there.

Yes. Every 3 levels reduces the time by 1. Also they are probably wearing blue clothes (timer reduction) and you should too. Spells and food also reduce timers. The 20 number comes from that being the minimum.
