1497 Tibia accounts have been detected using unofficial software to play during the last couple of weeks. These accounts have been deleted today.
2 day ago I said in shoutbox that I predicted it would happen within 2 days. Looks like I was right. I'm working on a theory, so bare with me :P
Who got hit?
172 RP - Fine
29 K (Main testing account) - Fine
70 ED / 94 RP - Fine
101 EK - Fine
I use it on all of these accounts, I'll assume my others are fine since I don't use it on them.
For those who got banned:- Did you ever try to walk while the cavebot was trying to walker, causing weird "step wars" between you and the bot? If so, how often?
- Were you injected during any of the "mini-patches"?
- How many clients did you run at once?
- What scripts did you use?
- In healing, did you make sure to have the range set in your configurations for randomization, or was it always instant?
- Did you ever use any of the combo options on these accounts?
- Did you ever mention botting in-game?
- Did you keep distance from creatures or follow them?
- What's your timezone and average playing times
Based on what I've seen, we have about 4 valid looking reports. While that can be very bad, it has to be compared to the number of users. We have roughly 200 unique users per day and roughly 400 unique users per 3 days. With the numbers given now, the math still boils down to 99% undetectable. Also, it seems that the bans arent distributed widely amongst users, but amongst a small group of user's accounts. What I mean by this is that maybe only 1/100 people get banned, but that one person gets banned on 3 accounts. The reasons for this could be as follows:- Timing - Could just be because the user's timezone was the most vulnerable to the detections.
- Usage - Could have to do with the players usage style. For instance, auto healing with exact intervals for hours on end is very easy to detect.
- Luck - You could simple be one very unlucky person.
- Scripts - One script might have a combination of actions which, when used together, can cause weird, detectable behaviour. It is common that multiple inputs produce unpredictable actions in systems such as these.
I'm going to be studying the recent bans to find a "common denominator," so to speak. The more I know the safer we can all be.
