Using a badly configured (or badly written) browser add-on for blocking content.

Running a 'scraper' or 'downloader' program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection.

Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine.There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: There will always be bots, and it doesn't mean nobody cares and no one is doing anything.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests.

There will, therefore, always be bots in games where there is enough profit to be made to justify the effort and there will always be a contest between developers/moderators and botters that goes back and forth. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of those 'simple solutions' will also catch some number of real customers and, any gateway you can think of to make someone 'prove' they are a real player can eventually be figured out by someone programming the bot AI.ĪNY game that is multiplayer where players can trade with one another will have some type of economy that botters can exploit for RMT. There are people who like to pretend getting rid of bots is easy. Just because bots are in the game doesn't prove they aren't trying to do something about bots. What isn't accurate is to say bots were 'ignored'. So please stop pretending this isnt a huge issue because it is a VERY HUGE issue. Its already pissing alot of people off that bots steal Ores/plants and wood now they join dungeons aswell because we ignored them farming materials in the open world before. Because once boters see they get trough with it they go further. Hope you all have premade team.īots queing for dungeons of any kind or form is a serious problem and needs to be addressed even if it is content you can run solo. Wanna go solo there aswell ? Imagine an army of bots queing for everything and there is no way of getting a party with at least 1 bot in it.
