Dofus news

Here are a few ways Ankama could eliminate bots. Rant, rave and give feedback...

1) Make new accounts require a phone verification. Limit say, 2 accounts per number. The bot owners, seeing how there are hundreds/thousands on each server would have to spend $20 (minimum) on prepaid cellphones to authorize the account per TWO accounts. They would take a HUGE loss and would have to up their prices assuming they went through the trouble of buying the phones, etc. This would hinder the small % of players who have more than 2 p2p accounts but that can be sidestepped by using a home and cell for verification.

2) Place a random button at the beginning of battles. Random mind you, say a 1 in 50 chance. If the button isn't clicked in the time frame, account receives a warning (behind the scenes). After so many, the account gets banned. This would only be for initiating a fight, not being attacked - so AFK players don't get caught up in being, well... AFK.

3) Limit the number of accounts per IP address. This would screw them up hardcore as I can tell you they have anywhere from 15-20+ accounts being ran on one machine thus one IP address. I use a crappy laptop for dofus and have 8 accounts opened (2 p2p, 6 f2p) when I farm mats outside of Astrub and this laptop is really crappy.

There are other ways I can name but people don't seem to understand that no matter what they say, Ankama will never get rid of the bots. Not for lack of resources but they require the bots to maintain server population for active players. The economy relies on this as well. You never know, Ankama could have their own kamas selling website and you would never know...
