That moment when...

That moment when you join random public hmx room and find out that 90% of the room are using a.f.k bot macro for farm the event
Only shows the face of this community and how immature it is
And yet z8games GM's doing absolutely none against occurrences like this

  • Actually this is reportable. If you were to report them with the replay they'd get some form of ban. Can't remember if the first offense is temporary or perm or not as a good few of these types of users usually just make a new account with very similar names to the one that gets banned.

    But yea I've reported a handful of them awhile back for it and had it go through and Zyko/izDupree has reported tons in his tenure of HMX playing.

    Though it would in fact be nice to see some kind of fix to the situation in another route. Perhaps with something like what the updated Mejico map uses with the anti-afk feature where if you sit in the base areas too long you begin receiving damage.....if they implemented a spawn point that you had to leave from to enter the normal map and couldn't return to and then made it so if you die from that 3 times in a match you get auto-kicked out of the match then that could at least help a bit...or they'd just adjust to that as well somehow....

    It's practically an arms race, if they do that, then Botters will just set it up so they walk out of the spawn and have their merry time.
    If they do anything to stop it one way, folks are very likely to find workarounds, laziness breeds ingenuity, as they say.

    Overall, all you really can do right now is follow Zals advice and report em'.
  • I dont get it... you cry over a few "botters" in game? They dont kill you from under map, using aimbot hack.

    well usually I see maybe 1 or 2 botters in a room ,but this time it was excessive there were like 13 botters out of 16 players in every hmx room
    and this thread is more about this childish community "event farming with invalid ways" rather than "people being a.f.k"

    and there is nowhere "crying" in this thread - I'm pretty sure you switching words here - maybe you protect those "botters" because you use macros yourself or farm event yourself?or both?

    but yes your logic is gold - lets all hack in zm since it doesn't "hurt" anyone ,right?and lets all event farm with macros -like who cares,it doesn't hurt any one right? =/
  • Why even play the game if they afk? Is it that important to get crates for a chance to gamble for some pretty pixels? It seems like so.

    Tell me where is that room with 13 a.f.k-ers, cuz i wanna "farm" them. :) Sitting targets=easy win! And no, i'm sorry to dissapoint you, but i dont use macros/hacks.
  • Personally, i don't mind them.

    Because they actually don't harm anyone at all and are instead doing the opposite.

    But it is still against the rules to use macros to afk bot, so if you see them then you should just report them if you have the time for it.
  • as many of the players have said here, you can always report those who use macros to bot.
  • Bans are not permanent. Atleast not when the user's getting banned the first time for AFK botting. I had someone banned before for 30 days and they lost HSR
