' Wrote:OK i get it, but hell, makro doin' all the work for you takes exactly as much time as you doin' it yourself.
So what is precicely the problem even if somebody pulls that off? He did not do damage to other players, he only earned money 'the lazy way' but for other players it is exactly the same thing: he driving the route or makro doin' it for him.
How about same route detection? nobody has the nerves to drivbe same route (very long one that makes it worth while) more than five times, do if takeoff/landing has exac locations five times, busted. That doesn't sound difficult to write!
The problem is that you dont have to be at your computer for it to do the work for you, seriously I could write a simple macro to do my usual trading run in less than an hour....
So 1 hour to write - then I leave it running for 12 hours overnight (my trade route makes just off 30mil per/hour) so when I get up in the morning I have 12x30=360million extra credits to play with. Not really fair eh?
Oh and as for route detection? 2 issues with that, what if I have a day off work and just want to sit and trade for that battleship? Will I get banned after a certain amount of time dong it? And the second issue, when there are 200 players on the server keeping track of where they are just now and where they have been for the last x amount of minutes would put incredible strain on the server.
