Scripts in PVP

Actually it is a fact. If Bioware could of done something about all the hacking and scripts they would have. You think they just refuse to fix the so called problem? No, it's called they don't know how.

Scripts do know what that button is, it's another damaging attack obviously and it's going to execute the skill faster than a human can. The bot will always execute it's next ability 1.5 seconds after the other so there's no delay between skills.

I guess you don't get it, it's like a big factory replacing a human worker with a machine because of work efficiency. The machine does it faster and with better quality.

It is a bit funny to me that you would post this...

There are only two people that I am 100% sure that they cheat. They are in the same guild.
I know this because they were trying to scrape up enough people to do ranked WZs and invited me.
I joined their voice chat and proceeded to hear one guy thank the other for helping him set up his hax.

Don't remember the names as it was a while ago, but...
I will never heal/buff/guard any one from THAT guild ever.
Their reputation to me was killed that day.

There have been people on my server banned for exploiting. I do see exploits, and then I see them (and people who use them) disappear. From that (and from the fact the game is overall playable and stable) I know BW is doing something - greatly many things - against the hacking and scripting.

What neither of us knows, and it would be very nice to hear more from BW, is how to they measure their success. I won't hold my breath on full details, because that would be a security and a business threat at once. But I bet they could tell us some juicy tidbits!

Banning is not equal to stopping the problem.


Success would be there no hacking going on in the game at all, you know like how many other MMO's have it.

I hear what you are saying about efficiency and human reaction. I think a factory is a very good analogy to what you describe.
Do you consider PvP to be a mundane, repeatable, on-rails activity like conveyor-belt actions factory workers perform? Or at least, can PvP be "industrialized" into a series of such rote actions?

Some people in this thread claim PvP is too complex for that. Others say it's possible. The Facebook page the OP linked said the script has horrible rotations and does not make good decisions (I can believe that). Do you think PvP can be industrialized?

I do not know of a single MMO without hacking. I know that some MMOs become undone by hacking, and others keep the problem under control enough to remain stable overall. I consider SWTOR to be in the second category. Do you know of a MMO without hacking?

You are misquoting what was said on facebook, wether deliberately or innocently I dont know. What he said was that the base script had horrible rotations and did not make good decisions, but it could be easily modified and that in the hands of a good player who was able to do most of their own work but run it in the background it would make them unstoppable.

Of all the MMO's i've played this is the only one i've seen where people are hacking or cheating in a stupid large amount.

Knew people that would bot level in WoW and that's about it. Otherwise no other MMO has had people be so blatant about it.

Thank you for these details. I quoted the parts I thought relevant and factual (horrible rotations, bad decisions), so it was a deliberate choice. A good player disliked the script as it was, I thought.

People claim programming this or that is easy, then "this or that" turns out to be vaporware. I do not know if the claim the script could be modified in that way, easily, is true or not. Because it's very easy to underestimate how hard programming something would be.

Anyway, that script does not seem to do those things from the original post:
I am looking forward to learning more.
