Actually - having seen the transcripts for a few autoclickers - the most complex being one that would:


Buff you , go to a mission terminal, choose two Janta missions, go to said Janta mission (after calling your swoop), blow up said janta lair, get on bike, go to next one - blow that up, return to the mission term, take two more - repeat for three hours (while taking food buffs), rebuff you, go to mission terminal and repeat.


I would assume that there arepeople are using autoclickers to gain an unfair advantage. You only needed to grind a certain template and you'd make 1 mill an hour totally afk and all you'd need to do would be check the buffs you had on you once a day and your armour/weapons and you'd be fine.


From seeing this - I would assume people would use every cheat/exploit and little bit they could to gain - avarice is a common human flaw. Thank God most of them aren't good enough coders to run more complicated scripts.


I've not really mentioned them because I don't like the thought of third party programs, but... if you don't believe me, pm me your email and I'll send you a copy of the solo group one (since that's been nerfed partially). Then you can say publicly people have a right to be pissed off about third party.

Excellent post, I agree 100% with what you're saying here. First off I think AFK camping is indeed lame. It requires no skill, thought, or work other than geting one good weapon, and writing a working macro. But the worst part is that everyone who is complaining about AFK campers at Nyax or other placesjust seem to want to take the same easy way toget thingsthat these AFK campers are taking, and for the most part just sound jealous that they can't do the same thing to easily get what they want.


There are other ways to get the things you want, yes they require work, yes they require more time than just standing in one spot and killing the same NPC over an over utill you find what you're looking for. But with the exception of a few players who get lucky on their exceptional weapons most of the players who can out damage you and beat you to the kill have either put work into getting the components to make their own uber weapons/armor/modded clothes, or put work into getting the credits to buy such things. I have been playing since launch and have aquired a great many things including excellent weapons, armor, and Modded Clothes, but I did it all by going out and hunting, killing Nightsisters, Aakuans, Stormtroopers, running the Geo Cave and Corvette, and not just AFK camping these places or kill stealing. If your looking for an easy way to get what you want then you have no right to complain about those doing the same thing. My advice to those who whine about campers is to don't aspire to become one, invest some time and effort and go beat them at their own game, or find another way to get what you want, it may not be the fastest or easiest way but at least it's honest and that seems to be what you're all complaining about in the first place.

No communist reference this time.....hmmm. Too bad.


I can't believe you actually assume that I am unintelligent, a whiner, or anything short of a community veteran and player. It is simply pathetic that you try to communicate your dislike of the idea that someone would find your tactics untasteful or sportsmanlike, but lack the appropriate commuication skills, soyou have to make up rediculous ideas, like linking communism with a desire to have fair gameplay. Just read a book, spend some time perhaps learning instead of pounding your head with a brick and then move back hereandstart making sense - no need to sound like a complete idiot simply because you dont have the ability to climb past yourlimited IQ.


Did I say that slow enough for you? Would you like me to use some visual aids?

Keep in mind that it is a game. Everyone can win a game. But also everyone can exploit a game. It is hilarious to see people compare this GAME to real life. You obviously must be one of those on the winning end of exploits like that. Your time is short though. More and more people and following those footsteps. Soon those exploits will not be exploits anymore. They will be how you succeed in general. I have seen it happen to all of the Command and Conquer series. Now those games are not supported. They are offline. EA would not support them anymore because of the massive complaints, and loss of sales.
