Is it illegal to put your skill in space bar and put like a weight to make it spam your skill for training? since it isnt using a program..

It is illegal. Some girl was whining about getting banned for it a week ago.

How would they know?

Yeah. It's, by their terms, "botting". There's no program doing your work for you, but yeah, GMs can't tell the difference.

Judging by the fact that you'd last about a minute without unlimited attack, it's either really stupid and not worth it or illegal.

botting using third party programs or physically is against the ToS

Meh, a lot of clerics go to Mp3 sit at the taxi and just hold down space while doing something else.. I know a friend who plvled from like 50-70 in a week doing that.

It breaks the ToS, that's for sure. Some chick was whining about it a week ago, I wouldn't suggest it.

NyteAngel said: "How would they know?" If you hold a skill down for a very long time (like, 100 in a row without stopping at all) then you will automatically stop casting it and a report will be sent to a GM, or something like that. Thats how they catch botters.

I did that but I was there pushing the same button and repotting for 2 hrs, and i got banned. I was pissed.But on the bright side i gained 8 lvls =]

What if you are at the keyboard and u hold it for 100 times... If ppl found a flaw in the game it should be there right to use it. Also Nexon fixed this w/ the 100 time thing so it doesn't help the player anyway. GM's should ban ppl that scam others for large amounts of my money over someone holding a button or putting a weight on it.

It doesn't matter. You can only repeat an action a few limited times before the game stops you. Just make a bot and get banned

nope, but it wont work if you totally afk, after about a min ur atks stop working.

OB3LISK 07/31/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

After 100 times of the same skill you'll be stopped from doing it (except Hurricane). Yes, if a GM sees you they will think you're botting and ban you, they do check.

that would only work if u have some kind of aoe skill. so bowmans and sins cannot do it even they wanted to. clerics and warriors can just use monsters to smack them back and forth so they can use the penny in keyboard method lmao
