    Maybe the improvement of this feature could be one more stone to block the bot users , one of the plagues of this game.

    After this poll and the dev approval, A NON HUMAN PLAYER will not be able to enter a map automatically, at every change map with Teleport or by cities the loading screen map will require us to click on the correct image, so we will allowed to enter in the desidered map :
    AS example

    No, the idea sounds horrible (time consuming and not practical). For bots must be done something else...

    i have ZERO clue how common bot users are. i just don't have any idea. if they really are a problem, i don't mind typing in 4 letters to prevent them from being around. it's REALLY no a big deal to spend 3 seconds to keep them from cheating. something like having to solve a 16 piece puzzle each map sounds time consuming. lol. a few letters will only add moments to an hour of HARD grind on xp scroll for some or materi buff for lvl 55's already. i, for one, have no issue with this and i believe very will would mind it.


    EDIT: EVERY person that says no to this probably freakin uses bots. lol. mods! take note!

    I play on the ghost server so bots aren't much of an issue (as far as I know), but maybe it is on the servers where there are more than a few dozen people playing the game.

    Now if something like this could be done without adding more lag, brown/black screens, game freezes, game crashes, error messages, and a half dozen hot fixes, it might be worth it. Seems a little like punishing those of who play by rules, but if bots are a real problem, I would think that there would be better solutions. They have run scripts before and that seemed to work without requiring player interaction.

    However, rarely do the dev's bother with player ideas. If you really want something like this, you need to find a way for them to monetize it in order for them to take you seriously.

    I prefer a plague of bots to entering a captcha every time I change a map

    Great... Also add some pop-up ads to make your boss fighting "memorable" and we're done.

    No seriously, I have no idea of what kind of bots you are thinking of, but I'm sure those aren't the kind of bots used in DSO. :rolleyes:
    I'm sure the "bots" in DSO are the players who use programs to modify the game, altering/boosting their stats. And not an internet bot.:confused:

    The answer/vote collected until now are a true clear message of the game mechanism.
    Thanks admin, you can close the 3D.
