He's not saying anything that hasn't either been posted before in the context of pure speculation, or "I talked to a former GM..."
This is all very generic information that anyone who has been around HB for any length of time is already aware of, or has heard before, or suspects in some way. We all know that GM's can and do watch players. We know that their system can log our keystrokes, mouse clicks and time spent doing anything within the confines of the game client. Posting it again isn't going to hurt HB in their lawsuit with Blizzard. Non of us work for HB, and none of what is posted on the forums is subject to litigation beyond the fact that HB is against the TOS.
We all know the risks.
Bot on!
This is the kind of post that doesn't belong on these forums. The HB team is already being sued by Blizz, and having information like this on the forums is bad for business.
The last think the HB team needs is confidential information on these forums. You don't have permission to post this and the person that told you most definitely didn't have permission to tell you any of it.
With that being said, I don't believe a word of it and you should stop looking for attention on these forums.
This is correct! They sign a contract not to talk about ANY of that stuff. But he really did tell me any way. Also Im not trying to be a smart ass, Im just telling u guys what he said. Im not claming to be some "under-cover, cool-dude", Im just trying to be helpfull.
Ill ask him when he gets back on skype.
U wanna know like how they react when a report is placed on a player if I undestand u correctly? Like, what is to be done with an reported player?
Some people seem to put GMs on a platform of being some kind of holier than thou purest of the pure people. The fact is they are paid little more than the minimum wage, mainly deailing with complaints about people accidentally deleting their items or posting "anal" comments in chat. You can call me a bullshitter too, but I used to play minecraft, and played with a girl I regularly chatted to on vent who was a GM, and loved multiboxing. I didn't dare mention that I botted, as she knew my real name, and wasn't sure how she'd take it, and I didn't probe too much, but she was pretty happy to talk about GMing in general. Just cos they signed a contract, doesn't mean they'll stay tight lipped forever.
Whats the most commen way to detect botting: "Besides real hacks? Using the same keystrokes over and over. Like a rutine being used the same way over and over. This is something Warden does"
Im gonna call this bullshit. For one whenever a person leaves a positions like this they cannot speak of it. Whenever they are first hired they have to fill out paperwork because its confidential information on how they detect botters. If you did indeed speak to a GM which is possible in real world I doubt that they would talk about it because the chance of being hit with a lawsuit would be substantial!
[/B]in case anyone is wondering we dont send keys to cast spells. most games everytime the frame updates, it checks for button presses and if say "1" is pushed. then the code for "Cast Heal" is done, since we inject into the client we can just call the code to cast heal without the keypress.
now, please keep this thread civil it could easily descend into madness and if i start getting reports about it, it will be closed.
