Stay Safe while Botting

Just the other day, NCSoft banned many botters using Chinese bots on the western servers. These bots use packet sending, that ends up being more easily detectable to NCSoft. Keep in mind, Gameguard doesn’t even have to be active for NCSoft to detect those sorts of bots. AionGlider does not send packets, which makes it considerably safer. We are always monitoring the goings on, and if there is ever a security risk we will immediately take our bot offline. As long as packet sending Aion bots exist, NCSoft will most likely keep targeting them and ignore bots like AionGlider. Most chinese bots are designed by large companies that are only concerned with selling a product, not about your account’s safety.

A few tips while botting:

• Do not bot for 24h at a time – NCSoft logs how long you have been connected to the server
• Participate in chat occasionally
• Make long, sprawling bot paths
• Make a chat tab in the game for whispers, and local chat
• Make paths away from towns and player infested areas
• If you can handle it, do a few quests occasionally

It’s still quite safe to bot, as long as you bot following some of the guidelines above. I have yet to receive a single whisper relating to botting, and have been doing so since launch day.
