I’m glad the Halloween update is going to solve this massive, game breaking issue instead of giving a solution to the constant ganking and framerate issues.
: /
EDIT: It’s a little unfair to say that, seems like there will be solutions to these things in the halloween update. I just really don’t see why macros are such an issue that they need to be made bannable…
It says fishing macro but will all macros be bannable or only fishing macros? What if I want to hotkey something, since that’s not an in game feature, it’s a macro.
vetex just added some more infamy measures, and memory leak patches are planned for this update. don’t whine before you inform yourself

How are you supposed to prove someone’s afk fishing?
i guess poke them a few times and if they dont react then they afk fishing
For Real.
What if I’m fishing with a tiny tab on the corner while watching YouTube? I’ll probably react when I die but that’s it.
Maybe they don’t care?
Who says exploiters don’t make something that checks if people are nearby and then teleports to a certain area, afk fishes until someone comes near them then leaves and goes to another server? I’m just saying all this is doing is fucking over legitimate players, exploiters will take over the sunken market.
…Wait how are you fishing if you can barely see or hear when a fish bites. Surely getting attacked is a lot more obvious than shockwaves in the ocean then an exclamation mark right?
Because exploiters are obvious while macros are nearly impossible for the game to detect
I mean I’m no game dev, but it sounds at least detectable to see a player go from one side of the map to another rather than a player having slightly less fail rate in fishing than others. While you can ban an exploiter with any good video or other type of proof, macro fishers are just people being consistent and not reacting when interacted with.
Watch it’ll happen then i’ll come back to this post and it will be the first clown emoji I ever send.
Idk, I don’t fish, that’s just what I do for other afk mechanics in games.
…Uh for my defense before it’s too late, I just wanna state that I clearly believe it can and probably will happen, but even then it would be much slower (if the exploiter uses the normal unmodified fishing method) and extremely rare. I mean you also need to level up your exploiter file to a certain level to get the items you want, THEN start fishing with high risk of getting caught, all that for a much worse macro.
At this point just fish far above the ocean, why bother with the land.
An exploit can be made impossible to detect because of FilteringEnabled. Any changes a client makes aren’t seen by the server, so if someone say inserted an autofish script there would be no way to tell they had - anything that could tell it was there could just be deleted by the client.
A macro on the other hand is usually somewhat detectable. The time you have to reel for is variable, so macros can end up in a long cycle of cast/reel spam because they’re clicking when the fish has already been caught.
yes pog lets go
Isn’t it just free guild infamy for you :V
