RE: Auto-Shutdown
@inasad>>
hmm that is true, thank you for reminding me about such time constraints. Well perhaps 3 minutes is sensible. IMHO 1 minute is a bit too short.

yes, you can probably get away with it, but still as panda said: being able to get away with it does not mean you should do it.
furthermore, i haven't tried to bot heRO (and i have no urge to ever do so -no real goal for me, i don't even WOE), but i can believe that what you consider "easy" is not "easy" at all.
botters first have to learn how to log into heRO passing the preliminary checks and login processes.
after that the bot program have to "learn" the database and the numbers of the items and objects that it "sees". Just numbers, but they can really throw off how the bot config works. Just like how some un-updated clients "crash" when someone walks in with a new hat, but bot programs don't really crash, they just get loads of unidentifiable numbers and objects. You could try to manually input all the info, but again you need help to let the bot "see" these items and objects and "learn" them by recompiling after "seeing" those objects.
So yeah a GM with fancy colors and items would throw off bots, and aggro monsters with unique ID for bot checks will also ruin how the bot runs...
and while it is easy to identify the "gm" flag for gm chars on the screen (even when the gm is in "perfect hide") and tell the bot to log out for a set amount of time or to quit the program itself, it will create suspicion and GMs such as Ayu and Panda already know that these "mysterious" logouts are to be monitored and scrutinized.
so yeah i believe it is NOT "easy"...
however i do have a suggestion of sorts for the GM team; have someone who knows the ins and outs of botting (or do you already have one?) try to access heRO and try to outsmart the current bot-detection efforts. Of course you should monitor the items gained etc and delete chars and whole accounts if needs be to empty the kafra as to prevent corruption.
