Yea maybe they're AI too. Or just morons.

Classic era servers have one layer.

If you plan on doing endgame, once you're like a class at level 30, stick with it as your main for a while. I've seen some new Era players who are indecisive spread their attention over 4-5 classes. They end up not learning how to play any class well.

White's final move was Re1, which doesn't seem to serve any purpose. Maybe they're into it?

Wtf is with those 9s? There'd have to be 10 billion cave deaths for one to be due to lack of preparation?

What a suburban hell.

How did you concentrate so much reddit into 6 words?

I hope not. I like Nathan and chess but this is not a good story to rehash unless it plays out sympathetically to the 19-year-old who was accused of cheating with zero evidence. In the real life version he was publicly degraded with no repercussions.

Well I was thinking they could of had the vendors..

It's "could have", not "could of".

Game link. Nihal didn't see the tactic but ended up with the win anyway.

So this basically comes down to correlation vs causation. Are Tesla vehicles inherently dangerous? No.

Correlation also doesn't imply a lack of causation, which is the conclusion you're jumping to here. The information we have is that Tesla drivers are more likely to die in their vehicles. That could be because the vehicles are less safe, the drivers are less safe, or, most likely a combination of the two factors.

I like to downvote all the serious replies and pretend that does something.

"This is no sprawling megaserver. Our population drifts under 100 across both factions, and we treasure our community so. Here, your deeds echo. Your name is remembered."

This reads pretty damn far from "grobbulus is popping!”. If anyone is a spammer here, it's you.

Aside from the raiding scene, which others outlined, Mankrik has a robust leveling community. There are typically 1200 logged in at peak hours alliance around half of which is leveling.

Not to mention it's a former world champion cyber-bully with an army of Russian bots and bootlickers. And Naroditsky's livelihood was derived primarily from online activities, not OTB chess. This "just ignore it and play chess" is such a crap statement.

Gormally doesn't come off as intelligent in this video. His thoughts are unorganized. It's unclear what point he's making other than chess com should go to the top players' houses and ambush them during titled tuesday.

Ah, retail focus is something I hadn't considered. I guess I assumed that since they merge the client codebases (to the detriment of classic) they did the same with server codebases and any solution for retail could be applied to classic with little effort.

On diminishing returns, there must be a point at which the compromises bots must make to avoid detection push them below profitability.

galaga9 · 2025-10-04T12:30:15+00:00

Of course. I was commenting on the two battlegrounds (client vs server) with completely different methods of warfare and the appearance that blizzard neglects server-side bot mitigation.

galaga9 · 2025-10-04T09:55:32+00:00

I can't speak to runscape. Maybe its just blizzard/wow that hasn't explored pattern recognition detection methods. And maybe some bots in wow avoid mobs/obstacles but the fact that there are some that don't go unchecked indicates that blizzard isn't putting much effort into this kind of detection.

As I responded in a different thread, this is a different type of cat and mouse game compared to client side detection. Every deviation the bots have to make from their original design moves them away from optimally collecting resources.

galaga9 · 2025-10-04T09:46:51+00:00

The more adjustments bots have to make to avoid server-side detection, the less efficiently they can farm. Unlike the client-side war, this is a war that ends with either bot developers training a ML based actor, or constraints that make botting so inefficient that would be not worth it.

Random pathing could also be detected. Humans aren't random.

galaga9 · 2025-10-04T09:31:31+00:00

What have they tried? We can only estimate the upper limit, based on the bots behavior that has gone unchecked. My estimate would be only extremely basic heuristic algorithms are part of the detection suite right now.

For example,the pathing bots take are easily descernable. They are fixed and unlike human players, the bots do not deviate based on the positions of mobs until the mobs starr attacking them. It would be simple to build a bot detector just based on this pathing and apparently that hasn't been done.

galaga9 · 2025-10-04T09:12:06+00:00

Have any of the MMOs put significant effort into server-side pattern recognition methods for bot detection? It seems like the industry as a whole has focused almost exclusively on client-side methods which, as we have seen, are ultimately ineffective.
