Translation: Automatic Bot Penalty System Information

In an effort to fight against one of the biggest burden in today’s MMORPGs, Team Aion in collaboration with the players finally introduced a more useful and updated version of their automatic bot reporting function. Even though they are still banning on a weekly basis (with public ban lists), they really need stronger measures to reduce this problem to a minimum.

The initial version of their Bot reporting function was hardly effective, mostly due to the limitation of only 1 report per 30 minutes. So they needed a system which encourages players to report more bots, but at the same time avoiding abusive behaviors on legit players. With the latest patch from 21. January 2009 they provided an interesting overhaul to their current system.

It has yet to be seen on how effective this new system will work out – but it looks much more promising than the old system!
