Autoclicking: A Problem That Needs Dealing With

Now, I know autoclicking is technically allowed as long as the mouse doesn’t click more than once a second, but I, along with MANY other players, believe that autoclicking should not be allowed at all.

Autoclicking allows players to gain a distinct advantage over other players who actually sit down at the computer. Auto clicking is simply a very low form of botting, as botting is defined as preforming an action without you clicking the mouse. Even with a simple auto clicker a cheater can get ahead on skills like hunter where you just have to click the imps.

Another one of my concerns is that the auto clickers are online and logged in the entire time, earning spins and points, while actually not even being online themselves.

Now if a person is autoclicking for a long time and they are afk, the sandwich lady will stop their botting, but if they are checking back every so often, they are still botting and can get FAR ahead of the game, much farther then the average player would want to sit and click.

As I said, a main skill I would like to point out is hunter, where one can auto click and gain a ton of money and exp, while not even being at their computer. This isn’t fair to those who do the work and take the time to level it, and isn’t fair to those who want to get their names up on the highscores, when they have to compete with a machine.

Whether we have a random event or not, and whether autoclicking is or is not considered a macro, it is still botting, and is a problem that needs to be addressed and not allowed..

I Agree with Whiplash, I wouldn't allow it, free spins = free cash, autoclicking at hunter = free cash, all of this is ruining the eco, just putting unearned wealth out there. It shouldn't be permitted, even though others can do it as well, I am sure the others enjoy playing this game and earning their cash and items themselves, that is why they don't do it. The server is getting bigger by the hour, if everyone decides to autoclick, it would be rough for the eco. It also ruins other players chances to be at the top of the "highscores" which they want to compete in and be a the top. This is just my opinion, but I would decide it on the votes, and how many people feel this way as well.
