      Is there anyway to automate false reports ?

      I'm thinking if you can just report random players for running into walls. ( or something similar and very simple that doesn't flag you for abusing the report system) we can break the system they have in place with x amount of reports.
      If there system relies on numbers and a machine to do the hard work then we can break the machine. This will waste a lot of GM time to inspect the reported.
      If we can get there forums full of players furious for bans that are false then we can stir shit up.

      YES. Anarchy and discord is what we need! Though we'd need to do it together, for them to not ban us 1 by 1 for abusing their report system...

      To make something like this work it would need to come from more than just a few disgruntled botters.

      Ideally: make an addon (or a plugin to an existing addon like Badboy, since it would get more immediate users) that reports ANY suspicious behavior. Encourage people to use it to report "suscpicious botters" ... then release an update later on that starts filing false reports.

      You'll get found out once people look at the code deeply enough. The addon might even get flagged. Who knows?

      Or make it communicate with other users of the same addon to mass report (other addons do similar communication with multiple users). In which case you could, as a botter, manipulate it by manually filing false reports that others auto-report.

      Will still eventually get shut down.

      But a few dozen people from a forum like this, even reporting EVERYONE they see, real or not ... is not in the end going to make significant difference. They're just going to start ignoring reports from you specifically.

      At this point I agree.. if every botter who had multi accounts ran it while in cities it would make life so hard for GM.. until they added a ignore after x amount of reports in x amount of time.. if that doesnt already exist
