The end of auto-talkers

From now on if a player requests an auto-talker and it's within their first 10 posts (which, lets face it, it will be.) can we forward them to the tutorial section with no-one just handing them a working script?

I swear I see auto-talker requests all the time and people keep helping these guys out. I was under the impression our goal here at Villavu was to blend in with other players. Botting while not ruining the game.

Auto-talkers do nothing but ruin the game and if a player can't scratch one together in 30seconds then they should be taught how, not handed one.

Just my two-cents.

I support, auto-talkers are so annoying in the GE and near house portals.

Why not simply not allow auto talkers… we know it ruins the game overall - its use is simply to advertise for their own gains & making it worse on the chatlogs for everybody else in the same area

lets just say, not allowed when requested

They are annoying. I never make them, they annoy me and other players way to much. :(

Really nice. Then it looks like after all I wasn't wrong for not helping those people not active/-10 posts. Even though they always got mad and probably some people active, took me a non- helpful person. I am pretty sure that if you gather all the names of the members joined in the past 7 months, and vote to see who has been the one who has been a bit hard on all these -10 people, I will win. That's what I think.

While I agree with this, I think we should encourage them to just not make them at all. Pointing them to a tutorial is fine, but like some others have said it ruins the game more than any other kind of botting (IMO) because it constantly affects the players around them.

Tempted to write a function to sit in GE and auto-report the auto-typers… I know there used to be one such app around here somehwere…

This was not really directed at established members of this community, while I think auto-talkers have a negative affect upon the game if you are capable of privately making one for yourself, then by all means.

It's directed at the requests that pop up on such a regular basis and instead of helping someone learn to develop their own, we get annoyed and just hand them one and say plug in your words and press run.

I think that practice should stop and they should be taught, or they can download one off youtube ;)

indeed, we've been saying for ages. Don't even respond to auto talker request threads..

Definitely have my support for this. There's nothing more annoying than turning PM on and getting swamped by gold farmers auto typing
