BOT BOTS BOTTING (3046)
For our purposes, a BOT is a term for a grouping of interconnected triggers
run on a MUD client that performs a set of actions, e.g. spamming magic spell
casting for the purpose of skill practice while seeing to a characters eating,
drinking and sleeping needs at the same time.
Generally speaking, if you the player are still in attendance to respond
appropriately to any incoming stimuli for your character, you're not breaking
any rules. You the player always needs to be in control of the character.
What constitutes legal use of triggers and illegal use of a bot is at the
discretion of the immortal staff, so please be aware that we may ask you to
stop if we deem what you are doing inappropriate.
An excerpt from 'help rules':
"Using your client to play for you (botting), while ignoring everything
else going on around you is not roleplaying, and you will be punished
as such."
So the kinds of triggers that start combat or a disarm trigger are not a client playing for you, therefore, not cheating.
2) Triggers don't help you win fights. They help you seal kills on fights you were already going to win/are winning. A dash trigger does fuckall if you get curb stomped in melee. An auto-bat trigger doesn't prevent someone from bashing you to death (have done with several orcs to bat spamming pallys). Specifically there is *no* fight a trigger can win for you since it can't do anything you can't do, it can only do that which you would already do (follow, re-engage, etc.) *faster*. If Shaapa completely stopped trigger use, you would still lose to him all the same times you already do, but now you'd get away (maybe) slightly more often assuming everything else stays the same, but it wouldn't and the lack of triggers would probably cause you to stay in a fight you are losing longer and Shaapa would just kill you the same amount as before, but now you'd blame his broken build (or whatever) instead of triggers.
