Well, i only bot like 2 days in a week and not more than 6h per day, have botted in the double exp week longer to 18h stamina, last time i have botted Yalahar Demons by DvScripts and botted only the green hour 2h no one was there and i dont saw any player on respawn, and in the double weekend exp i botted hidden destroyers by Eli and all weekend i was alone there.

I always botted in front of pc never afk, always looking what the character doing with all alerts to prevent to be banned, i have botted like 8 years and never get banned, Windbot used since came out and never have problems.

Now i see that Tibia have improved they antibot system,

Did you used authenticator? Im using eli destroyers for 2 weeks by now,but I modified it hard to randomize it,using authenticator and getting reported aswell

I lost all FACC accounts which were on ab's rorcs, swamp trolls in venore, fibula, minotaurs near kazo. I guess Cipsoft has improved their anti-bot system because it's been almost 2 years since I created these accounts.
PACC accounts are fine.

For me, people sometimes do record bots, the best is when trap somebody on magic shop, then it is the best proof that somebody is botting, one report with video and you are deleted.

I have tons on recordings on me when I'm 100% afk on my main char getting trapped in mana shop. It's also an Open-PvP server. I probably have a few 100+ reports on me but everytime they get processed enemys cry on forum and say "You don't get deleted because you buy so many addons / mounts / premmy from tibia all the time."

Maybe they have a point? ^^
Or just plain luck.

I think accounts get flagged in several ways.

One being waypoint repetition. But finding the variance in actions over time can pinpoint. For example, syncing spells with attacks. Getting the deviation of response time could pinpoint who is botting pretty quickly. Looting is another way this could be used against you.

Couple this with other flags. Tying characters to IP isn't correct all the time but hardware id is. Registration data, payment accounts (PayPal, debit cards, bank accounts), bank and tibia coin transfer history... They have all these ways

My idea with the auto detection of new accounts... There's something simple we're overlooking. Those new characters that meet the criteria are just automatically flagged as potential farmers. There is something they see that makes them confident the char is botting.

I agree, I'm a bit less confident about spell syncing though, many times we deviate from the ideal because of lag, using manas, walking, etc. Looting for sure shoulf be tedone or at least have more options, already suggested but no response.

About new accs, I did some testing on isolated machine with only one 1 acc, using my more randomized script and using an Authenticator, no deletes but there isn't anything conclusive, as people already got deleted with no suspicious behaviour before.

Dear Tibia Player,

An automatic check of your Tibia account containing character xxxxx xxxx has shown that unofficial software was used on it to play the game. Consequently, the account has been deleted instantly. Please note that using unofficial software is a very serious rule violation, hence the drastic punishment.

If you would like to go on playing Tibia, please create a new account and start over. However, if you do so, we strongly recommend you make sure to study the
Tibia Rules at http://www.tibia.com/support/?subtopic=tibiarules carefully and make sure not to violate them again. If you follow them at all times, you may be
sure not to lose your new Tibia account again.

Kind regards,
Your CipSoft Team
