I've been waiting, nearly 2 years now for v4 whatever. Development is going in the direction of Botlink, not to v4. If JP tells me I can create my own toggle in botlink to prevent reactive TWX scripts then fine. I don't think that's the case however.

We're not getting any younger here folks. We just want to play an old game from the 1990's the way it was when it was at it's height of popularity.

You can already toggle to kill reactive scripts.... planet movement, delay foton detonation, you can't flood a player while attacking. Add in an attack delay. Be creative and you can delay most any AFK scripts to the point of being useless. Sure you might get the first round off but then it has to catch up so you have the chance to get away.

A chance to get away does not equal playing on the same level, with the same "tools".

I only want to take away the most deadly of tools, until or IF the player choose to learn that style of play.

What "everyone" doesn't have is an equal level of game knowledge and experience. Would a new or returning WoW or MW3 player be on the same level as someone who has been constantly playing for a long time? No, and they would probably get their butts handed to them - with the same "tools".

Your argument has "ALWAYS" been against reactive AFK scripts. You have them, be creative and use the tools you have to make them useless.
Write a script that removes fotons from the game during certain hours. While foton's are off change the planet move delay to 0 for people wanting to run buydown/mega or selloff scripts. Set ceratin hours to different things to allow people to get in when they like the settings that make them feel safe. You can do so much more but instead you want a global toggle. Sorry but that seems like the lazy way out when you can already do most of what you want.

It's Spring time guys... get outside, get some fresh air and sunshine....

We'll resume debate tonight.

It is raining and nasty outside, or I would be on my motorcycle or target shooting instead of surfing the net and reading the forums.

Cruncher, what would you say if there were a free helper that combined the power of TWX with the user-friendliness of SWATH? Would that also ruin the game, or would it level the field?

Cruncher, you could just say you lack the abilities necessary to use the tools already provided

Or I lack the ability to interpret someone's cryptic help files.

Or I lack the time and desire to have to learn a program that is not necessary to use to play the game with.

Or rather I lack the ability to write custom scritps. A player (script kiddie) using the free public scripts will always be toasted by a player who can write custom scripts.

Why should anyone be forced to have to learn how to write scripts to play a game?

If we don't, then we're all just so much fodder, no matter what your game knowledge is.

So, why bother?.... (sound of feet walking away)....

How is that different from Swath? From within Swath I can run TWX and Zoc scripts.

You don't have to learn, 90% of what I use/do in games is with public scripts available on Helix's/Dynarri's/The Forums website. All the private scripts are specific purpose and not game changers.

I'd like you to please tell me of one reactive script that:

a) isn't available for everyone
b) is unable to be defended against with public script's currently available
