Weren't "ask triggers" considered rule breaking and punishable???
Used to be, should still be, should be very illegal since they make it very very easy for bots
I could easily make a trigger that does what someone tells me also, that should be flagged same as ask. Or reacting to when he taps his foot, blows his nose or swears.
Asks makes it easier for bots, but when you talk of bots you talk of people who have made all the follow triggers needed, all the combat aids, recasting strength with the egg or anything like that.
I can´t see it will have any huge effect. I am willing to accept i might be wrong though.
I guess it would strain the machine a bit(don´t know if it would do anything) if every spoken, asked, whispered, free emoted command would have a 1 sec check to repeat, and take into consideration things like keyphrases first, last, in between or such. Not to mention the bots knowing each others aliases so asking dpack makes someone get all from pack, give unworn imbued weapons to blabla, give unwielded imbued armours to blabla, kiss gem, throw up
seems like too much effort in relations with effect.
By setting a trigger I choose that Alisa will react like that when it happens. I type okay, but i tend to have trouble reading the scrolling text which is why i like triggers. That is of course also affecting my opinion here, as i would like to play the game on the grounds i find reasonable.
I like the game relaxed, and not so gung-ho about all.
