18 bots this time around. I played PF for an hour and they all FR'd me in that time. I'm going to keep bumping this thread with these numbers, and maybe I'll start posting the names of the bots. Don't know if that is okay under the forum's rules, though.

Tbh, I suggested the same thing, but well I guess great minds think alike. Except my suggestion said that you don't have to do ReCaptcha in-game. What do you think, OP? Anyways, support. 【⏒!⏒】 AYY KID, THAT MAKES ME SALTY & SAVAGE 【⏒!⏒】

Adding a reCaptcha in-game would be very difficult and clunky. Bots don't typically go into the game to FR you, though.

Alright then, I just got 11 more in the past hour. Here are the names of the bots: ClickMe129e381 ClickMe2793e71 ClickMe577e239 ClickMe2924e180 ClickMe904e266 ClickMe67e449 ClickMe871e83 ClickMe4315e76 ClickMe3780e314 ClickMe596e416 ClickMe3094e198 Clearly reCaptcha was implemented poorly if this stuff is allowed to happen.

I encourage everyone else to list bot names so that they can be properly dealt with.

Support. If they are all being generated by the same I P , it would make sense to just I P ban the -Insert computer talk for what a bot generates from- . I'm also being spammed by them, and all of their descriptions show "How to get free robux". Yey I posted something I must be important!

It's clear that this is the work of one guy, because I don't think the type of coordination that makes it so all the bots have the same description is possible, much less likely.

This also brings up another topic of "Should tix be added back", because before tix was removed, I barely saw any "free robux scams", due to the fact that everyone got an amount of tix per day they logged in.

I have always maintained that if ROBLOX had implemented reCaptcha before they removed TIX, then the update would have been useless and actually detrimental to implement. The only real issue with TIX at the time was that they were being botted, like FRs and messages are now. I have another topic about ROBLOX being more willing to undo updates, and once this bot issue is figured out I think it would be in their best interest to consider reimplementing TIX or some other free currency, in addition to adding back place revenue from visits.

The Game Revenue mechanic needs to be added back, if any. Players who spend their time making great (Sometimes great) games, to no benefit. Barely any players buy game passes, and even if they do ROBLOX makes more than half of the revenue. Without this mechanic, new and creative games will most likely not be made because there is no benefit, and without new games means less players, and less money to ROBLOX as a whole.

I don't think that would be as productive or as efficient as just pointing out the bots when we get affected by them and implementing reCaptcha correctly, with no gaps in security.

^ Sorry, what I meant is that only that idea should be implemented, not the ReCaptcha for sending a FR. 【⏒!⏒】 AYY KID, THAT MAKES ME SALTY & SAVAGE 【⏒!⏒】
