Greetings Adventurers,



With the continuing aim of eradicating bots and exploits from Black Desert Online, I’ve been working on a few things lately and wished to share the progress.



Fishbots and other software



One of my favourite topics. Today we are applying a ban wave on 226 accounts that were using 3rd party software, primarily fishbots, although some other software is included. As before, we’ve eliminated the chance of false positives, so appeals will not be accepted.



Marketplace Bots



I’m working with the developers on detection methods, I’m not at a stage yet where I’m confident enough in the accuracy of these, but we’ll continue to work and improve on this.



Hotbar Exploit



This involves editing the game files and is certainly a violation of the terms of use. I’m pleased to say that the exploit will be fixed with the patch today. Exactly what action will be taken on those that made use of this cheat is still to be determined.



As always, thank you to those that take the time to send us reports, we’ll keep working on these and purging bots wherever possible.
