For me the trading of charms is impossible,how can you trade like 80 of those things one by one
I have like 80 at 60 I was tired of running after the illusionist's to trade my charms
at least let every illusionist trade max. 10 charms
I can imagine a person with 200,he or she will be crazy before end trading every 200
you will get cripple( salad) fingers
I hope they change it to max. 10 if it is possible

Why would any1 bot this event, pretty sure all the rewards are only cosmetics(and maybe bound on pickup?)... Not to mention they just had the bot event of the year 3 weeks ago, so pretty sure the botters are happy to sit this one out and Count all the dollars they made on waukeens even instead...
25/bottle
6~7 bottles/character(shirt, pants, 4x armor, weapon, offhand for some classes)
+ reserve for gear upgrades
i will go crazy and start sending white powder to cryptic before i trade these 500 + charms
Lol, this event is made for bots.
Who the hell is going to chase ghosts for 5 hours in a row for a ****ty skeleton pet?
exchange the charms to whatever coins... you have to walk around the city and tag the Illusionists 600 times?
I have OCD, but still... Think I may drop out of the event. Which is sad, since I love Halloween.
How is this an anti-bot event? Since there are static turnin NPCs it would be rather easy to script a path and have them hit F twice at each NPC and move to the next one. Repeat 1,000 times.
It still slows them down. Now they need two scripts. One to farm and one to turn in the charms. With each switch requiring some level of manual intervention. One cant just bot farm 24/7 and profit. Time now needs to be devoted to cashing in the charms into real rewards.
As a side bonus, it has a real trick or treat feel to it. Having to go from NPC to NPC gathering treats is not all that different then going door to door. Sure, It can be tedious. But I honestly think it was a clever way to implement things, that is just lacking a bit of polish.
In Trick or Treat you start empty and go for the candy. The trick or treat part is when killing monsters. The Treats are the charms and the tricks are no charms. The Big Treats are turning charms into 5 treats. Even the Midsummer petal contest was more trick (1 petal) or treat (4 petals) [hint hint] [hint, hint]. Although the tougher kobolds usually protected the 4s. And Charms wasn't a bad treat either.
2nd option: Just turn in the charms and skip the Runaround.
3rd option: Pumpkin drop 5% 4 Charms, 10% 3 charms, 15% 2 charms and 70% 1 Charm and drop the less than 5 rule.
I got the skeleton pet, put it up on the AH for 600k and it sold in 1 minute. Basically just farmed it while hanging out on TS. Once you get your route down you can do it in your sleep.
Yup and as soon as you add the script it will be detected and when the numbers add up that you have 10,000 charms, say bye bye. One could hope anyways.
IMO it is a definate move in the right direction against botting. Botting is why people leave games in droves... Who wants to compete against a programmed player that has an unfair advantage? Not me.... I would not want to bother as a new player seeing that in most cases. Also in most cases a player will not pay for much when he sees the game is botted. What's the point? Since the game relies on players that extend extra wallet cash, seeing cheaters, exploiters and botters in a game would make me tuck my wallet right back into my pants until the issue is addressed.
I realize it is sometimes hard to catch cheaters / botters / exploiters, but there is also more than one way to skin a cat.
In most cases this event will seperate the hard workers from the lazy ones, the only thing that will seperate them will be AD amounts coming or going. Having this companion either way will show some true dedication and not to mention the extra bonus drops you get for having the skeleton companion summoned.
I wanna know when the Headless Horseman is gonna attack the city. Any clue?
@headlesshorseman
Or those with money so... I don't see how having the companion shows "true dedication" at all.
Regardless, my point remains, that this event, at least as far as the turn ins go, which is what I was specifically commenting on, is not anti-bot in the slightest.
And making an item 'harder' to get, which leads to less of them for sale on the AH, just adds more incentive to botters since that means a larger profit margin.
not realy, npc`s standing on same spots is still handy for a bot, i wouldn`t even look strange if bots are used because it`s crazy if someone wants the companion.
500 times clicking or something on npc`s, i do think they look prety in the lighting of PE, but seeing them that much is crazy ;p
i agree make it at least 5 in one trade.
We all know why most of us hate doing this event or has given up after 100 trades. It's the same for my reason as to why I'm opting out on this event. I can understand this event is just like a Halloween tradition, going door to door and asking for free candy... except it's not free, we have to work to get something first in order to get something else. Had it been something like just talking to the npcs and just getting "treats" (no trading involve) we'd all would have a different opinion on it.
You know what i also hate? The extra option/button you have to enter/press in order to get the item. If i interact with an npc to trade, the trade should automatically take place. Why would i not trade in the first place? Otherwise I wouldn't have talked to that npc. This is just extra time we have to waste into this already frustrating event.
Overall, this event is a fail. It's a small event and we should be thankful that it even exists. But the method to obtain the items is more of a punishment to us players than botters. We shouldn't be suffering because of them.
If the exchange rate would be upped from 1 to... i dunno let's say 5 it would be more acceptable. But seriously? Only 1? Bah... the event is filled with items we can't even benefit from, so why is it a pain to get them?
Great job PWI, for separating lazy ppl with the ones who actually work for it.... and bot too.... whatever they says... LMAO>
