User Abuse Policy on Botting and Auto Clicking Issues

Dear Maplers,

There is an increase in users in MapleSEA with Botting and Auto Clicking issues. Please note that every mapler will be dealt with if any of the offences are committed.

As shown below is some of the information that maplers can take note to prevent the account from being banned accordingly to our Abuse Policy.

1. Recognizing MapleSEA Game Masters (GMs)

In any case or event, Official GM Character must have the GM logo as shown below.

- GM’s chat messages in public will appear as ‘White Coloured Text’ in the chat window. - GM’s will have a GM logo appearing above the head. - GM will never ask for player’s password or other registered details.

2. Fulfill the Game Master’s request during inspection period

Users are to co-operate with GM upon request, and those who fails to do so may get their account access limited.

Thus, if any Official GM request for any appropriate response from the player, he or she must be able to response to it. If the Official GM did not receive any appropriate response within the test period, the player would be considered having given up his or her rights and privileges and will be considered using unofficial program.

NOTE: Official GM will never ask for player’s Account ID and Password

3. Excuses on Botting and Auto Clicking Issues

Registered accounts owner are strongly advised not to lend your account(s) to other individuals. Even if registered owner were not using the account when the in game character is caught engaging in illegal activities including using unofficial program, the account can also be banned according to our Abused Policy.

Note: We will not entertain anymore excuses such as:

1. Your keyboard is not working right at the moment when our Official GM is checking on your account.
2. You are setting up your stall. (GM will estimate and give you enough time to set up your stall.)
3. You are away from keyboard (afk) due to urgent matters or going to the washroom, getting some foods, receiving calls and etc.
4. GM’s Whisper is not open. (GM’s Whisper will definitely be opened for the player to reply.)

If you are in a place where there are a lot of people chatting for example, Zakum Alter and Free Market Channel, we will whisper to you 5-10 times depending on the situation.

The reasons that player are given 5-10 times of whisper by GM is due to the following:

1. In free market, people are all chatting in public chat so there is no way that the player cannot see a green chat text.
2. In Zakum Altar, if the player is private messaging people there are also no way that the player cannot notice another people messaging him/her.

4. APPROPRIATE Response and Answer to the Game Masters (GMs)

Players are advised to response appropriately to the Official GM when he or she is questioned and not to dismiss the Official GM’s request for co-operation.

Failure to comply intentionally or unintentionally would render the player having given up his or her rights and privileges and will be considered using unofficial program and account will be banned according to our abuse policy.

Note: Answers that do not answer our question will not be accepted
