Ask a guy who runs ~10000 world of tanks bot accounts anything
To what end? For what purpose?
Do you get anything out of it?
Why?
i grind the accounts to tier 10 and sell them on ebay and the likes
How many friends do you have irl?
a hand full close friends, and some others i know. i am a pretty average dude
how did you script the bot?
grinding that shit aint easy i guess
it is an easy way to make money "relatively" effordlessly and i learned alot doing so.
how much are they worth?
we created a data set of actual play data and use machine learning and a neuronal network to improve the data. it is a lot of underlying code. we even implemented a swearing functionality. chances are high, that you played against our bots
>~10000
i call bullshit you dont have that many email adresses
it depends. they never have the same price. ranging from the mid 40s to over a hundred.
you would be amazed how many people buy accounts these days to skip the grind.
i'll just assume you are trolling
Do you have any aggregate data about your bots win ratios? ...are... are they better than me?
'we' so its a company you seem to know too well the structures... just admit you work for wot
Was the time investment worth it?
How much dough do you pull down?
this is a funny question, because until the midtiers the winratio is on the average scale, at 48% to sometimes 51%, but on higher tiers its bad as high 30s. i think on low tiers a single tank does not matter as much
What hardware do you use? Do you play the 10k simultaneously or only a handful at a time? Do you leverage higher tiers to boost lower tiers? Is it all automated or do the bots require input? How big is the ML database? Are you learning from replays or during gameplay?
well, since i use wot as a platform, do i technically work for them? mhh
So you only do this for money? Will you aadmit you get a certain satisfaction knowing hundreds of players daily are furious at one of your bots for literally causing them a loss, or possibly several in a row, at higher tiers?
see you got an office and all now..
Headless client most likely. Nobody that has a serious botfarm besides very few exceptions runs a full client. You'd be surprised how light weight they can be
it definitely was, because i learned alot when it comes to scripting, coding, data package analysis and data evaluation
This makes me feel a little bit better.
this is correct.
see here: also: money comes in handy, as well
How much money you make?
Can you describe this process please? I'm trying to get into ML, not to bot wot or w/e but just in general
Thanks. Wasn't aware wot provides a headless client. Do did you change the program?
Still curious about my other questions
depending on sales and running costs, but i can live from it.
Do you actually play the game for fun or is it just for the money?
Lol dude of course wot doesn't provide a headless client. You have to make the whole thing yourself by reverse engineering all the packet data coming and going to mimmick the real clients input and output. C'mon go watch some YouTube videos.
technically wot does not provide a headless client, but the data you can sniff is immense.
you want to rent some servers with high virtualization capabilities, depending on how many bots you are running parallely. and the btw: timeouts to the wot servers are a real pain in the ass
So you don't enjoy knowing your bots are ruinin the gameplay for a lot of people? Bots are 80% of why I just quit playing a year ago. Why bother if sometimes you're just bound to lose because one/several of your teammates aren't even people? Sucks the fun right out. You're telling me you don't enjoy hearing that?
i stopped a while ago playing it for fun.
powercreep and questionable design decisions killed it for me
do you pay up your country taxes ?
i do not put any feelings into it, but i like it when something works out and i get the satisfaction for having learned interesting things
yes, but my tax statement does not say bot-programmer
can i work for you? doing little things for little money? i know little scipting myselfe
How much money do you make per year doing this?
i do not hire anyone. sorry, my friend
enough to live off it and live a normal life
