Is there any way of stopping people from using this camp bots. it not fair to my costumer or people who are not cheating. plus it`s making my Gothic garden look like a mess with all this camp bots.

Delete the camping chairs?

I really don't mean that to be a snarky comment. It's just that most camp chairs pay woefully little these days, like L$2/15 minutes or something like that. That doesn't even pay for the electricity to run the computer. It used to be that you could actually earn pretty good money camping, but since the camp bots have destroyed the business, I don't see that it's worth destroying your sim.

When is a bot not a bot?

The so called people that aren't "cheating" aren't exactly sitting at their computers admiring the gothness of your garden 24/7. I hear that some people take a toilet break occasionally. I know, it's shocking..

I would have to agree with Oryx here.....

Camping is really a painstakingly sloooow way to earn L's and with the whole camp-bot issue.....it's just going to cost you way more then it's ever going to be worth. As a resident.....I will also add that the last place I ever want to visit is a place loaded with camping chairs. It just sort of cheapens the whole appeal of an otherwise cool area. Camping was a great concept in theory......but I think it's just been way too exploited and over done. Gone are the days when you can hang out at a cool club and 'camp' and earn decent L's.
I've seen much more fun/creative ways of drawing crouds lately too......freebie hunts......themed photo contests. It's much more interesting to get involved in an area thru some sort of interaction, then camping. Camping only appeals to those who think they're going to make a fast buck.......but as soon as folks realize what a hassle it is....they tend to move on anyway. ;)

Agreed.

Pixie, delete those camping chairs. If you really want to attract active avatars to your sim, put out lucky chairs instead...or just have terrific products at good prices and a lot of advertising.

There are two parts to this problem, the camp chairs and the bots. If you get rid of the camp chairs the bots will stop coming!

There is both better camping and better camping devices than you offer.

If you want to see it in action I can recommend:

CNK Shop which has camping with bot protection and which pays 15-20L/hr. With store bought clothes starting at 30L and textures bulk uploading at 10L, this is not as awful as it looks. You can ask the folks who run the CNK shops on Aphrodite where they got their camp master.

You can also search for Zone Camping or CampMaster on XStreet SL. These devices have both anti-bot and anti-idle capability. There is also something called Social i-camp, but I've never camped using it.

By the way the newer camping devices do not require you to sit in one place or to dance in one spot. You can dance if you want. You can shop. It might be fun to have some games for the campers to play.

There is an arms race between bots and script writers. I'm not sure who is winning, but I think it is the script writers.

As for camping, not everyone is rich. Not everyone is skilled. Not everyone wants to pay.
