Farmville Cheats: Bot vs Hacks

Bots are the most commonly recommended Facebook FarmVille Cheats. A bot is the short name for web robots that run automated tasks for you. The reason why they are not welcome in the online games world is because bots quickly and automatically gather or ‘farm’ for resources that are usually only gained through significant time and effort. In other words it wrecks the game for other players and ultimately makes the game boring especially for the bot user. Not all bots are malicious but using any bot is against the terms of service for FarmVille. And in case you are wondering how a bot is detected it is usually via the mouse movement. If it’s the same every single time then something wrong there.

A FarmVille Cheats hack is different from a bot in that usually a hack relies on fiddling with code. A lot of people do it but if you don’t know what you are doing you can really cause yourself a lot of problems including being banned from the game. That’s about 44% of everyone who responded. Most of them also mentioned that they had been either temporarily suspended or permanently banned. A lot said it was a real pain and they would never hack again. How bad the effect it depends on you. Well if you read the terms of service for the game you will see that some form of game cheats are actually illegal and not acceptable according to the usage rules. The rules state very clearly that you cannot use any automated system to play the FarmVille Facebook game.
