It seems that in the PC World at least, the ability for people to be ‘creative’ with automated clicking or bot runs is tempting and producing some unbelievable runs arguably questioning reputation of the site.
Seems like it’s turning into a tech race rather than a test of skill. I imagine, is it near impossible to adjudicate?
Is it worth reviewing the value of the < 100 categories?
Just thoughts not recommendations....
i thought about that with 1st place on 25 and 50
it is autoclicker for sure also i bind scroll wheel to left click to get a fast click speed
On my 25 Hops run I am also using scroll wheel you can see me using the mouse in the video. (I can post my AHT script to rebind scroll wheel if you want as well)

Maybe require that we see some physically using a mouse I guess, idk.... it is getting a little out of hand
Use of these options could also be used on highscore runs to quickly cross entire sections of empty road before vehicles have a chance to move into empty spaces- players could simply wait for an opportunity where they could make a straight beeline, and these options remove the aspect of finger speed in these situations
First off congratulations on your PC hi score well done I am amazed.
What you say is correct and confirming the use of this method must be hard, but at least with the high score and larger speed runs that there is still skill involved. what I’m saying is it’s not just a straight line Lucky run with questionable skill
Ps I won’t be switching to PC in case anyone else asks or is curious, it’s a different skill that I dont possess.
i just think that we should establish rules for what is and what isn't allowed, e.g. remapping and auto clickers - I don't disagree that using these methods take skill, and I think anyone who is into the game enough to go for WRs will have enough honesty to respect the rules
they are in extra categories for wheel and autoclicker so its fine
I’ll stick to tapping on my iPad for now, and it’s likely that until my scores get beat on iOS my iPad will get some rest.
Well done again Joshua great play
