Since it's so easy, surely you guys can come up with a solution?
Some ingame changes who will reduce bot income, however you can always craft stuff from mats and sell to vendors to.Since it's so easy, surely you guys can come up with a solution?
It's not as if the most popular MMO:s out there have managed to fix the bot problems.
Having GM personnel to handle bots, while might be viable, is just a dream.
The cost of having personnel, even for an hour, of their work day will be hard to justify.
What I would like to see done is the following:
* Reduce the gold cost of mounts and refund the difference to the people that already bought mounts.
* Reduce mats vendor value to 0
* Change how motifs are acquired. Either increase the motif drop rate on containers or a chance when deconstructing an item to learn the racial ability. For highend purpose and as incentive, make new racial motif that are considered "high end" random loot from dungeon mobs.
Vendor mats and motifs are how they make money, remove that from the equation and they will find new ways of reaching out to gold sellers.
By taking away the high cost of motifs and mount, there's really no incentive to buy gold.
Shouldn't they of come up with a solution by now?
I think it is time we came up with a better solution. We can't STOP them, that much is obvious, but we might be able to CONTAIN them.
I think we need to make all crafting mats vendor for 0 and boost the gold from mobs by 3 to 5 times what it is now. I don't really like this idea, but it should in theory stop the bots from node farming and push them all into pub dungeons and Crosswych-like areas where they are a pain but at least contained.
Does anyone else have any other potential solutions. I realize mine is pretty drastic, but since enforcement is not working containment seems the only way.

You always make these comments. I'm not saying I don't mind. Your tone is very entertaining. If you're not trying to be funny, I'm sorry.

Not being sarcastic. There's something about the ultimate defeat/unsub/uninstall/pack your bags and go home comments that I find entertaining.
