I've written about other issues and have reported them as bugs. I'm not quite sure who you are to tell me not to discuss about something.
There are a ton of posts about bots so I don't see why I can't have my say either. Is coming here berating my opinion and being rude going to get the bugs you want fixed any faster? I didn't think so.
So congrats on a post that accomplishes absolutely nothing except make you look like a total narcissist. If you learn some manners and realize that your opinion isn't a guideline, feel free to chat me up.
Speculation is how wars start. Stating "don't care" is a bit presumptuous as we know they do.
Zenimax is in a difficult place, where I'm sure they would love to enlighten the masses on their next steps, but in doing so would be tipping off the sinister bots, lurking in the bushes taking notes. Zen more than likely have to watch the bots, analyze what they are doing/did, plan out programming changes etc
If we are going to "speculate", my guess is one day there will be a patch and when we log in, it will be eerily quite with no hum of robotic harvesters flying (literally) around, except for a few straggling bots that are actually controlled by a human lost and alone chipping at his node. Along with it costing 5K for a horse and repair costs dropping by 50%
Trust me, I'm as frustrated as the next having started an Alt and struggling to work on crafting with zero resources

Hopefully this will accomplish something or strike a conversation. Zen has taken care of bots. BUT like most games, the more popular a game the more bots. Google any gold selling site, find the top games. I guarantee that each of those games have an incredible amount of bots in them. And even WOW yes WOW has a ton of bots.
It isn't a battle easily won. They mod it the best they can.
Before you start flaming someone or flaming a company about something that just happens and is hard to control give the same respect to them as you would want yourself. It accomplishes nothing having an entitled attitude and taking the stance that you could do better is ridiculous. I am certain you couldn't. You couldn't stay awake long enough to keep up with the bots, they just keep coming. I am certain a fully staffed department couldn't handle all the personal and RMT bots out there.
Take a step back, breathe and logically think of the problem. When money is involved people will go great lengths to get that money (or personal botters who grind levels or mats). So bots will exist. Its a business. But to think Zen or any MMO company just avoids it is not worth a conversation because we both know that's not the truth.
It will be ok. Just breathe and work around it till Zen can get it more under control. Bots / Bugs / Expansions, there is alot on their plate atm.

My idea was to provoke a bit...hoping to get a response. Yes, I expect it to be a denial but it would make me feel better. I'd love to know why they send in GM's only 15 mins at a time every so often instead of having them there all the time for a while. I know that they cannot reveal all of their cards because then the ''enemy'' would find out and could plan a counter-attack right away. I'm just at a point where I feel frustrated. This is a game that I really enjoy already and what I keep hearing is ''it's our top priority'' yet nothing seems to be happening. I just did a dungeon and it was so bad. 99% of the mobs were constantly killed. They were everywhere. How am I supposed to progress when I tried to do the same dungeon a few days in a row and it's always the same issue? I know that a lot of people are experiencing this issue. There's also the issue of crafting. You try to get those crafting nodes and someone underground is already taking them. You feel powerless because you cannot even see them to report them.
Having Zeni say we have something planned for X date or around X date or even why they won't get GM's in the game at all times would feel so satisfactory to me. Right now, it feels like a lot of talk but not much action. I get it. It takes time. It's a complex issue. I just don't get why there aren't GM's in the game at all time. It would free up so many tickets and they could get rid of so many bots. But you're right. I shouldn't of assumed something when I have no inside info. I want this game to be a success. Reading all the time about it's untimely demise to f2p is scary.

I doubt it will go f2p and I wouldn't keep playing if it did. Just breathe a bit and let them try. I think if you search the forums people have really put a fire under there bums a bit already. GM's are in game btw.
Thanks for the rational response, much appreciated.
