Ok - sound off! Are you a real human being playing this game to do something besides grind nodes and sell gold (and various items) to other players? I am! (and all my alts too)

Seriously, I think the only time I don't see more bots/farmers than players is in Covenant during peak (US Pacific timezone). Dominion and Pact are at least 90% bot from my play experience for the past 3 weeks. I'd really like to know that there are players with names other than "asdf" "tyfj" "asdlfkjwijrtw" who wear better armor than Soul Shriven and don't use the Aedic Spear/Javelin attack.

And or let me know if it matters that I bother reporting this crap. The more I report, the more seem to show up.

    90%? Why would you bother posting if this was even remotely true? How about. . . . nevermind.

    If you only log in to feed a horse, for a game you have cancelled. . . . can't you find something better for those three minutes?

    Currently I'm surrounded by groups of them. AD has been ok over the last week.

    Yeah, I wish it was far from reality too. Just 30 mins ago I realized I was shocked to see a player with an actual name, wearing actual armor. That's when I began questioning if renewing for another month is worth it.

    Don't get me wrong, there's a lot I like about the game. But I'm tired of dealing with "bots" constantly, in addition to the (functionally) broken Mac client.

    He's going to die when your subscription runs out you know... I hope you're happy.

    I play during off-hours on the NA server...11pm to 4am PST...to avoid most of the bots.

    My idea to help discourage bots... Strip anything they pick up. Instead of GMs just kicking bots, tag them and auto-discover their @account names. Then any character that uses that @account will be auto-stripped of anything they acquire through mobs or resources. Nothing gained except xp/skill points...nothing to sell except leveled characters.

    PETA are on their way to Dita's house as I write this.
