Are bots/hackers worse in NA than in Asia?

I haven't played AA, I've been watching it and waiting. I normally like to wait a few months after a MMO releases before starting to play; give it some time to fully bake.

One thing I noticed in ESO, and also by reading about AA, is that hackers and bots are rife. In ESO, the bots ran under the ground, so you'd head to something to harvest it, and it would disappear before your eyes as a bot under your feet got it.

So my question is: are hackers and bots a lot worse in North America than they are in Asia? Don't games like AA, which have already been released for years in Asia, have all the bots/hackers problems there too? Or do they just tolerate it better in Asia?

    Not having played on Asian servers I'm going to guess yes.  Largely due to a difference in culture mentality and billing set ups.  In Asia you pay by the hour/minute (not sure which exactly) for most MMOs(AA included I believe) so boting seems kind of stupid unless you're guaranteed to make that money back through the bot and not get banned and take a huge loss.  I mean we even see it in mechanics in many asian ports.  We in the west just abuse the shit out of anything we can simply because we can.

    From reading current AA complaints, it looks like bots swooped down from the heavens to claim all the new land in a few seconds, while many players couldn't log in at all.  This has made many players mad.

    Does this also happen on the Asia servers? Do Asian players put up with this? Or is it really just limited to NA?

    Other regions are going through server merges so I'd imagine most Asian players don't put up with... whatever is going on over there, either.
