The amount of botting going on must be massive. PA has gold listed at 100k for 16.50 us dollars. You can get almost any item in the game for 10 bucks or less and a level 50 toon costs around 50 bucks....which is strange since the box costs more than that. I hope they get things straightened out by the time this hits consoles. I would like it even better if they would have a console only dedicated server so that we wont be affected by all the craziness that has happened thus far.

Originally posted by JDis25 Am I the only one who hasn't given all but a few minor fucks about botting?
Trust me you are not the only one.
Although I haven't had a minor fuck in a few years now.
All kidding aside, I have only been in one dungeon where the Botters were so bad I had a problem getting a hit in for a completion. That was in the second AD zone. I will admit I would stick around in a dungeon and kill a Boss a few times (well actually five times total each boss) for the full Soul Gems they dropped. I'm glad I did now. I have around 50 full Soul Gems to use for my weapons. I don't have to waste a slot for the Soul Trap spell.

Sure Zenimax is banning bots by the thousands but is it putting a dent in it NO why well they still can't figure out how they are getting back in the game so fast.
I had a chat with one of the bot runners one day turns out they don't pay for the game they use a keygen unless Zenimax changes the way to verify key they could ban a billion bots and it would not stop them.
Now they are nerfing loot to stop bots farming well that impacts players as well i have played for days without getting any loot worth using or selling my provisioner is not seeing any recipes above vr1 drop.
Hacking is still rampant as every i see players flying around,speed hackers without a way to protect variables from being changed by external programs this game will fail, i don't think i will continue to sub for this game.
Wake up Zenimax use anticheat system, encrypt your packet data better, find a way to verify game key and purchase properly.
I am pretty sure they can't use a keygen, A P2P MMO ain't activated until you pay the first months fee.
Stolen accounts is way more likely if they play for free, it usually plagues new MMOs.
I agree that botting is a huge problem but it is honestly not that easy to fix. Almost all larger MMOs have the same problem for about the first 3 months until they finally plugged all the holes. One good reason to avoid any MMO the first few months besides the bugs.
And yes, Nerfing the loot to stop bots is a stupid tactics, punishing everyone for what people who cheat does will only affect the regular players, the price of gold will just go up somewhat to cover for everyones lesser loot.
But as I said, actually solving this will take time, you have to be patient or cancel your subscription and play something else until it is fixed (my guess is in July).
So happy I didn't buy this and bought into Wildstar, the WS beta has been so much fun and so much to look forward to, everyone I know playing this game is unhappy to some extent.
Originally posted by Skooma2 They can do with bosses what LotRO does with Skirmish Raids: You can only get loot from a particular boss once per week. Bye-bye bots.
It would also annoy the regular players, it is fine with raids and larger dungeons but not even LOTRO do it for smaller bosses.
Bye-bye players as well.
You could however do so people can't loot the same boss twice in a row, only the laziest and the botters would complain about that. Running the same small dungeon over and over to kill a particular boss is boring anyways but when you run past the dungeon a few hours later you should still get loot.

um "possibly"?
Why in the world would you believe the word of this person? For all you know he is just "saying things"? Maybe he wants to seem more "capable" than he is and make his organization seem more "powerful".
Or maybe he is doing this, who knows.
And incidentally, talking with a bot runner might be a sure way to get yourself banned if they start tracing players to these people.
Maybe not but you could just report them and ignore them.
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
Strange how they did put a fix in for bots and haven't seen one for a week or two. Also next to no gold sellers now.
Its either a US server problem (EU here), or not a single person in this thread is actually playing.
Not a US server problem either ....has been a clear slate for well over a week ...it's the usual suspects, the kool crowd that really don't play anything, but talk about sandbox full pvp and f2p Asian grinders

That's the way it is ....console and pc don't mix
