For real, can Square do something about the bot users? As if Shatter wasn't already too PvE-oriented enough already.

This is so true it's disturbing. And the bots are all but obvious. They load in mounted, rarely ever dismount near enemies, beeline for ice, and do nothing else besides.
Frontlines really is not enjoyable at all right now thanks to this.
We just have to keep reporting & hope something gets done. I know it's annoying to end up reporting after almost every match but at least it gives them data as to the amount of problem players out there. Maybe, gods willing, they will introduce detection routines in the future.
It's why i only go in as a premade team and stomp them lol. Kills for days!
Yup! And they don't need to be bots to get that feeling lol.
Oh I'm aware of that. But for the ones we know are bots, they're usually already mounted.
They also will not attempt to fight back at all, for the most part. They'll attack ice, then retreat back to a rally point. Their behavior is all but subtle.
Oh Lore, my sweet, innocent Lore. *prepares for being slapped*...
Unfortunately they're quite common on Primal too, even coming from Levi at times. You only really notice them when going through the scoreboard at the end when someone has done no damage or healing but has died 5 times or so. They're usually using bots that just run them into the action but don't take part at all. The ones who use more advanced bots & attack the ice are harder to detect as the scoreboard makes them look "active". Look for people running at a wall or getting to an ice & standing doing nothing for 30s before attacking. They're usually ranged so don't get into the melee.
We saw a DRK that we thought was a bot (literally 0-7 one match, only like 1k damage to players and like 10k to ice), but he actually yelled at Jamtaro at one point so it turns out he was just terrible. Heh.
I suppose my real question would be...what is the point precisely of botting FLs? Are there any Wolf Mark items you can somehow sell or magically convert to money? Is it "normal" players just botting for the Garo rewards or something? That's pretty much the only reason I can think of to bot FLs, lol.
Reminds of a blm telling me I had "attitude issues" when I told my team dps was low. At the scoreboard I saw he had 0/5 and <10k damage. smh.
Not directly but by turning the equipment into stuff sellable on the MB can be quite profitable.
Desynth (ilvl90-110 best I think) WM equipment.
Or
Trade gear for company seals, then use seals to buy ventures.
Aether has a wonderful healer. They are farming light. They do about 10k in healing. But they must have got all the whm light because this week I see they are ast. If the just spammed Medica II they would have more healing. But they also tend to go to ice and spam stone 2 not even 3.
