Is anyone annoyed by the HUGE number of people using bots on this game?

[Nuru]

one thing you said in your post that stands out

you know its wrong

you dont want to cheat, the people who use these programs either think its ok, or know its not, but dont care
they know they will get banned if they do it, but they do it anyway

even in the easiest games, with the easiest systems, people STILL do it, and why? because it helps them do things they wouldnt normaly be able to do.

these programs are advertised to help you level faster, farm when your sleeping to make extra money, and so on and so forth

they arent advertised to target "making the game easier"

no matter how easy, or less tedious they make anything, the same people will still bot them, because they can.

but as i said, the best way to get rid of non rmt players doing this, is to enforce the rules to the extreme. mass bannings and investigations. we will get these when it all goes p2p im sure but for now its not really happening as much as some of us want, which is why it seems more rampant

All i can really say is, continue to report every bot you see, and keep the pictures and names of the bots, or perhaps any videos, inside a folder. Whenever the time comes, submit that folder to SE and those people will have played for over 7 months in vain. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. They can start over again and play the game the way it was intended, or they can take a hike.

Clearly you haven't played a game with an easier system. Especially since the biggest MMO out there (WoW) essentially has a built in bot.

1. Select your synth.
2. Select number of synths.
3. Start.
4. Go get a sandwich.

Then again Kuro, she is saying that no matter how easy the game is, people are still going to bot.

If a game can maintain a consistent number of account bans for botting, then that may stagger the botting community.
