Bots in Chocobo Racing

[alt_key]

For reference's sake, I DNF'd a race just to show what's being discussed. Note that my bird (Mars Gold) placed "DNF" at the bottom of the list, and that I received a small amount of MGP and experience points doing so.

Try again; I was told that it worked for someone else after a refresh.

I think it was 30seconds after first place finishes before dnf applies?

Anyway yeah,remove rewards for dnf's.

DNF'd race

To be fair, it is quite possible to get hit with DNF circumstance while legitimately playing. I had a race a couple nights ago where it was just me vs 7 NPCs in the 2nd circuit. That match was some Mario Kart style of bullshit. Started off with every damn NPC cock blocking me, then after a good 20sec, they finally let off and most of them sped far and fast (meaning they were tuned to high rank stats). Items did little for me, since most of the good items I claimed were stolen before I could use it (was spamming the key to avoid that, but nope). The ones behind me constantly hit me with Heavy and Frenzied (sometimes combined). When I started to catch up to some, they would Briar and follow or block me when I tried to move, speed up, or slow down (NPC, so they can easily determine your movement if it's set that way for the match). To top it off, one of them used Meteor... while I was around the 60% mark of the race, stamina was drained anyway, GG hate you all. EDIT: Oh wait nm, wasn't DNF, was 8th. I'm guessing it would have been DNF if it took me a little longer and not manage to use a dash though.

But yeah, it's definitely something folks will look to abuse. But I guess that's not a problem for them since it doesn't affect too much besides personal gain? /shrug The situation I had was definitely rare to be THAT bad.
