    Try again.
    So, you were pulling the figure out of thin air based on reddit posts? As my youngest son tells me "I believe everything I read on reddit 150%".

    As an aside, I got my BA in biological statistics a long time ago, so I have an inkling of where most "statistics" come from when I see them.

    "Try again?" ??? Are we in some kind of contest here? Really ???

    He has a point tho, the majority of bots are BLM and the majority of Gil sellers that spam you are Male Hyur Gladiators.

    As an 'aside', I got my degree in Mathematics and I'm an actuary (not a long time ago; now). However, I also have common sense. It doesn't take a statistic to see that there's a common conception that bots frequently use the level fifty BLM rotation and that the question could very well have been asked honestly rather than provocatively. So I threw out a 90% number to make a point, and you're going to harp on about it because you have a degree in 'biological statistics' instead while completely ignoring my actual argument.

    AGAIN: I would like to say that this particular case is not a great one, as both sides acted in ways that could be construed as juvenile. However, the point stands. Asking people to at least attempt to use the skills the game gives them appropriately is not asking for too much. If they're trying and they can't, that's one thing. If they refuse to try, that's not being a team player in a cooperative multiplayer game and it really is a rude thing to do. Your teammates have a right to be upset. I know I would be irked, prolly wouldn't do anything about it because it's not worth it, but I would be irritated. Some people will say something about it. If you're going to choose to play with a partial toolkit, just be prepared that that is one of the logical outcomes and deal accordingly.

    That's literally all I'm saying and all I have ever said. I really don't think it's that controversial? So I don't really know why you're arguing with me so testily.
