Botters has RUINED PvP :(

[Ashiee]

There are definitely bots in frontlines. At least yesterday while I was playing I noticed quite a few people (probably about half or so of the alliance) doing some really janky movements. They would all stop facing the same direction, and would move all in unison a second or two later. I only noticed it once or twice in the match, so its not super apparent otherwise. That being said, the games I have played with Bots generally go better then the games I play with real people unfortunately.

Yep been happening for Immortal Flame

They're putting themselves on auto follow, so they're reap characters just moving in a mob so they look like they're there but don't have to play. It sucks because they're easy to spot but we only get one kick per four hours and half the people are afk and can't even vote to kick so we get stuck with a zombie mob.

This could easily just be latency though. And Frontlines has A LOT of Latency issues. Like have you ever noticed when queueing for a dungeon, you stand there alone for a second, then the rest all pop in at the same exact time? That's not them all coming in at the same time, rather your internet getting that package at once.

I will say the type of movement I'm talking about is different the latency lag. I know theres a lot of latency in frontlines, with Auto DCs if you drop packets and such. The movements I'm talking about are very specific. People stop in weird places, if there's multiple people they stop in a group, and they all move simultaneously a few seconds later. I mean I looked up a few on Lodestone just to see what their match rate is and the people who I suspect based on their movements are the same people who have 300-400+ matches during the week.

That being said, I usually PVP in the dead hours of the game from 1am-5am PST, which is why I have been seeing so many bots usually. You just end up seeing packs of them, between 8-12. People aren't playing as much during those hours and honestly the bots are helping with fast queues so It's honestly whatever for me, I don't mind them. It's not like they all gather on one team, Flames Adders and Mael all have around that many bots during that time of day.

I will that say that once you get out of the dead hours, you will notice Bots a lot less because more actual players are filling the queue. So unless your playing during dead hours like I am, the majority of people in PVP who people are claiming are bots are probably just bad honestly.
