Botters has RUINED PvP :(

[Alleo]

Consideration for PvP in a nutshell. "Bah, that's just PvP, doesn't matter much right? Those peasans should be glad that SE throw a bone to them from time to time"
Boting is not a necessary evil, it's a cancer and a mmo killer. Crafters hate them for a good reason.

Funny how you read my post. No I am not defending bots itself, I am just saying that at the end content must be worth it for SE. They need time and money to create a new map for PVP, which is the reason why they try to put so many incentives behind it. This is also the reason why they banned the chat in feast, made it possible to go into it with a lvl30 job, put EXP behind it and made PVP easier. This was not done for the already playing hardcore PVP players, no this was done to have more people try it out and play it. Because people said that they wont play it for certain reasons. If SE did not care how many people would play it they would not have tried so many things to make it more popular. At the same time if they make the gained EXP way to low this would mean that barely anyone would try it out because its not worth it. And they simply can not make events like the Garo one all the time. Because that would mean that they put even more time and money behind PVP which would mean that it needs to be even more successful to make it worth it. Making it a good opportunity to level up your characters is one way to make a great incentive without putting much work into it. It just had the unfortunate effect that this also got the attention of AFK players and bots. So either SE sees this situation as the lesser evil because it would mean that people still would play PVP thus they got what they wanted or it means that they have to create a solution for this. But only giving something for the winning team is not a solution they probably want..because this would go against their aim to make PVP more popular. (I would love to be able to punish those AFKlers and botters way more easily.)
