SE Please Sell Gil

[grey1234]

SE,

The bot situation is out of control. When creating a new character, I cannot even do the MSQ quests because bots will steal kills from inaccessible terrain or the air. I seriously wait in line for a bot train to finish. People cannot even queue for Amdapoor Keep anymore. And for those playing a thaumaturge? Good luck even doing your job quests.

I paid good money for this game and am moving on, because of bots. It doesn't matter how well done Shadowbringers is. Nor how polished the game is. If you allow this insane level of botting, it trashes the game. I truly do not understand why...

1. There is no client side cheat detection.
2. Reporting bots seems to be intentionally difficult.
3. Reporting gibberish bots does nothing.
4. Reporting non-gibberish player bots, typically with crowns and all does nothing.
5. There is obviously no real effort at containing the problem, and yes, things can be done.

At this point, all I can think of is that it is too financially beneficially for SE to take action. The bots make them money, so they look the other way. Who knows, I don't, and will never.

But please SE, if it really is about profit over actually caring for your game, then sell freaking Gil. Sell it on the MogStation, make it legit. Those concerned about P2W, well we can buy level boosts and quest completions.

I'm quitting, as I know nothing will be done. But for the rest of your player base, especially new players, at least consider it. Sell Gil, beat the bots at their own game. Will it get rid of all of them? Nope. But it'll get rid of enough that you can focus on what is remaining.
