Firmament Botting Out Of Control

[Lecru]

"anyone who does better than me is botting"
competition half over atm. 4d 18h remain.

i have ~875k rn, only crafting 5-7hr/day. 1.1m not outside realm of feasibility, given a few hrs more invested per day.
even ppl that play 16hr days are still getting healthy amt of sleep. more than double the playtime, so surely double the point can be expected as well, though efficiency may drop with fatigue.

the 2 fisherfells that reached 500k, 600k yesterday on my server are real players, maybe yours is, maybe isn't. 537k a day later within reasonable expectation still.
other friend pushing 12-14h sessions, barely hanging on as btn, 90-100k/day, losing out to player that pushing 16h+ sessions.
in that respect i'm glad i picked doh again... quite lazy compared to him.

sure, some bot may exist, but largely this feel like temper tantrum tier bc unwilling to accept the length achievement hunter will go to for limited-time reward // not willing to go that far yourself.

I think you missed the part where I said i'm a Saint myself from last tier. I know the lengths. I did it. And in the week that it took us to do it last time, nobody was near 1mil points on my server. At most 700k. But nice job assuming EDIT: Looked back. APPARENTLY there were those that hit that mark. But only at the END. Nowhere NEAR hitting those numbers mid competition.

Also, i've been around since 1.0 and beta of ARR. I've been around the block long enough to not only notice a bot when I see it, but to talk to people who used to bot in the day and how they work. It's not hard when you know exactly what to look for. We're suppose to report them. But apparently nobody at SE knows how to do that at least on the NA servers. When somebody is seen consistently going to the same exact spots down to the coords, that's botting. (As for that fisher). Like you said, we know it happens. And it's reported. SE needs to start enforcing it. Because all that attitude does, the one you have, is simply allow them to continue on instead of pointing out blatant abuses of the system
