Materia: Pyros bot army has increased upto 40+ now.. will the devs ever actually care

[Corrupted]

Am I understanding this correctly? Do you mean there's actually bots in Hydatos bunnies, too? o.O

I've seen some yes, but they're not as bad as pyros & pagos. Those are "what you gonna do about it" in your face, that sort of deal.

Joining pagos and seeing 16 bots in 2 parties VS 1-2 players is the issue here

Interesting. I’m more curious how the bots handles traversing through the lv59-65 areas should their bunny beckons them to. They don’t have this nuances in low level bunny FATEs in Pagos & Pyros so long they’ve outleveled the areas.

You're right, probably why we don't see them there as often in pagos & pyros. Although they do die sometimes to dragons or they break in a specific spot (namely in pyros, from the dragon star crystal going north east) there's always one there stuck near the mammoths behind a crystal spike walking in place.

I remember reporting a bot farm with a twitch stream up and he had about 10+ screens being recorded and Square did nothing and theguy even talked big about "I went to gm jail they won't punish you cause you give them real life cash" I guess this is why a lot of bots aren't being handled lmao

It would be great if GMs just mark the bots, and basically treat them like Adds where you can defeat them and have them drop all their stuff in classic MMO style.

If giving them the boot doesn't stop them then disrupting their operations will, you can do a lot more damage to bots this way than simply erasing their existence because you're taking away their stuff.

or alternatively the GMs can just mark the Bots, and have their items erased every second interval.

Edit -

Tbh AngelicDeath's comment has me concerned if there is corruption going on.

Bump because i dreamt about bots in Eureka again. One little bunny, two little bunnies, three little bunnies getting rescued in under a minute. They're so helpful for all the bunny families. Wait, that was before I went to sleep.

You can call it corruption but they are giving currency to SE. It would not be that shocking to find out that the higher ups uses a smokescreen of "it's not our highest priority" or other such nonsense to cover the fact that SE is happy about the extra revenue the bots are bringing in AND inflating that sub count!

[Curisu]

I don't think that they need these bots to inflate the sub count.
What would be their total amount? 100 eureka bots?
They probably lose more active subs or potential new buyer's due to the high visibility of the bots.

SE is just lazy and cheap or not enough JP player complained about it or they bait them all in a false security for a huge ban wave.
