What does SE plan to do regarding botters hogging the 3 top provider spots?

[Majidah]

I'd like to know how SE plans to address botters unloading millions of points in order to hog the top 3 spots for an extra chance at the seals in Hamlet Defense.

This design is ruining the game for normal players.

I think you misunderstand whats actualy happening with most top 3s

they are linkshells dumping all their materials into 1 person at a time to guarentee that p[erson 3 seals on top of other drops they will get

its not actual botting...8 players can EASILY farm 1mil+ mats a day to accomplish this

oh reaaaaaaally? huuuuuuuh =_=
I didn't know. Must be nice to have 8 people who are willingly mining non stop for a single one without the help of third party tools.

My ls is doing that.

we collect small amounts of material from 20-30 ppl which easily =s millions.

Working together is almost required if you want to get into the top 3 spots.

Working together gets everyone gear and seals at a much faster rate then solo.

we do our runs twice a week

we get in top 3 on 1 of those at least

we have 6 people by my count farming mats

40-50k points a day per person on the days they farm(4-5 days a week each) yeah it adds up quickly.

40-50k points of gathering mats only take 2 hours to get usualy....

it really does help when you split the work up


also, the person in the top 3(me in our case for the 1st 3 instances) will get his 9 seals, and pass all other seals to others
then we put someone who has no seals in top 3 for the next set of 3 top 3 runs(set of 3 cuz of 3 areas) and repeat as needed til we all have seals, at the rate we get seals, we will complete 2-3 people per area per session, so we actualy will finish out after doing it only 6-7 times so its not too bad

IMO they should get rid of this ranking system entirely and adjust the scoring system accordingly not to use this information.

It's an absurd system that promots no-lifing.

lol @ op....

If you do it by yourself.... but that's incredibly inefficient.

The bot hysteria is pretty bad on these forums and almost always coming from people who are just wrong.
The HNM thread was full of it and all of it coming from people who clearly never participated in HNMs and had no idea what they were really talking about. Lot of assumptions based on their imaginations running wild from hearing over exaggerated horror stories.

As already mentioned, these are linkshells working together and functioning like... linkshells.

Thought I'd mention, as people start getting their seals less and less will participate and eventually it will be a lot easier to get the top 3. It's possible that you still get seals if you're in the top 3 even if the hamlet isn't rank 2 either.
