    Remove Frontline experiece NOW - Group majority of bots

    Aether frontlines are literally infested with bots. The past few hours there's been alliances where the bots vastly outnumber the players

    Earlier I had a run where adders had *four* active players and 20 bots/afk.

    This is completely unacceptable and makes running frontlines absolutely impossible.

    And these are just the ones I got in the shot at the time.

    I actually just had a weird group of bots too...it was frightening as hell.

    But....removing exp? You may be overreacting a little. PVP queues take 5 minutes instead of 30-60 so....ya I think the ratio of of bots to no bots groups is low and that PVP actually being active makes up for a chance of possible bots.

    How about no. While it's unfortunate, just report/kick them when possible. Some of us like doing one of our favorite activities AND being able to progress in the game. If I couldn't level through PvP you'd have one less healer a lot of the time and lose a nice chunk of the active population that has surged in as well.

    If it becomes enough of a problem SE will come up with something to make it easier to get rid of them

    I actually just put that as clickbait to make sure people would have a look, but there's been several games today where the bots outnumber the players. It's something SE needs to deal with quickly. It's difficult to kick them out when it's 6/8 players in your party.

    PvP xp was nerfed, so people feel more inclined to just not try when they see they are losing.

    Its no big surprise to see people standing around cause they are in last place. Looking at the point values in your picture the most efficient thing to do in that situation is... stand around and let maelstrom win so you can go into another match.

    Not a good way for folks to take you seriously when you admit you created clickbait. At least you're honest about it

    I'd like to hope something like this would motivate them to finally be a little more active in banning bots of all sorts, not just RMT, but I doubt it.

    It's pretty frustrating to see all of my server's habitual botters slowly botting their way through the MSQ unimpeded (Well, aside from their scripts failing and making them either do nothing or kill themselves on things they can't beat repeatedly).

    so easy kills? kill them and if they don;t get up or re spawn in safe zone they get kicked for inactivity. Had that and was funny how it became a 2 nation battle :P

    I would be OK in principle with PvP giving now EXP.

    It really is sad how pathetic this community is sometimes though. Every nice thing botters can ruin, they will.
