Why are pvp bots still a thing?

You're fighting a losing battle. SE will continue to ignore you until you get enough people together to express your discontent with how they've handled bots.

Right now, I want you to go over to the PvP forums, and check the first 4 pages, and tell me what seems to be the most mentioned topic.

I'll save you a trip:

I'm Done

Frontlines bots
PvP botters are ruining PvP Frontline
Bots in PVP


. . . And I can find more than that. Shall I? Or is that not "enough people"?

Nothing will be done unless it happens on the JP servers. Only way to force SE to look at it.

Hear that, SE? Are JP subscriptions more important or more worth being supported properly than NA ones?

JP servers apparently lack this issue as well.

The botting in PVP was when we NA players started wondering if SE cared about our side of the game at all. It's been a pretty disheartening seeing this stuff happening. Yoshi-P only found out RMT spam was so unbelievable on NA servers when he logged into one for LL and was promptly BOMBARDED with RMT tells and shouts. It's been almost squashed now.

Botting basically makes PVP modes borderline unplayable. We've come up with a ton of solutions to get these leeching players to leave us PVP fans alone, but SE won't change anything or even acknowledge the problem.

Maybe they simply got it squashed?

It's a single thread on the second page and only got 2 pages, so it clearly isn't a hot topic. I missed it when looking for "bots" the first time I tried to decipher the gibberish of google translate.

Can someone explain to me the point of botting pvp? Like for what end result?

Easy way to get EXP (from what people are saying)

[Shouko]

SE doesn't care too much is the obvious answer and they fall under the radar of them. As far as I know bots will never die as every time we find a way to shut them down, the creators find a way to counter the counters and they just come back. Unfortunately the laws are different in every country and nothing can really be done about the websites, except for them to be blocked from being searched.

50 Poetics, 50 Creation, 20 Mendacity, 500 Wolf Marks.
Below 70, it's also decent for XP and still gives Poetics/Wolf Marks.

Wolf Marks can be turned into Company Seals, as can Poetics. If they added hunt marks as well, it'd be a one-stop supermarket of battle currencies.

Seriously? I knew about the xp and the wolf marks, but didn't know about them able to turn them into other currency.

SE needs to make the opposite happen, I have no desire to PvP but we should be able to turn in seals or w/e for wolf marks to get the gear.

(Decent-ish because, well... we're talking about botting activities, not legitimate activities)

Oh snap! I didn't know the gear could be turned into seals. I should do my daily pvp roulette at the very least then. Thanks for the tip!
