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.

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.

I'll save you a trip:

. . . 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?

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)

[Kisama]

I wouldn't really be surprised if Square didn't even know about the bot issue. Given their response to the squadron LB thing, the NA team probably doesn't even give the developers any feedback.

50 Poetics, 50 Creation, 20 Mendacity, 500 Wolf Marks.
Below 70, it's also decent-ish for XP and still gives Poetics/Wolf Marks.
(Decent-ish because, well... we're talking about botting activities, not legitimate activities)

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.

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.

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.

You didn't know about expert delivery...?

You use the wolf marks to buy cheap accessories from the vendors (the 180 ones), then hand them in at your GC headquarter to get Company Seals instead. 500 wolf marks are 1035 Company Seals.

Don't get confused, it's not a direct conversion.
