Bots in Frontlines - Do something.

[Zsolen]

It's easy to kill as MCH.... I've soloed some healers before.

I'm curious.

Did anyone translate what they had to say about the botting situation during the recent live letters Q&A? They seemed to mostly be talking about the PvP bots.

Still doubt anything is going to change in the long run, though...

Please do something about botters in pvp. Feel extremely disappointing to start a Frontline and see 6 to 7 members afk at base ignoring everything knowing you're going to lose in such pathetic way. I happened to meet several of these bots that either stand afk at base or move in line automated. Some of these bots also have The Legend title giving us concern that cheats out of the known Ungarmax may have been used as already happened for speed hacking/pomander cheats to earn their clears. Apart from RMT bots there are lot bots owned from players that constantly gather/craft in the overworld affecting game economy.These bots have been directly affecting pvp content too for several past few months since got added exp reward. Something has to be reworked in the current Frontline system in order decrease bots activity or limit it.
This Tread has just reached over 1000 views in few weeks.Is something that concern a decent amount of the pvp community.
Please pass our concern to development team and let us know if something being done about it to save Frontlines thanks

They already did pass people's concerns during the live letter.

Their response was basically "Keep reporting the bots". I suppose we'll just have to see if the number of bans in coming weeks actually indicates whether they're stepping things up or not.

There was a noticeable lull in the activity of two major gathering bots on our server, and I also noticed the crafter they normally supply (Who also spends like 99% of his time botting to spam craft infusions) cleaning out the market of materials, which seems to suggest that they may have actually gotten a temporary ban, which would be slightly encouraging considering that they had previously gone untouched for months...

I didn't use frontline for several monthes, and now, I think, better it were bots . Seriously, what happened during that time? Teams, I joining now not just pug teams, in pug teams someone usually trying to command and etc. My current teams consist of pugs in despair, that have no hope at all. I saw wins few times, but that were like miracle. One more miracle and I will get blue sphere mount, but what to do next depends of what happened. Is frontline moved to total premade domination and I should trying to find pvp linkshell? Or maybe it is GC problem, all skilled people trying to gather in one GC, and I should wait while they gather in mine?

[Forcelash]

Really why cant I just join the bots an go afk 24/7 for free 70s an tokens lol

As for finding people to play with, check out the Wolf Pups Den discord! ^_^

Thanks, I will try, though it looks like feast dedicated.

I suggest inviting a friend or group of friends to make a pre-made team. Frontlines is a lot more fun when you're playing with your friends, especially with other pre-mades queuing.

Problem that friends who like pvp do not want to try FF, and I can't blame them - battlegrounds here are really worst battlegrounds I ever saw, even among trash-mmo's.

It is subjective.
WoW BG only made me want to TK my own pug teammates every time we run into a premade.
FF14 Frontline, at least I have a better chance to cause a premade team a loss.
It wont be one side massacre.

Discussions like "Is more random good for BG?" are really subjective. Number of BG matches per active player per day is objective. I doubt you have illusions that wow players less involved in pvp. Of course I can't say for all games and I didn't, only those, I played, though doubt it is possible something more dead than Astrologos .

P.S. I do not count feast as BG, ranked arena is another thing, though it is not so good here also.

I mean, this is just a random thought and I know it won't work in every match but...how about we start with the.....4 HOUR KICK TIMER!

WHY?!?!?! Who thought a 1 kick per 4 hours was a good idea? As if you won't have 2 bots or people afk in a match back to back
