    Eureka is totally unplayable now

    There are more than 2/3 people are bots in Eureka now.
    They aren't only breaking economy of this game, but also make people need take 15 minutes to trigger a NM and take another 15 minutes to beat them.

    And what is even worse is the handling of SEs
    Even if you spend 20 minutes writing down all the bots IDs and report.
    Those bots are still alive weeks later.
    They will never be banned because SE don't care at all.

    If the officials don't think Eureka is worth any of your work.
    PLEASE JUST DELETE EUREKA!


    Edited:
    For those one who can't image how does these bots impact NM difficulty.

    Been doing Eureka for the last couple days. Haven't had any problems whatsoever. I've run into some bots, but for the most part the place is way less vile than it used to be. People remain active, and most of them are quite courteous. You've got your occasional douche that insists on pulling everything instantly, but that is to be expected. We let those people die. >_>

    Oh, and Pagos can return to whatever burning dumpster hell dimension it came from.

    Maybe you're just on a dead/bot-infested DC but Eureka on Aether is perfectly playable. Try DC hopping over here and seeing if it's any better.

    Why? I fail to see why bots would be a reason to delete an entire gamemode.

    Remove the gil from those bunny chests.

    It still wouldn’t do anything to the lockbox botters though.

    Oh and.. if that really happens gotta say goodbye to one of the easiest, braindead money maker :c

    Oh, bots reappear in Eureka?
    Yea, SE really has a problem to get rid of them.

    But beside that, 1-3 bots will not make Eureka unplayable.
    NM spawning is mostly random and you need 30-60+ monster Kills to spawn them, not matter if you are alone or in full instance.

    And when you need 15 min to kill a Fate, then there are other problems then a few bots.
    Maybe you are underleveled, or you do everything alone instead of going with the other player's, or you don't spin your element wheel into the offensive element/ have it set to 1/1/1/1/1 instead of all into one.

    Also, Eureka and BA are one of the most active side contents.
    It is easier to find a group to clear BA then it is for PotD/HoH, DRs or to just play rival wings.

    In fact, there are more than "only" 1-3 robots
    There are usually 24/30 are bots in Gaia and I have seen 46/50 are bots.
    More and more people give up EW in JP because they need more than 15 minutes to kill NM bosses in Pagaos and Pyros.
    Because the NM bosses HP is based on numbers of people in Eureka, and 4 human can't do any damage even if you have full Eureka+2 gears.

    This thread always pops up every so often. You want a solution? Stop caring about the bots because they will do nothing about it. Move to a more populated server or play Eureka during prime times. Reporting anything in this game is a waste of your time.

    24 are a few more then the 2-3 you said initially.

    Are they really bots and not just player's who only do the bunny fate?

    I remember that EU had about 10 bots last year for a couple of months.
    They are finally mostly gone now.

    Tbh, I can't imagine that a JP DC has a bigger problem then NA and EU.

    Maybe it's time that they changed Eureka so it doesn't encourage this anymore.

    But cutting the grind down tenfold.

    I did Eureka not long ago for my Drk weapon and never did see any bots there. Only problem I found in there was most the time there was 20 or less players in it.
