Please purge some bots on Dynamis. They're making real players wait in queues.

[whatinthe]

Logging into Marilith at 11:50pm PST and met with a queue of 110. Yes a short queue, but when the PF is empty, no hunt trains, no S ranks no nothing, it's telling how many bots there are. Stand at the Gridania main aetheryte and see more bots than people. You see bots with non-sensical names, teleporting in and suddenly disappear (clip underground).

A simple player search with no first name and first name, level 1-99 will show a list with overwhelmingly more bots than actual people. Funny, 50 bards at level 50 all at the roost watching cutscenes at the same time, and another 30 around level 13 at central shroud to name a few.

Why are those obvious bots not purged on a daily basis?

There's literally over 100 bots in New Gridania alone on Marilith/Maduin, and that's a single main city, the same goes for limsa/uldah

they actually just dont care

It's shameful really, crafting on front of the GC at New Grid you can see the lala bots fly all over the place behind the counter where the npcs are, coming from the ground and go up in the air

But hey at least we have a "special task force"

lmao

Yes, bots are a problem. They do get purged on an almost daily basis - and those creating them just make more. Easy enough to set up the free trial accounts then upgrade them to paid status using fictitious/stolen payment information once they near the 300k cap for free trial accounts.

But a minute queue time to wait to get into the game isn't going to kill you. You can always get up and get a drink or something during that minute.

I guess I was lucky. I was 68th in queue trying to log onto my Maduin alt tonight. I only had to wait 30 seconds.

Nobody? No? Ok. I'll do it.

Purge SOME bots on Dynamis? So some are ok? What's the criteria? Do we get rid of the botanists but keep the miners? Do we ban only Lalafell bots and force some Roe Mammas to come forth with their beauty and stun us all with their glorious muscles? A woman who can eat like I do, lift more than I can and can carry me up the stairs at the end of a long day...

I'm for this. I am 1000% for this. BRING FORTH THE ROE MAMMAS! MY BODY IS READY!

I think it may also be related to how people are going to Dynamis right now trying to get solo instances in Fall Guys. There are a lot of Traveler tags on Mari right now.

No, it's the bots. It was happening even before Fall Guys. The numbers are just slightly higher now. Before Fall Guys, the queues would be in the 30-60 range.

It's because they are gaming the system using a smaller player sample. Less people queing means more wins for their title. Which was fine. I was never going to win anyway, but seeing someone coming over for this of all things stings. Given how bad our queues are for everything else. It reminds me of Ardbert in Heavensward. "Now you deign to awnser our prayers!? I will suffer this farce no longer. "

The irony in the selfish masses coming to little ole Dynamis for easy wins while the people of Dynamis go without bodies for queues. We finally have some sort of edge, and they exploit it. I'd say I'm not surprised, but that's pretty standard human behavior. Selfish animals as we are, at least we are constant.

But to the matter at hand, the bot problem is an embarrassment. You can sit in Limsa and watch them fly. Literally watch them fly. I'm not sure how you're gonna fix it, to be honest. At this point, it's a force of nature. The more they ban, the more sprout out of the ground.

I can understand increased queues due to people trying to get easy Fall Guys victories, but why would bots suddenly be interested in the DC because of Fall Guys?

Don't Hate The Player, Hate The Game.

Or do like most 2077 players and Party Like it's 2023.

Jokes aside, we can't get mad at something being done against a system that doesn't work out the best way.
Only Cause it looks like it counteracts another issue.

Both can coexist.
Absolute BS how Dynamis is empty, but I expect alot of TEARS and Pain once DT comes around, which will force many communities to grown in Dynamis to even progress.
Which tbh, it has needed Lockdowning for awhile.
[if anything, it'll create a Springboard for any aspiring Streamer/YouTuber to run their own Clear4X]
Should of Locked Down Ages ago, but DT is a good Push.

As for fallguys, we'll, it was bound to happen.
It'll show devs that the arbitrary number doesn't make players want to bear with, the longer it goes on.

Besides, Many previously have suggested hosting Their "Community" Events in Dynamis, Cause Free Playerless RealEstate.

Ontopic though, Why Haven't they Fn added Killfloors Yet?!
So easy to just find where they at, and just add a level where they just Disappear.

Hell, make it warp em to a New GM Jail where it sorts them out.(in the case someone got snatched along with the drones)

Would solve some of the BS in other content as well.
