Is anyone annoyed by the HUGE number of people using bots on this game?

Oh I'm sorry, what community is this? The bot-harborers league?
Mind what side you're actually on in these topics, bro.

I post about topics that are big PROBLEMS. If those PROBLEMS happen to show up themselves and get the thread locked, then at least there is attention on the PROBLEM.

The forum community that is actually larger than the in-game community? Not that the community (or SE for that matter) really cares for one little white knight trying to convince everyone in each thread that his opinion is so righteous to the cause of making the game better. You are the insignificant flea on the back of a larger beast. Get over yourself.

My stance on botting? Neutral. SE states botting is wrong so doing so, would put yourself at higher risk obviously. Do what ever the hell you want as long as you accept the risk involved and if you get banned - deal with it. Botting at the moment is making no dent on the economy what-so-ever.

You botted to 50 in every DoH? CONGRATS now you still have to go out and farm all those materials to spam your HQ3 attempts for profit- just like any other player.

You now have the option to get the best guildmark abilities maybe a WEEK before a normal human input crafter headed to R20. OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING.

There is a FSH bot that you always see in LL 24/7? CONGRATS you can do the same because they hit 250 catch Fatigue wall in 3 hours just like you would have!

You radar/claim bot against Dodore and other world spawn NMs? CONGRATS they respawn 3-4 times per night depending on how fast they are killed. It is all irrelevant.

Bot OR Don't Bot you are not affecting the game at it's current state so get the **** over it.

lol Neutral. I'd rather you just openly say you bot, know botters, think you should be able to bot, and like botting. Neutral is some sort of fail apathy that's even worse than the self-entitlement of cheating.

Nobody plays a game full of players like you. Well, except the cheaters. Lorda-day they'd run you like a farm mule and you'd let them.

its funny that you say thgis

i had some people in my LS a few weeks back who got hella mad, and defensive when i found out about the faction leve exploit(the one they fixed)
the people who are always neutral or defensive of things are usualy the ones who are doing it and dont want to lose how its done

botting happens, but its illegal, PERIOD, there no excuse for it, there is no reasoning, if you bot, you should be banned.
Same with every other exploit being abused on purpose

reminds me of a discussion i had with a former ls member, she was bitching about us thinking that the "old" punishing barbs were not just a bit but completely overpowered and they shoudl change it since its almost like an exploit and makes everything even more easy and pointless. She really got mad about it...
im happy that got taken care of pretty fast (surprisingly fast).

Well I should make it pretty clear that the bot sympathizers in this thread aren't ACTUALLY fooling anyone.
They just think they are.


"First, let's examine why botting is..."
"No how about we ban your ass and laugh first, THEN make sure you never come back."
