What is your character name in New World: Cogumas
What server/world did you experience your issue on: Devaloka Sa East
Describe the issue you are experiencing: Many bots are taking the resouces, so the only option is using money to buy, it’s not a deal loosing time gathering, when there is someone making it auto.
Is this a bug or an exploit: exploit, or a hack, I think.
(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: it was fun to take the mote with him, but once, and he probably have the night ahead. The bot name was “fgyt”, as you can see. He led me to many spots, and as as able to beat the machine.
(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: Bearly, the life it’s not easy at all man.
Server/world: Castle of Steel - Arkadia Xi - US East
Is this a bug or exploit: Exploit, hack, Bot. Not sure what word to use for this if not all of the above.
How issue affected my game play: I have experience the same issue all afternoon yesterday until 5 am today. I have seen not only one but about 5 or 6 taking the resources that we really need for our skills and crafting. It’s been hard to find resources and had to end up buying them. At the time didn’t take screenshot or video because I didn’t put too much thought on that matter. I even had one sending me a DM with a website to buy gold, I did reported right away and kept going with my quests.
Were you able to recover from issue: Not really, had to spend a lot of my gold buying what I needed to be able to do my crafting for the day. I enjoy running around harvesting what I need but bots make it difficult for me as well as others.
Screenshot or video: None at the moment but if it happens again sure I will for sure.
What are the steps to reproduce the experienced issue: gather resources.
Bots run rampant around midnight at my server, you would think you can finally farm resources on off-hours while 50-70% of the active players are finally offline but nope I literally see a train of 3-10 bots running around a route to farm resources.
A more practical solution is to implement “Player kill” (PK) mode similar to Black Desert Online, allow us to kill players/bots even if they are unflagged but it will enable anyone including players at the town flagged or unflagged to attack us anytime once we reached a certain threshold of kills (every kill will increase our personal bounty and receive moderate to severe penalty for dying). The victims shouldn’t be penalized ofc other than inconvenience of respawn. No rewards for killing unflagged players too ofc, so there is no real tangible reward for it only risk. A risk I’m willing to take if it means killing bots so we get to farm our resources lol.
