There is a bot farming Fort Ramos on every server. AGS could ban them in seconds if they wanted to. They are easy to spot and are there 24/7. I wonder how long it will take the fresh start servers to be over run in the same way?
Why it takes forever to ban the bots ???
We report the same bots for days & weeks and no one does anything to ban them !!!
Been reported the same bots everyday in the game, did submited ticket with evidence as well, and the support team is sleeping or is not existing at all?!
I feel shame for AGS not solving bots even after a whole year. Since I want to contribute, this is my post about anti bot system.
Shoot last night seen 2-5 running around level 40 + no company. You beat them out to a node they stop briefly and path to the next one. Ironically skipping some of the smaller nodes. I mean its blatantly obvious that is a botting activity. Was doing some gathering waiting for the group finder, did the dungeon came back and that bot still doing the same circle.
Its not bot problem to much ppl, to lessstuff to farm.
You came to wood spot and its empty, you go to another,… empty… but you never considered its 2k ppl online and about 700 farming in open world and you blame bots ;D
nah…we do consider. but seems like you have no idea how smooth the bots these days…almost legit like a real player with their light armour to move faster, fast nodes scan…mosly bots now are lvl 60 and no longer factionless to avoid suspicious. “normal” player wont be able to recognise them.
Bots will be on the fresh start servers and the economy will need them. Without the bots there would be nothing to buy on the TP and or prices would be much higher for resources. Thats the main reason why AGS don’t do much about the bots, it’s like cheap labour, it keeps the economy going. If the TP was cross server then you wouldn’t need the bots to keep individual economies going and then AGS could actively remove the bots.
yep, i know there’s always someone like you…
there are 3 possible facts here…
- you’re an ignorance,
- you’re the bot owner,
- you have no idea wht you talkin about…
'nough said from me…
I agree, enough said from you, you know nothing.
I hate bots, I never buy from the TP and I farm all my resources myself. I spend a lot of time trying to trap bots with tents and killing the bots that are flagged over and over again when I notice the route/ spawn point.
Bots will be on fresh start servers, it doesn’t matter how much it upsets you or how much you don’t want to believe it, it’s a fact! Deep down you know it’s true. Just because I was correct about the reason why AGS isn’t doing anything about the bots doesn’t mean you have to lash out and throw a tantrum.
Going by the fact that I stated that if the TP was cross server then AGS would then be able to actively remove the bots and you didn’t like it, I would conclude that you are an ignorant bot user and have no idea what you are talking about. 
There is an “easy” way to fix this issue. Make resource nodes respawn location random. From what I noticed, most bot programs work by following the fixed node locations. Making it spawn random, in the same area, might reduce the number of bots. This will also fix the issue with people camping nodes
I’m not a programmer but we are in 2022, this should be possible
If bots were necessary for the economy AGS would introduce them. The act of saying they are necessary in their current form is just saying its fine to cheat and just buy gold of these parasites.
Once the trade post is cross server, I am sure there will be enough listings that AGS will actually ban the bots. Till then I doubt they will do anything about it.
Fresh servers got swarmed by bots too lol, at first i thought there are some newcomers , after i followed them around for a while & where was supposed to be resources they was hit 3-4 times in mid air and move on to next supposed node spot.
AG need a team of 24/7 GM’s to take efficient measures against bots. What they posted almost 1y ago that they take it serious wasn’t proven yet.
Problem aint solve and wont be solve. They do not care. Let’s face it.
I am surprised to say that on maramma (US EAST) I have seen next to none on the bots since BS release, either they shifted to botting resources in BS or moved on to fresh start worlds. I did see what I expect to be a bot running starmetal up in BW but when I asked in global if he was botting, they mustve logged off because I didnt see them anymore. IDK but im loving the fact its not fighting bots and that Im actually fighting real players for resources. But even then most of the other players are gold farmers themselves. Players with names like yurasan12 or some other south east asia name with numbers. Im still waiting to see another name that says 430 instead of 429 lol.
It’s really sad when you see NW streamers stating openly that they love bots because they fill buy orders cheaply.
just put mobs around each nodes !
Actually bots are also included with auto battle script. They mostly run with GA and just spam aoe ability. That all they do. Its not accurate most of the time but I’ve seen them do it.
lol you know the EU servers are just as bot infested right
of course, but this is not as big problem as it is for us servers, where you have literally waves of brainless cheaters from south etc.
so yea, you can deny or you can just accept facts.
it’s known fact not even from today, and not for only on this game… the biggest amount of cheaters are coming from south america, I won’t say country name out loud, but I think we both know, right?
