Ok This is not a hard problem to fix but AGS seem to be doing nothing about these Fkers, all they need to do is have a GM that can go to and ban them on the spot rather than days and days of an unqualified person looking at logs that the bots are able to make look like a human.
I have spotted 5 in the past hour and only seen 1 real person so from my point of view bots are out and about more than players. Besides the fact that it just pees me off that I have to race a bot to collect a node they are ruining the market(Not as if it needed any help due to the gold dupes).
These bots now go to town and go to storage and the trading post so looking at logs will make it look like they are real players and as far as I can tell it takes days for them to get banned by which time they have made enough gold to buy the game again and start over hence why faster action is needed and an in-game GM could just simply go to the area and ban them on the spot meaning everytime you spot one you just type "@GM Bot at XXXXX) and they teleport there and ban them if they think they are, which is easy to tell.
The game was already going downhill fast but it will drop even faster when 10% of the players are bots.
