Bots farm mainly in the low level zones and bring cheaper the base resources which is kinda making it easier for us. Haven’t seen bots getting of the higher tier resources everyone fights about

I see the bots on high level stuff, it’s just more spread out and never where they have to fight something. On my server there is almost always a bot running the ori nodes in southern reekwater, ive stayed there long enough to see their frackin shift change over lol

Always see both sea water fishing hotspots in First Light farmed by bots. Same goes for the hotspots on the south and east sides of Reekwater. East side of Shattered Mountain. South of Ebonscale Reach. Almost every fishing hotspot in my server (Nysa) which is safe from monsters will be camped by bots.
As a fisherman, this just makes me not want to play the game.

I also can confirm that on Dry Tree server for example in windsward forests there more bots farming resourses than real pkayers. This us unbeliavable.
Crowds of bots is one of the biggest problems of New World.
I think a ping lock would help stem the majority of the bots and farmers.
Bottom line if you want something done about it. stop being complicit in fueling it. Boycott the cash shop and boycott buying any type of mats you know they heavily farm from the TP. Do this for a short while and you will see AGS change their tune real fast.
I’m on the server El Dorado and the bots in First Light are out of control. I’ve been reporting them multiple times a day for the last couple of days. I just came back to the game a few weeks ago and saw a few at first but First Light is heavy with the bots it’s discouraging.
I still suggest random silver elite mob spawns on any harvest.

They should move the corrupted portal spawns around randomly so the bots get eaten by corrupted.

Software Engineer, here.
Detecting bots is stupid, dumb, batshit easy.
It’s a financially-motivated choice not banning them. That is all.
To me this sounds like there must be more bots then actual players if it’s somehow making them more money instead of getting rid of them.
With the servers filling up again, it would make sense to clear out the bots to allow actual players in. If you buy a game that has been out for this long and supposedly “dead”, you dont expect to wait an hour to get in. Removing bots has to be more cost effective than having to open new servers?
I know some people say they have never seen a bot but they are quite easy to spot.
They even have companies now to try and hide what they are!
There are large amounts of them in the starter areas and again, for a new player this is going to be off putting as they cant find the resources they need to advance their skills or complete quests. As long time players we know where to go but new players dont.
If there were GM’s, they just need to see who is reporting them and go look to see for themselves and can instantly ban them before they are moved to higher level areas after spending days leveling mining etc and reaching level 60.
Having a players name in the trade post would also be helpful. Many other MMO’s do this already.
