Problem with rampant farming bots and player cheats

After talking to many people on the server i play on, it comes down to the same thing. People are getting demoralized with the amount of bots farming resources, making it hard for the casual player to gather anything to further their craft. Countless times these bots are reported for days/weeks on end to no avail. Logging back in and there they are running around the same route gathering the same resources. It is very obvious that they are bots in their behavior, lack of interaction with other players, the fact you can catch them on placing tents on their routes. There are many videos to highlight this.

Furthermore the cheating/hacking of in game players with enhancements such as aim bots speed hacks, exploiting bugs to further their own means. Just had an OPR where getting “crit” for 10k from a musket through an obstacles multiple times, the constant head shots from the distance they are camped without missing, at some point we have to admit is beyond just “skill”.

What I would like, what I think the player base DESERVES is an explanation, why is this being allowed? what steps specifically are being taken to rid the game of this. I know my server isn’t the only one plagued with these issues.

Thank you.

Interesting as I have the impression that similar observation can maybe be done around the world.

Bots were always present at New World, starting with fishing bots, then some dumb mining bots and so on. But, subjectively felt, never in big numbers. With low population servers, I had even the impression bots were a dying species.

Suddenly since apprx. 3 to 4 weeks, there is horde of bots on our server. You encounter them everywhere. Running wild around gathering here and there, killing and skinning something, without focus and aim, badly equipped, but constantly increasing their level.

What happend ? New Bot-Software on the market ? Due to Server-Mergers bigger market for them ?

Observation on EU-World Albraca, maybe you had similar observation on other worlds.
