this is why i like playing in my nice empty 200 people world, i have yet to see farming bots and most of the time i don’t have problems with competition for resources, i think that will change once the merge comes
I am waiting to see if the group I am monitoring come back after the Trade stations are operational again. I “just happen” to be harvesting in the area as well.

bot farming on Valgrind - YouTube here another one on Valgrind. I got a bunch more on mute list ill be sharing names in a while
AGS Needs someway to deal with bots, they are getting outa hand.
they are dealt with if banned early on. the concept of botting today I assume is to just use up the ags copies they own before its thrown away by either leveling the account or selling gold as from what Ive seen in my server in Pluto. we been crowd checking them and getting them banned early on since the owner of these needs to pay 40 bucks to even repeat. then you have your actual players that user scripts to bot which makes it I assume harder to track and ban.
I found that reporting bots through the website a lot more cooperative with them checking out bots Report a Player or Company - Support | Amazon Games
I reported 2 bots that have been in my server for 2 weeks spamming text but i took pictures and sent a report and it got feedback and they got banned 2 days later.
I reported a bot through the Amazon Games Support system and they sent me back a ban appeal denial.
It’s a farce.
All bots on my Orun are still active. @Customer-Service let’s get the ball rolling on these bots. many people have reported these bots and literally none have been banned.
It’s funny and probably a coincidence but after I joined that server to grab the names of all those bots and post their in-game status on the forum above, my account is now perma banned for cheating.
So I called it, the report bots doesn’t work then. that’s why they disabled it.
I think we need to have sort sort of celebration when the first bot on Orun hits 60. A couple of them have passed 40.
Only one or two of bots are offline. @Customer-Service so far the bots accounts for about 10% of the server population as of this post.
This is only accounting for the ones I’ve found. So I wouldn’t be surprised some Servers are at 15% bots 85% real players.
Week 3+ of reporting bots in Outpost Rush like kdopw on the Camelot server. All this bot does is shoot an auto attack and crouch every few seconds at the spawn. If killed it doesn’t even respawn. Super low-effort bot. Everyone reports it because of how blatantly obvious this thing is.
If this super-simple bot hasn’t been banned and is running Outpost Rush 24/7 day after day, week after week, what hope is there for catching and banning the more advanced bots and afkers? Outpost Rush is so unfun and basically ruined for anyone who wants fair competitive games until they address this. One out of every five players on the Camelot server is a bot or afker. Absolutely ridiculous.

Well, thats actually better than having a dead server with no OupostRush at all isn’t it? I would be happy if those bots were active on our servers OR. No OR for days.
Of course its a problem if you are on an active well populated server and I agree this should be fixed as soon as possible. Maybe AGS can create some bots for OR?
That sounds more like something server mergers should be fixing and/or cross server queues could fix.
Although if they did add cross server OR queues I imagine they’d spin up entire games of 20/20 bots. Lol.
Youd think a company releasing a MMO in 2021 would have had an action plan/strategy for botting.

Wow. I am absolutely stunned at the level of ineptitude here. First of all, it should not have taken you so long to get feedback from AGS, especially with your level of documentation.
Secondly, the fact that a GS responded with a side step and “I don’t know what to do either“ is inexplicable, inexcusable, and makes me want to give up playing this game.
These bonds are literally like cancer cells within the environment; running around degrading the economy, clogging up resource nodes, And completely discouraging real players from playing the game.
Once again, it is the honest people who get the shit end of the stick - The real players are either going to stop playing or start botting themselves to even the playing field.
This is absolutely ridiculous.

Sorry for the grammatical errors, text to speech…
Well, they did not respond with “I don’t know what to do either”, but It is not their department and they will forward it to the correct one, since they cannot handle it and is not their field in CS.
meanwhile they nerfed the minimap addon to the ground while all the bots are still running around. i like how they prioritize things
haha… i can confirm that … got 3 day ban because i called my gay friend gay… one kid reported me because i said it in global …
