1 week later, bot is still at it, with all the same exact moves.

@Hapa Thanks for bringing this to our attention. All player reports are reviewed manually by our game moderation team. We’ve been working hard on identifying bots and have banned over 9000 since launch.

The process is too slow. I have reported tons of bots in their teens and they make it to 60 and still run free. I have seen a few on my list no longer log in but it took 3-4 months. There is one I have been reporting for 3 weeks. It was level 47 and sits at a double orichalcum spawn in ebonscale on the IP beach. Its been there 24/7 for at least the 3 weeks I have been reporting it. The bot gained 2 levels from 47-49 on JUST TWO ORICHALCUM NODES. Thats just insane. Please do better.

Anyway, thank AGS for banhammer !
Same bot sighted in-game still.
Do I need to make more videos documenting its behavior?
WHAT MORE EVIDENCE DO YOU NEED?!?!?!!
I’m almost ready to just give up reporting the same high level fishing & gathering bots since nothing is being done. I have many on my list that have been active over 2 months. In that time there may have been a possible 1-3 day ban and then they are back. It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to flag accounts consistently online 24/7 for bot activity. Especially when players are reporting them in-game as well. Ban waves are also useless and I’m sure the bots love them, it gives them time to get their money’s worth if/when they are banned. These bots need to be banned Early & Often as reports come in that AGS verifies with in-game GMs. It’s FEB now, I’m waiting for the so-called crack down on bots that AGS was going to do.
Were the bots banned or is a dying game not worth botting? I remember a quote from a youtube interview of a gold seller. “If we sold all the gold we already have we would be rich.”
I appreciate your response and the fact you ARE banning some bots. However, I mean no offense, but the entire purpose of this post is that you guys are not doing ENOUGH. If a bot achieves level 60 that is quite a bit of time, even just farming 24/7 that they have been running around the world. I run loops I run on the regular to gather as I am one of my companies main production guys. And I see these bots every day. I have gotten to the point where I am adding in the number of reports I have sent on each one. One of the lvl 60 bots is on report number 25.
You should be able to pull the data and see a character running a straight loop and only farming specific nodes. And if you don not have this ability I’d highly suggest you guys add some kind of ability to.

Watch how the bot I’ve been reporting has the exact same movements on multiple instances at different notes. I don’t know how much more evidence you need.

Same bot, 3 days later.
if they had half the fucking brain… in a MMO they would have everything on a spread sheet for item ID and their #'s corresponding to it… each wep, node, etc would have a number assigned to it… this is LITERALLY basic game dev-ing 101… Oh im sorry thats too much to ask of the team…
I don’t think personally attacking the devs is particularly constructive, I worked in the gaming industry, things are not as cut and dry as most think
If you think you can do better (which seems you do), feel free to fill out a resume and prove it.
Is NW perfect? NO, is it a flaming dumpster fire that some of the more vocal folks act like it is, NO.
I have played since launch day, and still find this game fun, regardless of the bugs and this is still one of the more fun social games I’ve played. There is a big difference between giving constructive feedback with evidence and just being toxic.
Good for you? i did too.
never said they were??? My point is that MOST of the shit SHOULD of been fixed in beta(from alpha), but instead the devs choosed to ignore it… not to mention they keep ADDING more shit the list which doesnt help anything, but now NOT only do they have a janky half ass broken engine that seems to break shit, but NOW the new content is breaking aswell… it NOT rocket science to realize hey lets fix the core issues first then add stuff later.
First off this is a company were talking about not some small indie company… and secondly i dont have to prove shit… there is ZERO reason why this game is in the state its in… and last they couldnt pay me enough to fix their shit.
no NW is not perfect never said it was? also YES YES it IS a burning pile of shit?! How does one company lose %95 of it’s player retention within the first fucking 3-4 months?! Like WHAT!!!.. company has EVER had that happen too(No seriously), because I’ve never heard of such things happening before…There are BUG and glitches FROM ALPHA… ALPHA FFS… that should of been fixed in beta… and same thing stuff from beta (BOTH of them) should of been fixed… but no the devs decided YET again to sweep it under the rug and now they have MAJOR issues… So yes YES they DO deserve every bit of of karma… as the saying goes “STUPID IS WHAT STUPID DOES”! (btw not yelling just emphasizing my points…)
Im glad your having fun but MOST of us arnt! Fun varies among people and considering the steam charts… I’d go as far to say MOST people arnt having fun with ALL the BS in this game… which i MIGHT add again… isnt the most complex shit… yet AGS MAKES it out to BE that way… Im a pissed of consumer because IVE BEEN a Dev before and to see the devs TIME AND TIME again BLOW smoke up people asses makes me pissed… shall i give an example… Idk like the Transfer Tokens(TT)? How long until THAT goes to be ready?!(The devs said back in Jan… now there saying feb… but prob hinting at march IIRC) But then can do servers merges shit makes NO sense!
Again MOST people HAVE BEEN doing so SINCE FUCKING ALPHA?! What have the devs done? Better comms? LMAO there about on the same lever (imo) of comms as blizztard… “ya’ll dont have phone”?! Seems familiar? The same attitude they took is the same AGS is doing… THATS NOT how to build a community?! For as people being toxic… do i blame then? NO NO i dont… after ALL that WE the community has done to “Give” that feedback to ONLY fall on deaf ears… so the shit they get… well they deserve it… Maybe if they had some dignity and pride. and they fixed there shit… things MIGHT be different, but until then its STILL going to be burning pile of trash. It seems like people have to be dickheads in order to make a point for them to finally go " Oh geez maybe this ISNT what people what…"(Again look to the stupid Mut. NO ONE asked for that crap but people WERE and STILL ARE vocal about it!?, Yet what does AGS do double and triple down on it because “It’s OUR vision”…like WTF…you people are making a GAME for the consumer…things change ALL the time…(Hence where a Roadmap comes into play…doubt they even HAVE THAT) when it SHOULD NOT get to that point… but hey WTF do i know right? Im just another DUMB consumer that must follow rules and play nice… ffs…
I’ll add this here(btw this was taken TODAY at 7:20AM CST: Screenshot - 19f65a5df67030fc9c7516405d44c140 - Gyazo Below the 50K average… (thats within a 24 HR period…) below 27K within the last 24 mins…))talk about OOF not even a YEAR into the dam game and its lost as i said above %95 of its player base.
Curious how many bots people are seeing ‘banned’ were really banned or just getting turned off because the game isn’t as lucrative anymore for them (dwindling populations / people that need or will pay for coin)

Honestly couldnt tell you man…all i know is AGS seriously needs to fix their shit before its too late…
I feel like you need to take a step back and relax some… you seem very angry for no reason. Since you obviously hate AGS, the devs and the game so much, why are you still here?
I mean EVERY single MMO out there has bots, this is absolutely nothing new. There have been a lot of really good solutions in this thread to the issue and AGS does ban them every patch. How do I know they do, because every single patch, bots that are reported regularly vanish, I doubt they are just leaving because they aren’t making money.
Beyond that, if they are, that’s fine too.
1.No im not angry
2. NO i DONT hate the AGS/Devs/or the game…
3. Im tired of seeing people get F over? the devs constantly lying and or being “grey” about shit ALL the time…
your language and the way you are trying to discuss your point say otherwise.
