Attestant Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I think there are some issues with the Siel's Energy Model. There are two big ones I can think of. Siel's Energy Model is compatible with bots. Siel's Energy Model is compatible with people sock puppeting and trolling. With the full subscription model, you can eliminate botting and restrict who posts on the forums to just customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attestant Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 I would like to add that everyone who wants Siel's Energy / Subscription, should have to pay for it, no exceptions. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Bots subscribe in KR so they will more than likely subscribe here as well. Also WoW and FF14 have bots so subscription model does nothing against bots. The only way to deal with bots is pro-active solutions like having a gm.

Botting is a matter of scaling, yes they can subscribe, but it still hurts them when they have to. It also makes it easier to keep them out when caught.

Guest Unforgiven Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Thats a good point. The free version they say is also for the casual player, but casual players arent going to be interested if they cant gain kinah and items. Most people I know that play casual will play on the weekends, but will play for 2 or 3 hours Sat and 2 to 3 hours Sunday. With this model it is pointless. better to drop free mode and offer 30 day free trail. Also people playing for 1 hour are going to be real upset when another player comes along and kills them and just wasted their time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thread is about bots, I told you how a full subscription model will not fix a bot issue and that the only way for it to be fixed is active GM's. Pretty sure it was on topic.

Guest Vinley Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 KR requires a SSN to even make an account plus a subscription and they still ban thousands a week and it doesn't seem to make a dent in the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need multiple things to combat botting. I was just suggesting one of many that should be deployed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bots just jack up the price of kinah subscription or f2p it does not matter. The subscription model we got is fine changing it would not fix the botting issue, We know this because the original Aion suffered from massive amounts of bots with the subscription model you are talking about..

5sB1C19-DN Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Every game has bots and this game was infested with it at launch and that's not going to change. The game was even p2p and it had tons. It won't matter about siels energy because the casual player will see that and the price of a poorly managed game and play something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubei-DN Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Bots will always be around. Even FFXIV is plagued by them and there's no denying that, the difference is they have an active team actually doing something against it, and those same bots even purchase the game and subscription, though that doesn't tend to last long. I'm not too fond of the 1 hour free, because it gives too much access and there will be abusers. Trading, broker, party, loot and anything that is social related should be restricted at all times for free trial, 1 hour free or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arhangelos Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Guys you can't reply to this with "bots will still exist either way". This is irrelevant to the thread itself. The thing is that the 1 hour window is only going to cause issues with bots having the ability to farm even for 1 hour. Nobody can actually play 1 hour per day and call it gaming as a legit real player. That 1 hour window won't make f2p a thing by any means but it would defo give bots a free to bot ability. Someone with 24 accounts can pretty much farm 24/7 free of charge, the only thing he will have to do is play 1 account per hour. BUT that makes finding all his bots a much harder thing than having 1 subscribed botter that plays his account 24/7. Can you really accuse someone of botting because his char was killing mobs for 1 hour? Anyone can do it , but a bot that kills mobs non stop of 15 hours every day is defo a bot. I know you can spot a bot even if you never saw that before by the way it acts and kills and GMs have ways to find it better I guess, but having to deal with more bot accounts is always going to be harder and we know that NCWest is never dedicated enough to this.

They support botting, you won't get any decent conversation out of them. Cannot stress enough that these types of people are just as bad as Aion Live terrorists that come over to pollute our forum with their crap.

Quote The only way to deal with bots is pro-active solutions like having a gm. You think your own opinion then when someone gives you an actual viable solution you go not relevant to my thread. I also told you how subscriptions do not stop bots all the major MMORPG's prove this. So what is this thread accomplishing other than you complaining about something that will not be changed? Since we are getting 1.2 at release we will more than likely be getting the direct cash shop based RMT so bots mean nothing(In terms of p2w since ncsoft seem to be supplying that).
