Malloc-KT Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 So I heard NC is looking after the server and has taken care of the bots and all but I saw earlier today a group which was not botting and had a great set up 1 templ 1 cleric 1 chant rest glads seemed solid https://imgur.com/a/jesRcZj Thoughts ?

Arhangelos Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I loled on this thread. I also saw a lot of plates on bot groups, they do not die easily and they do not need half an MP bar to kill one mob like my Sorc needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wex Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 NCSoft should hire me as a GM. I could legit ban like 20 of these bottrains in just 5minutes. Stop slacking @ ncsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvie Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 What are these bots doing? I see them running the same mobs over and over again in Theo and other places, but I can't work out the motive. Are they paid subscriptions? Are they just for leveling? Are they farming something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arazith-IS Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 When they have multiple accounts, often on one PC...those minuscule amounts add up. I agree that most players find them annoying, but they exist for a reason. This is honestly the reason why I don't mind the candies in the Quna shop, it helps try and limit these kinah sellers. Whales are gonna whale, there is no changing that behavior, I would rather they put money into NCsoft's hands than with those annoying bots.

I watched a level 22 bot group farming Kerubs in Theo. and out of curiosity of the rewards, I killed a few mobs. About 200 kinah per mob, which means you have to kill 5,000 mobs to make a million kinah, which is divided across the group. Plus you would need 6 subscriptions to make it viable for more than 1hr per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as how do they afford it as a business, I have no clue XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they are looking after. Same bot groups and legions in front of Bel Fort over last few days. I have watched bots I reported level from 25 to 33 and still going. There is even a guy in Slag over last few days named Pyuuui and he stands in the little guard area and shoots worms at 70 to 80 meters away.

These bots kill thousands of mobs per day and most likely have a few accounts that they send the loot too in order to sell it on the broker to generate kinah to sell.

I remember this kind of problem in Guildwars 1, so the devs introduced anti-farming code. Basically if a mob has been killed more than a certain number of times in an hour it stops dropping anything for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ydya Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Yeah saw these groups in Beluslan yesterday. Was like 3-4 bot groups and had a hard time getting my own mobs done. Great for gathering though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely prefer something like over what was introduced in retail which is no mobs drop anything at all. The game essentially became a reward type system thru acquiring items thru quests and turning them in for whatever you need. Really killed world pvp and anyone genuinely likes to farm.

Not all groups are gold sellers, Seen player accounts use groups of bots to just get them to 30 to get the Daevanion armor set.. As for a full set you would need 6 characters to lvl 30 and people are nyerking lazy and NC really don't care by feel of it when reporting bots.. May be why some are grouped with diff classes just to get lvling done faster as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
