Hello everyone
I have been lurking here for a while, and this looks like it will be a really awesome game. There is just one thing that worries me…
I hate bots. They ruin games. I am hoping bots do not ruin this one. Otherwise players will simply bot for gold, levels, items, crafting skills, and whatever else is of value in the game. I would like to start a “theory thread†for people to come toss around some ideas that will help make botting unprofitable or otherwise unattractive in Aion.
Some of my ideas may be a bit far fetched, but:
- Make gold drops become lower and lower as you grind for longer amounts of time. If someone has only done one hour of grinding that day, they should get much larger gold drops than someone who has been grinding for 20 hours straight (Of course, the 20 hours person would still have more gold, but at least the non-bot would not be so far behind the botter as they would have been).
-Make most solo grind-based gear of “useable†quality, but not the best. Make most of the “good†gear only achievable by quests, group endeavors/dungeons, PvP, or other activities that can not be botted.
-Make trade skills require some form of “quest†or some such that must be completed before each item is crafted.
Any other ideas or suggestions others can come up with would be nice.
