A VERY easy way for NCSoft to get rid of 90% of bots without having to do anything or hire anyone.

[Hlep]

change the way rifts work - no limits, no rules, open 24-7.

i promise you, your legit players will flood in and exterminate your pest problem.

[Wisemage]

Yes, remove the bots.

Also, lets make it impossible for anyone from the range of 20+ to below 40 impossible to level.

[Entrilius]

The ONLY thing that would come of this is give free AP points to people and make lower levels have harder time leveling ... and no it would not stop the botters.

meh, you prob need to toughen up a little. i leveled from 25-36 grinding/pvping in the abyss and will continue to level in here till 50. sure i fight people higher level than me all the time. however, i deal and learn my place on the food chain.

i doubt leveling in the pve areas where there are "safe" towns/npc ports everywhere will be as hard as leveling in the abyss. even if it does become harder, its sitll a good thing. more people will start playing in the abyss and we will have a even spread between ground vs aerial zones.

this game was advertised as a PvPvE game not PvE and PvP game.

... it does make the "grind" more interesting when you're always fearful of getting ganked. I like this idea.

If they do that, all the carebears will cancel. Not a good idea.

You suck and your "idea" sucks even more. My proof? The fact that bots are already running in the abyss where they generally cannot use a waypoint to get back to their spot after death pretty much destroys any hope that your "solution" would do anything in a situation where it's easy for the bot to get back to it's spot. Your "solution" would only make it impossible for anyone to level from 25 till 40ish and while you believe it'd be fun to get ganked every 5-20 minutes by a marauding group of 50s I can assure you most people aren't so simple minded. I have a feeling you like this idea because you enjoy the thought of ganking helpless nubs at your convenience.


I never understood the "joy" of ganking people that I cannot hear QQ. You might as well be killing NPCs and in most cases you'd get more AP..


EDIT : Your title is also wrong because in order to implement your "idea" they would have to do something (change the code controlling the rifts obviously)..

[Sama98b]

Daily opcode (server/client communication codes/commands) updates bots would become useless.

[jor8888]

what dont u get? they dont want to get rid of the bots when 33% of their sub are from bots.

Yes I'm aware that you're just trolling but there's utterly no misery to feed off of in this game as I stated earlier. Why don't you go kick a kitten to make yourself feel better about your existence?

[Cerulean2009]

I find it funny how when someone disagrees with anu OP one of there first comments is then leave the game.

That is the last thing you should want!
Sure lets get rid of the bots and nyerk everyone else off to leave so there is no one left. Nice plan.

Also this game is PvPvE as advertised as it currently stands. You can do PvP before you even get Abyss access and changing the rifts will not stop bots, they will adapt and continue.

[Eal]

its called the abyss, just go there if you dont like bots....

And how will it stop the bots?
He will give you 0 ap (since he never was in abyss and didnt earn any) and will run back to his farming spot every time he dies. Real players will get really nyerked of with ress killing while bots doesnt really care. You will get bored with killing bots faster then nuclear power stations in china will run out of fuel and till then they will keep coming back 3 minutes after you kill them.

Also bots in Europe are not very advanced yet. I played Aion KR and all bots had alarm system there. Means if you attack one bot all bots around him would agro and kill you, even those controlled by different owners.
