First bots in Aion

As for 1):
- I obviously don't condone this... but whatever. In L2 I cared more because to get to lvl 85 manually is... "impossible". I look at Aion's leveling curve like Warhammer's. Everyone will reach it eventually.

For 2)
- This is what makes or breaks a game's economy. L2's retail server economy is ran by the farmers. Without them, everything would be immensely overpriced and no one would be able to buy anything.


Also, this is a faction based game. Botters will have an easier time here than they will in L2, because in L2 anyone can kill anyone (with ramifications of course).

cool: bots running the economy != bots ruining the economy

...I'd rather have bots in Aion than wall street in Aion!

Right next to the largest city of Morheim (well, right under its main bridge), 4 bots were farming massively right next to each other, never got a chance to get a mob before them.

Anyway, dunno why I posted them here:P

Bot situation in Korea is terrible, won't judge NCWest till they show how they do it, but if Aion EU/US has the same bot issue as in Korea, the game is condemned to fail over here, we're way less forgiving.

I don't know if you understood me, but I didn't understand you.

I just said I'm giving NCwest the benefit of the doubt, but if they happen to have the same problems as the Korean game is having bots-wise, it's going to get ugly, at least for the first month till botters max the level :P

There are bot trains like everywhere now isnt even funny. This game is doomed if they dont get rid of them.

There are dumb people with guns everywhere now, we're all DOOMED if we don't get rid of them. :l

true story.

Give the smart people, like me, all the guns. I like guns.

I hope this game isn't gonna be run by bots and gold companies like many other games were.. Well bots go on freeplay games mostly (the beta was freeplay, wasn't it?), and NCSoft have a good team, so maybe we won't be affected much by the bot problem.

That bot killed a lvl1 lizzard at the end
You see these little things everywhere ranging from lvl1 or lvl2.

I saw one stuck in a small tent, was in there for 3 hours trying to jump through the back of it. Silly bots.
