13 pages, has there been a single response from a GM?
Back in the old day, you paid $10/mo/account, so banning thousands of paying accounts was 10's or 100's of thousands per month in lost revenue. But what financial contribution are today's bots making to NC? With no financial contribution, adena sellers can simply bot new accounts with no risk, so I do not understand the hesitancy of NC to swiftly ban bots?
Reporting is a joke, you get 1 report per 1/2 hour? How are you supposed to report every bot in a bot party? Or report the 20+ parties in a single area?
And for a PvP game, the players have very little ability to police the bots without significant financial risks to themselves, which is freaking stupid.
As someone stated earlier, a single GM can single handedly wipe a server of bots in a very short period of time. Go to an area, ban the blatant ones, and those toons will have to start from scratch again. It will take a while before newly started bots can get back to 40-50-60+ again.
But it is a joke that real players have to be afraid to use a loop macro on their mouse or gamepad, but full BLATANT bot parties operate with immunity.
