Botting is not integrated and the auto mode is not meant to be a fully AFK feature. Macro looping is restricted to 1 macro and 1 only. You cannot loop 2 macros simultaneously. Any situation where a character is able to process an "if" situation is being handled by a bot or pixel capturing software to reproduce keystrokes. So no, you cannot do everything 24/7 with the macro loop. Also I'm not complaining about the game, I'm suggesting ways to improve it though I know it will be to no avail.

This is the less productive post I've seen on a forum for quite some time. If you bot your 5+ character train 24/7 yeah you might be right. But the typical dual box setup (mind the dual word) simply is not viable in so many cases, particularly when you approach the lv 60 curve. The game is currently unbalanced and the adena drop rate has to be revised comprehensively because it is brokenly subpar to the XP ratios applied in practive (kill a mob, get 20k xp + 50k bonus). The natural progress curve that was hard to overcome in Prelude is now even worst and cannot be tackled without L2 Store or RMT.

How about a ban hammer to wipe out the 5.000 bots that are blatantly 24/7?

So I made an acc in EU Classic (1x) and compared some adena drops during an hour: EU Classic: Medusas in Gorgon's Flower Garden gave 210-335 adena NA Classic: Medusas in Gorgon's Flower Garden gave 142-258 adena So the adena rates are not even 1x here. WTF is going on.

Everything should be more or less in consonance. I mean that the game was originally planned as 1x in xp, sp and adena. It makes no sense to curve the game +50%, +50%, and 0% adena. All it leads to is to frustration and leaving the server to never look back, particularly if you lean towards a more solo-like playstyle. Coping with the progression requirements in equipment makes it impossible and sooner or later you end up only being able to kill blue mobs with no drops. So if one aspect gets boosted for whatever reason (event, weekend, or permanent fix), XP, SP and adena should go always by the hand.

Adena rates are not even 1x, i'd venture to say.
