My opinion is that this is underhanded garbage to sell more buff scrolls from the L2 shop - funny that they can be automated. As you've said, most of us are adults with commitments now and I already spend a pretty penny on it for xp buffs and nostalgia. It's not sustainable and I won't be able to continue playing if this isn't fixed. The server's flooded with bots anyway, if they want to make money, why not just buy a bot program and legalise it, license it. They can never get a handle on it anyway.
