Plenty more to do than just farm and plenty ways to make good cash. - Also Serejai can you please stop with the melodramatics. I took you seriously at first and you argued like a child, then i stopped talking to you and found you funny until you randomly quoted a buried post of mine in another thread to shit on me, now you're just fucking tiresome every time you post. Stop moaning. About what he said, bots are a problem but there are not "more bots than players" and the game is not "dying quickly" - the initial hype has worn off so there's less population / queues etc like with every release but theres still queues every evening (i don't know how bad Aiers patron queue is always under 10.), only a few drama whores hanging on for dear life when they clearly should have left when the hypetrain departed with the 12 year olds. What is your problem, kid? Grow up a bit. Just because other people don't praise the game as much as you doesn't make them melodramatic. Seems half of your posts in here are you whining because I point out a flaw with the game, followed up by your usual "this is a lie" speech until you are later proven to be wrong, where you will inevitably do a 180 and try to play it off like you never said anything stupid in the first place. Go to any level 30-40 zone and for every one player there are 5-6 bots, minimum. I don't know if you're just playing pseudo-farmville all day or if you're just so far in denial about this game, but anyone who spends five minutes out in the world can see there are more bots than players. And, of all the players logged in at any given time, half of those are afking on training dummies or running anti-afk scripts to stack labor. There are very few actual active players on, and Halcyon wars on my high pop server are barely 30v30 at prime time. You can ride around the zone for ten minutes and get more honor from killing bots than you would have from fighting in the raid. You also can't seem to grasp that you are an EU player and you keep trying to tell us NA players how the queue times are, how the bots are, etc, when it's very clear that you have no idea how the NA servers work. It just makes you look stupid when you do things like you did with queues a week ago, claiming there were 0 queues and then you jump on NA servers for five minutes and you have a 1200 queue at the deadest hour of the day and frantically try to make excuses. Praise the game all you want, but stop downplaying all the glaringly obvious problems. People like you are the reason why developers these days get away with half-assing their games, because you just bend over and take it while throwing money at them instead of holding them to a higher standard. So in short, yes there are more bots than players on many NA servers, and yes the game is dying quickly considering the population on NA servers has dropped by half in a week. I will also point out there is basically no public chat in this game due to the unblockable spambots. You're limited to guild or whispers, as Trial, Nation, and Faction are locked down by bots that you can't block. Feel free to point out how that's not an issue, either. | ||

I am on an NA server. Are there bot problems? Sure, I don't think anyone has denied that. Are they as bad as you're saying? You're either being incredibly hyperbolic or you're on an unlucky server. Inoch has a small Patron queue at primetime, I'm sure Shelke could speak to whether or not there's a F2P queue. One Halcyona war I joined last night was craaaaaaazy full, and I quite enjoyed it. NA pop has dropped by half in a week? Bring me some sources to back up that claim. It's possible, and I'll gladly believe it if I see a source. I agree that bots in chat are an annoying issue, and I hope something is done about it soon. Although I tend not to want to read much of Trial/Nation/Faction chat because they're just abysmal. | ||

My original statement (very clearly saying that there were queues.): On September 19 2014 23:20 Capped wrote: @ Serejai the only people suffering from megaqueues are those on the most populated server or F2P players and F2P players can suck it up and pay if they dont like the queues on launch week. You're being melodramatic and just remind me of the idiots spamming global chat and reddit tbh. Ive had no queue at all throughout launch. and when i checked NA: On September 20 2014 01:35 Capped wrote: Curious old me went to the NA servers to see how bad the queues really were. I just connected to Inoch SO FAST i couldn't even get a screenshot of the queue. And Enla was instant too Aranzeb has a queue of ~300 Tahyang and Naima ~200 The others have large queues and are the "big popular servers" So there's Inoch, Enla on NA, with zero queue and Aier on EU, with zero queue. I can't even check the other EU servers because i have my character slots used on other servers already. Dahuta has ~2k queue being a popular server tho. Serejai talking out of his damn butthole, at least 3 confirmed servers i personally logged into with no queue as Patron. (This isnt NA primetime, but neither is when he was posting this rubbish.) Fuck it, i'll even sit in this 2.6k Dahuta queue and tell you how long it takes! I found 3 zero-queue servers (2 on NA), multiple small queues and since the beginning said that megaservers and F2P players have large queues. I couldn't even check 5 EU servers because of char slots, but i guess thats irrelevant since it was about NA. (None of that is solid evidence of a servers state, it was just debunking his bullshit claims.) This next bit is just an apt quote for Serejais last post, claims, abuse and him overall.

The game was never popular in NA to begin with so I don't understnad what you mean, EU population is completely fine so I hardly see the game dying just because NA isn't doing so well. They just opened too many servers thats it. | ||

Bots will kill the game. If they cant fix it, I know I wont give them a single dollar more, besides, if you play enough you can just buy APEX and never spend any money again, patron included. The spamming killed the chat, I had to make a new tab with only guild and whisper, as the normal chat is broken. | ||

On October 01 2014 03:01 Chanted wrote: I am not sure if this is the case here, but there is a big difference from EU to NA when it comes to bots. Disclaimer, this might be because I play on a server with locked char creation on EU (Kyprosa) and one of the open servers on NA (Lucious) . Botting seem to be way more rampant on the NA server I play on. I took a little sweep through granite quarry, and counted 27 bots, parked on different iron vein spawning points. Did the same run on Kyprosa, 0 bots. I think this might have to do with the locked char creating. Did another run while writing this post, 30 mining bots. All with starting gear, 20 of them with FacaiXX name, What this means is that basically doing mining is just wasted labor, as the bots will kill the prices. Bots will kill the game. If they cant fix it, I know I wont give them a single dollar more, besides, if you play enough you can just buy APEX and never spend any money again, patron included. The spamming killed the chat, I had to make a new tab with only guild and whisper, as the normal chat is broken. That's pretty much exactly how the NA servers are. There are bots that camp the iron veins and iron is already essentially worthless on many NA servers. There are bots that go around looking for soon-to-be-demolished housing and they use a hack to buy it before anyone else can, so getting land is really hard because farming bots own most of it. The spambots have made chat nonexistent, and the standard farming bots have filled up every 30+ questing area. A simple "Kill 10 mobs" quest can easily take half an hour to do because of all the bots tagging everything, and it's pointless trying to kill them because there are just too many. In some parts of Yny the bots actually outnumber the amount of possible spawn locations for the mobs they are farming. It's fucking hilarious when EU players come in here trying to tell potential NA players that the game is great, there are no queues, botting is fine, etc without having a clue what they are talking about. Not directed at you, of course, because you seem to be one of the few that has enough common sense to understand European servers and North Americans servers are completely different. You say that botting will kill the game, but in reality it already has. The spambots alone have probably scared away a good portion of players. The reality of it is that botting has already been around for years on the Korean servers and nothing has been done about it, and Trion doesn't have any control over it here (which is a shame because Rift is one of the least-botted MMOs out there, but Trion can't use their anti-hack systems on AA). According to one of the developers at Buddy Bots their Archeage bot has had over 20,000 unique downloads in three days. That's 20,000 normal players like you and me that are now running a bot on the servers, not even including all of the gold selling companies that are running their own proprietary Korean and Russian bots. Some of the Russian bots even have the ability to teleport with trade packs; good luck with that not completely breaking the game. Can't really blame Trion for the bots, though; it's completely out of their hands and XLGames doesn't seem to care. Hackshield is a complete joke and CryEngine3 is not a very good engine to host an MMO on in the first place. It's a very vulnerable game. | ||

Does that make you guys feel better because you've been screwing up this thread. Crafted gear is finally coming along in my guild and it looks SO good. Farming the cross continental trade routes with my guilds fleet of gallons for charcoal and rock salts is hella fun. Anyone looking for a reason to play this game should be looking at the trade pack system and more importantly naval warfare. Noob ilk and casuals go west continent hard core vikings go east. There is only ollo. | ||
