When are the GM's gonna do something about the freakin' bots ALL over the freakin' map?
No matter where you go to solo, you'll meet 30 bots running around farming all the good spots.
It says in your freakin' rules of conduct that you may NOT freakin' cheat or any other crap.
In my oppinion, you're giving me as a customer a false product which I'm also paying a monthly fee to use and play.
How hard can it be to find and ban bots? Been playing this game for around 4 years and never seen any difference except that more and more people are botting.
I would like to know what kind of company you see yourself as, ripping your customers for money without giving them what they pay you for.
Sometimes the GMs do a lot of good work, but sometimes they frustratingly fail. Sometimes I feel like I need to respond to these types of threads (or start my own), but then I realize the track record we have here, and after typing up a big post of the PROs and CONs of an argument about what's going on with this game, 99% of the time I just Select All and hit Backspace.
I don't want to see these types of threads go away, but it's hard for me personally to respond to them cause I know what is going to happen next.
Really . . . this has been going on since before the game even went retail. As soon as the database was wiped after Closed Beta and it was known that there would be no wipe after Open Beta, the farming began. Then came the first generation of cheats, GameGuard was added, then the next gen cheats arrived, and here we are.

Once you get rid of the buyers of the bots products you will get rid of a large portion of the bots ( not all ). How difficult would it be to introduce a small section of code to flag an account whose adena amount suddenly jumps up too much, once an account has been flagged the source of the extra adena can be traced to find if it has come from a ligitimate source.
If not perma-ban both accounts.
And if you just happened to pick an AQ ring that someone dropped while being red... selling that generates quite a big adena jump. Wee, getting banned for that.
And yes, the gold services could work in a similar fashion, "dropping" items on death for buyers in remote locations. Or "falling" victim to scam shops selling bone arrows at 100mil each. Scamming isnt illegal you know ;)
Easiest way would be to prevent any and all non-standard L2 clients from logging to the servers.

I think you have oversimplified my point to a ridiculous degree;
1. I was talking about adena sales.
2. I never said it was an instant ban, I said flagged accounts would then be investigated to uncover the source was ligit.
