Patriots is a lowbie necro ... it's far more likely they just outgrew it and moved elsewhere rather than they got banned in 24hrs but yeah, whatever makes you happy :)
Zie, you should at least get to know Spud before you don't like him.
He's actually a really good friend to folks that know him and knows a lot about this game!
He doesn't suffer fools particularly well, isn't overly impressed with ubber leet idiots, and speaks his mind VERY candidly.......my kind of person (lol).
its really tough to locate those whom i reported. i cant give you their names as its against the forum rules. lets just say their names were Bi1i1llI1i1lLL x9.
if you know my photobucket account youd find the shot on the first page.
I petitioned worst names in my time. If you take the time to upload the screenshot, to post a new thread on these boards and regularily reply to it, I think it's something in the dimension of possible for you to take the time to pm them.
For instance, let's take one of them. Even with your resized screenshot, one of them is named :
<font class="small">Code:<hr /><pre>BSiIIllLLiillIIL</pre><hr />
As you should know that for names you're only allowed to use letters and numbers, and that when you pm someone, the correct characters are automatically capitalized, just pm :
"BSIIILLLLIILLIIL
To type it easierly, in your mind cut it in parts : B-S-III-LLLL-II-LL-II-L
Excellent counter point! Brilliant rebuttal! Wicked burn! Aside from that fact that it's not possible to bot the monsters I hunt (dark water dragons when I'm solo, hell bound when I have a party), you totally told me!

I wish gms really play this game, try make Valakas quest on teon, fun fun, 1 mob = 3 groups of players (yes, groups even 5 men parties hunting 1/2hp mobs)

For some moment I thought I will commit suicide while doing Varka and Shrine quests XD

they should really add the /suicide emotion. Result: commints suiside and looses 1% of exp :)
we all know ncsoft doesn't care,
you all know it,
why don't we make a permared squad
just to clean catas?
a party of 9 people lv 61 in d grade and
with an A grade augmented weapon,
every day cleaning a cata,
for sure farmers would keep botting,
but it would be funny btw.

WHY don't everyone (Just talking 2 the ones that do ebay) Just Stop Ebaying then the Bots will have no reason 2 be here. :p
All i know is this, back on Kain server during C3, there was a train of bots....about a hundred or so, running to the guard in dark elf village...there where so many of em waiting there turn to die, it looked like a crowd of people waiting for an auction house. i honestly dont know how many there where. it was insane.
Comparing to the infestations now, as compared to then, id say NcSoft cares a little bit more then they did back then.
Also, at the time there had been rumors going around some staff had actually been the ones running the Accounts, which is also rumored they have been terminated from employment at Ncsoft since then.
I think the players also have had alot to do with the change.
Now that there are items out there that can generate a cash flow, (not that there never was something you could sell overnight) and now that its easier to level (im talking about the lower 65) there are less people using the programs then there had been in previouse Chapters of our ever changing saga. in my opinion, and my own day to day viewpoint.
I dont see them as much and i think the players as well as the current staff have something to do with it. I'm not saying its gone for good or do i want to imply that it ever will. Its a common opinion all mmo's suffer from infestation of bots one way or another.

It has more to do with adena being worth less then it use to be, not with ncsoft caring. Botting lowbie monsters for spoils like ead or ewc just doesn't pay the bills anymore. There was a time when you could bot the starting monster keltirs for a few days and have enough adena to, at the very least, pay for your monthly account fees. With adena being 20 cents a million on some servers, that just isn't viable. So instead of spending half the time botting level 20 monsters and the other half killing themselves on guards, bots level up to 80 and farm high end items like elemental stones, ews/eas, s grade armor/weapon parts/recipes.
Casual players who are only level 50 or 60 after 4 years of playing don't see bots anymore, but thats simply because the bots have out leveled them.
I remember when I would run through chromatic highlands, and my fps would literally drop to 3-5 because none of the bots would pick up arrows or seeds of evil shards. It was a total infestation of level 80+ bots using b grade weapons in groups of 5-9, hunting single hp monsters for valuable elemental stones.

See even Eva knows what's really is going on.
Get to 70+ and then you start to see How bad the Bot problem really is. or go 2 the priest on Monday and Watch all the bots signing up.
