I would like to know if there are any statistics available about how many BOTS have been reported/banned since the new BOT Button appeared. The first few days I was happy because I could see the names of the BOTTERS shouted on the announcements, but It only lasted for a few days. The server is back as it was.
It seems like BOTS are back and improved, looks like (i'm not sure if i'm right) BOTS can detect when someone reports them, 'cause sometimes they disconnect after reported and hide for a while. (I was in a party the other day in the catabombs and we all reported a BOT party, yesterday I saw the same BOTS in a different place... that means they didn't get banned 'cause it has been over a week since the first report)
I wonder if the servers are lacking GMs... if maybe NC can't afford enough GMs
So... i would really like to know... did the BOT report button worked? How many of those BOTS were banned? How many in the first week? How many in the following weeks? Why some of those bots have not been banned, though they have been reported? Is someone else interested about this results as me?
I would really like to know... because I'm not sure I want to use it anymore
It's kind of normal. We get an update, the GM team pop's up and goes to action for a few weeks banning. Then nothing much till the next update. I am sure there still banning, just not as fast as they were a few weeks ago. Could be due to x-mas coming up and ppl getting lazy. But really it's nothing new. Over the past 4 years I have seen it a number of times. Everyone gets excited thinking the GM's are going to stay at it hardcore, then a week or two pastes and we are back to bots all over the place and back to slow action from the GM team.
Could be there under manned. Could be the higher ups told them to slow down. Could be that they have some much paper work to do before they ban even one account that it takes for ever. Could be a lot of things. But really not much has changed since C1.

Bot to player count on most servers have to do with people buying Adeana. The more people buy on your server. The higher the bot count on your server. Prices are high on most servers due to the selling of adeana. Your friend or clan mate is the problem. Without the demand there would be only real people cheating to get high level. Ebayer wont stop ebayin and cheater wont stop cheatin...
I have seen many bots disapear from the game after the button came about. But I agree with TAZ. NCSoft NA has been a big disapoint in the past. We always hope for the best, but get the same thing every time :(.
I disagree, seems they are actually doing regular bans now and not just at new chronicle time, for the first time ever. Positive move, more people who play live the better :)
Yeah right , what server are you playing ? Come to bot heaven Luna .... Am gonna play till a bit after new year and stop.NC GM's are having a laugh.
when i was 63 or something i killed a b-grade bot a few times in vos .Turned out to be a sub to a guy from 1 of the bot clans in Luna . So he botted 24/7 in vos , i know cuz he is every time i go there.Either box with a se and ee or in a train of bots .Anyway reported him milions of times .... no result!Yesterday i port to vos ( am 69 now ) and i get a noble blessing , a rec and a message "Still enjoying the game?"
Now someone tell me how to react to this?? And i level pretty fast imo.And i know a guy from his bot clan that told me his sub was 56-7 the time i first kill him.
The Button Seam to be working on the clan less Bots but the Bots in clans that bot 24/7 are still botting 24/7 even thou I report them just about every day.
None of the tagged end game botters are getting banned and I even still see the untag adena farmer bots with names like WD111!!!1111!! in S grade still farming which I have been reporting with the button since day one so can't say I'm impressed with the results rendered.
