I thought, that the events are for players not for bots ... and I was wrong.
Why do you make events if you then do anything with bots?
1k + on the Varka and Ketra, on the pavel ruins and alchemic laboratory ~ 50 bots, and how much is in other places?
On serwers you extremely reduced droprate - so now it is 3-4 times more bots.
Yesterday some bots owner pk me to make room for his bots. Boters do not even try to hide too much - Check in pavel ruins (naia) - bot nicks like "nnjg4" or "nnjd2" is standard - boters have in the *** players, GMs or NCsoft.
Every day you see the same bots and every day there's nothing anyone does with that.
Does it really so hard to log GMs 2 times a day and see the place where the most playing bots? This will take up to 1 hours.
I understand all - you try to fight with bots (I think), but 'Do something real, not only lower droprate - because it only increases the number of bots.
Its funny - i play here over 5 years and still the same problems - GMs, as allways, do nothing, bots as allways are here.
All they really have to do is add adena to the NC coin shop
bye bye bots
hello cash
they do not understand the idea of micro transaction like guildwars did.
If u price things at lower dollar prices, people WILL buy more, make your packs more interesting.
Those crappy packs may work on the Korean crowd, but Americans and Europeans think a little more before they buy something to see if it is actually WORTH buying or if you get less then before GOD.
Right now all the packs give you WAY less then what we had in GOD in droprates, so tell me why should I buy something at 50 dollar what I used to have at 15 dollars huh ?
lower your prices and people will buy
and do the math 5 players buying for 1000 dollar
or 2000 players buying for 15 dollars each month, wich will be most lucrative.
Guildwars 2 knows the answer, now have to wait if NC soft can become just as smart, right now they are like toddlers compared to Guildwars 2's micro transaction genius brilliant minds.
Actually I have a great idea for NC soft to earn from the bots and also reduce the bots issue.
Just follow these few simple steps and you be able to earn more not only from players but from bots too and will also reduce the amount of bots in the server
1) 1 time payment for the account make the player pay like $10 - $15 when creating the account (Keep it at this range because we want the account to be affordable for the bots so they can keep creating account)
2) a Mass ban every 48 hours. I believe its pretty easy to spot the bots if the GMs are willing to spend 30 mins to 1 hour a day just to monitor hunting grounds. Since low lvl hunting grounds are pretty standard its not hard to trace the bots. (Note that since creation of new account require a 1 time payment. this = huge money for NC soft since the bots are gonna recreate their account :) after that remember to ban them again within 48 hours and the bots will start to notice its not worth it anymore)
3) Increase adena drops/drop rate or even allow user to buy adena via NC coins. (The reason why bots are around are mainly made to sell adena. Increase the drop rate of adena and allow player to buy adena via NC coins will greatly reduce the demand of buying adena from the botters)
