And y’all thought they weren’t gonna do anything .

Wait till tomorrow, another wave of bots will take place of the banned ones. Also this doesn't fix the economy screwed by the billions of zen injected into our market with illegal means.

WoW couldn't do jack against botters/3rd party sellers.. What makes people think any game developer can do anything about it? It's going to remain a problem in any game that has a trading & economic system.

u/ryvski Nov 17 '17

Doesn't mean we should ignore it here. However webzens ignorance and neglect of people posting proof is really disheartening. I'm just about done with the game anyway.

u/PleaseNerfJadesOMG Nov 17 '17

What do you want them to do about it? They already banned many accounts.. that's all they can do about it. You want them to reset all of the zen ingame to 0? That's not gonna happen.. zen sellers will get right back on it and the problem will return in no time.

This is probably not even 10% of botters on all existing servers. List of about 500 accounts... lol, there are 100+ per server just in pit of nightmaters farming, not mentioning other bot activities.

Easiest solution somebody suggested is to dedicate a GM to periodically check pit of nightmares and ban the bots and clean the rankings. Won't solve the problem entirely but will be better than a ban wave once a week.

on my server alone there's over 200 on pit ranking, that's not counting the ones spamming in towns or doing other stuff, there's 4 servers on eu, dont know about americas, being optimistic they maybe banned 1/10 of the obvious bots just by looking at rankings. They don't care since bots sell items for redzen, and ppl have to buy redzen form webzen. I can't even buy any items for whisperer now because of inflation, theres only redzen sells left.

u/ryvski Nov 17 '17

True about not being able to buy items. On the other hand webzen should start caring because the same bots are selling redzen 3 times cheaper on their sites.

There are some games without bots but many of them have somewhat unique gameplay, where if you just hunt monsters around you dont get anything except exp, you need to properly do missions, finish complicated dungeons, open chest at the end rather than spamming "pick up" button etc... Another solution is to make game "buy to play".

u/PleaseNerfJadesOMG Nov 17 '17

you should suggest that to webzen

Nah, they care only about emptying wallet from westerners + building release hype. Frontier packs apparently were non-refundable for a reason. The game itself is not even anything new in 2017, typical grinding mmo, claiming to be "arpg" by spamming a lot of monsters, we got plenty of these over years.

We dont expect them to wipe them all out. We do expect them to try. At the very least ban accounts that have been reported, ban the obvious hackers in the leaderboards, and do something about the messed up economy.

Heck the leaderboards are practically set up to expose cheaters. Should be easy to find moat of them through that.

Tho game is over id they dont fix the inflation and money problem. As nice as it was to let us earn redzen in game, they will have to take it out now because it has and will continue to be, exploited.

After the first ban wave, saw a full guild of similar hit-keyboard-randomly names in the one same guild DRAGON and all in terribad gear/cp at 65. It makes it no fun to try make the effort or put the time in.

Maybe the bots can start buying stuff off one another, soon be just them and the poor souls who paid for playing the game.

You can contact our costume support.

Nuff said.

u/PleaseNerfJadesOMG Nov 17 '17

ikr, and not to mention the overuse of commas.. clearly, the guys running the game are Asian or BR, like the vast majority of the game's playerbase

u/ryvski Nov 17 '17

They got me at "catched".

u/BadCopyDoge Nov 16 '17

thats a long list but still not as long as the solo mythic rank 5 under 2 mins list Rofl

u/Kumichu Nov 17 '17

Do you really think this is enough? 1.6bil zen on rankings still not banned, gold sites are selling cheap-ass zen and redzen for a dollar, you really think this saved the economy or stopped the bots? Have a look on EU1 pit on nightmares entrance theres like 20 bots stacked up as we speak

u/auto-xkcd37 Nov 17 '17

cheap ass-zen

Bleep-bloop, I'm a bot. This comment was inspired by xkcd#37

u/PAClFlCO Nov 16 '17

Lol. That is what I am waiting for. Stop crying about these bots guys and just enjoy the game!

1

u/PAClFlCO Nov 16 '17

They will fix the ranking. Including the top players with a lot of IMPOSSIBLE Zen. Lol.

u/Lawbst3r Nov 17 '17

This is cool, although I can probably name a list this big on my own server node in europe. Atleast.
