Lad who I was in a Guild with a FEW YEARS BACK got banned for botting Raptors outside Rata Sum. Hardly makes the UW / FoW comparison stack?
Simple fact is that botting should cause accounts to be banned. There is some happy hunting grounds in St Anjeka Shrine at the moment.
Words in caps gave you the answer..Botting was a bannable offense before yes , because they did care a little of the game.....
Today, they aren't even giving some updates , just look at how the game has turned into.....They for sure won't care about a few bots exploiting some random place simply because there are plenty of places that bots could go back instead and that they don't want to nerf every place.....
My general idea was that i agree with you , botting is against the rules and should be banned , but at this point of the game , if you consider the number of players abusing formats in PvP ( syncing especially ) , abusing some broken skills and the terrible way they lead PvE into , they for sure won't do anything....
Shame - the same names have been spawning and botting in there for the last 15 hours - just got in from work and had a look and guess what? The same names as this morning spawning every 2 mins 10 seconds and doing exactly the same. Wont talk or trade or share builds, just turn round and run out.
One bot has got stuck and is aimlessly running around the Outpost....
Bots are banned, and these will be banned like any others. The problem is again becoming worse, andbANET won't say anything, just as they kept quiet last year. Expect another big ban sometime soon and an increased profit for RMTers, which will in turn cause the botters to scramble to come up with another way around detection.
