Smeyspace Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is just rediculous. My server (saber of exar kun) is ridden with botting activity. You see at least 2-3 players a game run and hide in a corner, and do not respond, or any way show human activity. I've also heard this about pvp from people in other servers.

Smeyspace Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 also nice to see 13000 objective points, and 0 damge done, protected, or healed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokingGoose Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well tbh they could be bots but they can also be people who are just doing other stuff and leaching off people. And i think nowadays most bots should be able to do more than just sit in a corner. Thats why i suspect it is people just afk'ing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are complaining about Alderaan there is no way around it. If you only reward people for defending when the enemy is there then what incentive is there for a person to stay defending when no one is around while others farm medals?

Smeyspace Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well, I dont know anything about bots. But in WoW it was real bad with people doing that. I just suspected that bots wouldnt have a hard time transfering over to this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razot Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It sucks but it is just one of sooo many problems in the PVP game.. I mean really the exploits (cheat software), the bugs, rng system, fight clubbing, faction imbalance, action delay, the gear progression is pretty stupid tbh pretty much skipping T1, expertise poorly put into game, ect ect.. And Bioware has really done nothing good outside of the 1-49 bracket.. Seems that Bioware has no control so meh whatever put one more fail MMO on the list and move on..

The MMo people say is the God of MMo's had no pvp for like a year and a half. Dont get what you are saying?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since Bioware copied everything from them and very badly i might add, that is one thing i wish they would have copied and held off on the PVP systems for a few months cause at this moment i doubt the games PVP will ever recover.

DarthVarrak Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 there are 2 people on my server that I know of on Empire side who are notorious botters. Any team that gets them on their team just says "screw it" and farms medals because there is no chance of winning the actual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeyspace Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm glad that I'm not alone in suspecting botting already in this game. It seems to be the craze for online games these days. Guess I'm going to have to give it up soon if some breakthru isnt made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see at least 2-3 players a game run and hide in a corner, and do not respond, or any way show human activity. I've also heard this about pvp from people in other servers. What are your opinions/ Same server as you. One thing you can do is simply whisper one of the dps's on the opposing team to come kill them. I have had teams do this with me before and I have no problem coming over to do it. I always look for afk'rs on the opposite team and kill them and never stop an opposing team member from doing the same if the afk'r is on my team. Sadly, there does seem to be bots showing up now that will automatically follow a path back to a corner. I guess the only thing you can do is report them. I know there were some really well known afk'rs (bots) that I haven't seen in a long time so I can only assume they were banned (hopefully).

Panzerbase Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) We have one guy who has been reported a few hundred times now, by both sides, he's up at 7:30 am and doesn't stop until late, he has ruined so many matches it's beyond words and the frustration level is high. Yet they (Bioware) do nothing about this. And no I'm not exaggerating, he has been reported a few hundred times. I've even reported the guy on the customer service forums, seemed a good place to get a response as the in game reporting was useless. And guess what? They said it was inappropriate and deleted my comment, now I'm trying to help my server, myself, and the game overall and this is what I get? Here's a kicker, he has been botting for so long he even gets lead at times... good luck marking anything then.

Master_Khyven Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It is bots...lots of them. Keep a careful eye out and report them via ticket for now. They run into the zone and look odd running into walls. They shoot and do some abilities now and then. I hope Bioware has something in store to stop this type of behavior.

Shrilokka Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) I have seen people sit up in the corners of civil war a lot. It doesn't happen often, but I have seen it. I think there needs to be something like /kick and if a person gets 5 votes(majority) they get kicked. And when the first person activates the /kick function everyone is notified and asked to vote.
