Potential Botters

d4rkh0rs3

I see many players running on xbox (especially endgame PvP) who exploited previous aspects of the game to get to where they are, because I knew them dating back to mod 5 when they were doing it.

These same individuals have between 210-240 days (not hours, DAYS!) played on xbox. You can inspect their xbl gamercards to verify. You can also inspect the number of enemy kills...

This game was released on xbox on March 31st, 2015, meaning it has been out for 408 days at this point in time (365 + 43).

So out of 408 real world days, these individuals have played the game for up to 240. The math puts this at 12 to 14 hours per day on Neverwinter. Now, did these individuals play the game this whole time, every day? Were they botting? Perhaps Cryptic should investigate?

I suspect players with this many hours logged is an indicator of botting, which relates to a loss of revenue for the company. While this does not affect the PvE community as much, it destroys the competitive nature of PvP.

Or they left the game at the character select screen and Xbox counts that time? At least it seems to me it does.

"You can also inspect the number of enemy kills" -- Another indicator in addition to the time played.

Number of enemy kills has little relation to time played. Two players who play for 2 hours and one speed runs dungeons and skirmishes and the other explores the open world will have vastly different kills. You have presented nothing but innuendo and speculation in your accusation. When I'm farming for RP or during events like tymorra's, my kill count is easily over 300 an hour and I'm a cleric. I can only imagine what a true DPS class would do.

You have demonstrated nothing that shows that bots were used or even exist in the Xbox version.

Thanks for your misinterpreted response to my post.

I have been playing since late july. I have 131 days 19 hours playing this game and 282664 kills. I do leave the game on when I'm not playing a lot and I do farm.

Im not a bot.

There are plenty of people who have earned their status legitimately. To argue that *everyone* earned their status legitimately is something entirely separate.

When I first got my Xbox One, I did not know how to properly exit out of the game, and would leave it running for hours while I was AFK. I suspect that at least some other players have this issue even now. In my personal opinion, you might be making a bigger deal out of this. However, if you suspect someone is doing something wrong, please contact customer support to report it.

I have 174 days played and I think I started in May last year? If I started on the release date I'd definitely have over 200 days.

I also have 520,800 kills, 1456 dungeons, 6219 pvp kills and I completed the 1000 dragons sometime in October.

The last time I checked I was not a robot, though depending on who you asked, others may disagree

To suggest that anyone did not, without valid proof is foolhardy. Get the proof, give it to customer service, they will address it.

Until then, your post suggests that anyone with a high number of days played and a kill count over some threshold that you have picked, to quote you "I suspect players with this many hours logged is an indicator of botting". I resent that and it really annoys me that you would make such a blanket accusation. We have in this thread disproved that hours played is an indication of botting due to the way Xbox counts the hours.

I misinterpreted nothing in your post.

And you are taking it way to serious and bagging on OP for his OPINION. You could have easily just said, No I disagree. But you need to make accusations and name-call? Come on, get over yourself.
