Bots are killing PvP

dank65

I love PvP and although in this game its not quite balanced yet its still fun but as of late its become impossible because of all the bots, In the last 4 games I played there were 2 bots in 2 games 3 in one game and 4 in the last game they need to bring back the kick function.


I know your not suppose to name and shame but by the looks of the names I dont think they really care..

Now before anyone ask the silly question " But how do you know there bots" Its very easy especially as you lvl up just inspect them and you will find out they are wearing lvl 8 9 and 10 gear and anyone who is actually trying to PvP will at least have lvl appropriate gear and if thats to hard to do 9 times out or 10 they also never mount they just run.

bit risky what you`re doing here ;p
if it `s on lvl 60 then yes you can be right about gear;p but realy is no proof at all for someone botting.
same for no mounting, in early levels if someone just spended all gold on other stuf and doesn`t have a mount.
just never do that naming thing, it won`t help even if you make videos from it and send it private to pwe.
reporting does not help.

Almost every PVP match I played today I had a bot on my team causing us to lose. WTF

walgeon@derdesmis

someone who levels up via PVP only has no possibility of getting other gear then what he had at the level he started PVPing

i know, i like to pvp also ;p it`s not overreacted to say 9 out of 10 matches has bots.
or well maybe 8 out of 10, but certainly not less ;p

To detect a bot? It is so easy to do so. These are some obvious behaviors:
-They run in a pattern (home base then mid in mount map or straight to mid in riven scar map).
-Never dodge.
-Never avoid zerg even if they are alone(anyone with right mind would run away from 3-4 opponents on the 1st sight).
-Never talk back.

Recently, since dev disabled the kick non-disconnected member, there are more and more bots in pvp matches. This is really unfair for the team stuck with bots, since they do not have any option to replace bots by real players which means real players will lose the match or leave with frustration.

tcarnce

you can leave that never talk back out ;p

but, whatever we come up to define a bot by. we don`t have the acces to kick or ban them.
and pwe/cryptic does nothing about it. they`re not stupid(you would think, because any game should be tested on relogging if chests spawn again )
i planned to type something but don`t feel the urge suddenly anymore.
wanted to type they re not stupid and know how bots react.
and could do something about it.
but ok.

I rarely see a bot in lvl 60 pvp, but i'm currently levling up another char and i noticed them especially in the range 30-39 and now 40-49 brackets.

Mostly Rouges but i also noticed one Cleric.

As already mentioned, they run in patterns (especially at gamestart you can see 2-3 bots running EXACTLY the same path to 2)
Also they use a limited skill set. Rouge throws sometimes only daggers. another bot version uses normal attacks, disables and stealth.

The Cleric only casts astral seal.

Its quite annoying sometime with 2 to 3 bots in a team.

Good thing is, you know that "your" bots always attack 2, bad thing the other team's too.

You can kite them away from center, but they run there again if their main target dies or they respawn

hahaha, yes it`s insane while leveling. maybe they just don`t bot 60 that much because of dropping ad value on pvp items.
it maybe gives them more to lvl, get max leadership slots and bot the crafting.

this game is HAMSTER the end.

level 60 items are typically worthless AD wise compared to lower level ones, especially if they are blue... I haven't seen many bots in level 60 play lately either, I've been accused of being a bot several times though

I call bull@&^% on that Ive lvled a character strictly through PvP and kept myself in blue gear all the way to 60 just by stopping long enough to do the dailys for AD and on the AH theres tons of cheap blue gear to be had not to mention at the vendors you can get blue gear for cheap up to lvl 20 that will last to lvl 30.

And as far as the mounting thing I would agree up to lvl 30 its not as easy to tell but if what he said was true that they may be spending there gold on something else and cant afford a mount then they should have at least some decent green gear for that gold.

In the end there is no excuse not to have at least lvl appropriate green gear and a mount gold and AD is to easy to come by not to and Ill say again if there at lvl 30 and above and have no mount and crappy lvl 10 gear then they are a bot.
