Bots or AI Stand-Ins?

Hi all. New NW player here. As I've been working on leveling up, I pop into a Dom map from time to time (anywhere from low 20's - 60's) to break up the monotony of questing. What I've witnessed (on both my team and the opposing team) is that one team will usually be loaded with actual players, and the other team will get whoever is left and then be filled up with useless AI bots.

Granted, they will at least move between our side of the zone and the middle node, but they don't fight. Is this typical? I mean, I have to wait for X number of players to join anyway. Where did they go?

    Aye its been happening but it seems there is some kinda bot boom lately. Ive been in many matches where my lowby toon is the only human controlled one. On the plus side you get your double/tipple etc kills.
    Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream.
    Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.

    To be fair I think it is needed as no bots would mean no ques lol. The leveling bracket done went away. The lowbie pvp guilds retired. Vampire trolls I'm looking at you. The competitive leveling pvp is gone yes yes there was such a thing. People where as serious about the leveling bracket as they where about end game. Yet no with the bot influx anyone can get zillions of kills and it kind of took the earning top rank in a bracket out of the equation and you do not have the same bragging rights as you did. (Oh you are number one in the 30s bracket with hundreds of kills against bots well good for you) Yet at one time it did mean something. Sigh memories.
