There were bots in every single game one team was all bots with names like gfh, asd, etc.

But dont remove the xp from PvP, I enjoy PvP but still want to advance my character. As for the glory, anyone who is buying PvP gear for AD has too much money and no sense.. Glory at L60 is SOOOOOO easy even if you lose every time, just takes a little time, and heaven forbid you might actually learn how to use your character better ... I would have no problem with PvP gear being BOP it should be already....
Serieusly, people just farm whatever currency is the easiest, in this case through PvP.
They purchase items with said currency, sell it on the broker and then use that stuff to make actual money from gold selling websites.
The problem with Banhammers is the lack of ability to enforce it, with a free to play game people just create another account and load their pre-built bots back into place. 15 - 30 minutes tops. There are companies that sell rotating IPs, so trying to ban by IP is pretty much only to catch only the idiots who do not know how to get these service setup.
People with the bots are most likely making some good money off of this game. The only way I can see to stop it is making items BoP or to account and glory items bound to account. Stop giving people the opportunity to sell items gained through PvP and it will stop within the day.
Glory items should NOT be tradable and neither should seal items.
Sorry if that kills a easy source of income for some, but there are other ways to make money too... and right now, the economy is COMPLETELY broken.
Sad... but true.
Unless they reign some of this in... within a year, you'll have nothing but noobs and farmers. NW Gold will be selling for 100gp for $1 and a million AD will be $1 because it's so plentiful. Items will be inflated beyond the realm of normal players and only players who buy Zen or buy gold/AD from gold sellers will be able to buy items.
While I don't like the locked down economies of some games, seeing what this has become in such a short time makes me feel like the locked down economy is the better way.
Only way to get rid of bots is to have a report function, active GM's (haven't seen one sign of a GM in Neverwinter so far) and some sort of system that kicks afk players from matches, or at least doesn't reward them when the match is done.
jayws84 I think you are stuck in the "little picture" concept, Look at the larger scope, How many people do you think would have to be on at one time in order to fulfill all of the ban requests? Do you actually think there is only 1 or 2 matches going on at a time? With all of the people playing both here and Internationally?
Think of the time it takes you to make the request, for them to respond to the request, and then to process the request and actions taken. Then multiply it by the number of matches that take place at any given time. The Bot group replacing the removed bot with another (Guaranteed there will be groups of people working together), when you are making the money they are you are not going to giveup without a fight.
Then of the backlog that is created as time goes by and requests get backed up. Again it is my belief the Banhammer will not work in a free game. In a subscription based game it is possible, this would be based on amount effort and money it would cost/make.
I don’t know if you have noticed, but everything has been done to automate as much of the game as possible.
As much as I love to imagine a parlor full of devs kicked back and doing the nothing that is getting done on the game, the more likely scenario is that a handful of people are being given four handfuls of work and no one has time to address anything in the game.
There are no GMs, there are no banhammers at the ready, no one is sitting by watching anything. You are playing in the wild west and their aint no hangin’ judge round these parts.
So when you pose a solution keep in mind that it needs to be pushbutton automated, no human interaction. It should allow for several days to a week to parse and produce any sort of action and it can’t be supported by any actual person.
A system like that they might be able to use by familiarity if nothing else.
Go to some epic frozen 7 min runs at DD time. That **** exploiters can make 1-2 mill ad in 1 hr, you can make about 20k ad in pvp in 1 hour ffs
Doing PvP isn't about purchasing gear and selling it...
Its only a convenience to earn some cash when doing PvP. There need to be other sources of cash flow.
Besides, its not only PvP related. All gear is for sale, no matter what content you get it from.
In addition, by "easiest" i ment that you can just afk in Arenas and get stuff for doing nothing, you can't do that in epic runs.
Considering that because of the fact that PvP gear is tradeable, people tend to use the arenas as an afk spot (especially as a leader) and get away with free loot to sell and trade.
Even if its just a temporary fix, something needs to be done about it.
Have to agree though, this may be an easy way to achieve your daily, but it sure is one boring route.
though i would like to see less bots and more balance instead of
CW+TR > the rest
In my PVP match today, I spoke with the party telling them I'm not a bot, even got into an argument with them, and just before the match ended, got kicked by the party lead for "not helping our team". We were severely outmatched and losing so bad that I was not about to give the other team "free kills" and for my trouble I got kicked.
So one GM ticket and a screen shot later, here I am. Hoping the GM's will do something about it but not holding my breath.
