Found this both amusing...and disheartning

I zone to the top of the stairs in Protector's after an instance and I saw this....

I am the Moon Elf in the front - every TR in this picture was a PVP Bot with names like fdfdfdfghgf and the like.

So much for having gotten rid of the bots.....

    There doesn't seem to be a point in pvp bots these days, since glory items can't be sold, and the 24K AD/per day refinement is a bottleneck to savaging. If the TR bots are doing pve in open world or foundaries, it'll make more sense for them to be CWs or GWFs instead for aoe-ing..

    So it seems like a waste of electricity for the bot-user to bot?

    Well they can Salvage it for AD and if they are doing it 24/7 think how much they can get out of it.

    Is that was that's about? PvP bots or something? I've been noticing that myself the past couple weeks, whenever I (rarely) teleport back to the Enclave and it puts me in that spot. Usually about 5-8, all TR's, not always with obvious names (some were actual names, but probably from the "Random name generator"). The first time I thought it was some TR Guild or something, lol.

    Bot's make more sense...sadly enough. But it is funny to see.

    Says a lot about pvp balance. It says TRs win in PvP with no gear and no brain.

    They don't even Win, TR seems to just be the easiest to create an Automated Attack Program for. I remember a while back there were a few GF and CW bots on occasion, they never seemed to work right, so now they just stick with TRs.

    Well, probably not the ones with names like "fasfdsaggs", no one wants to buy a TR with a button-mashing name. >> There's a 'generate name' button, it takes less energy than typing random keys, I wonder why so many of them are still using that method.

    Well with the server mergers expect this small hoard to get much larger. The botters are going to love this merger.

    It will not change the @handle. In most cases, that is the name that looks like someones cat danced on the keyboard. The name that can be changed, the character name, is most often simply just the first name the name generator came up with. And that generally isn't a problem.

    i call bs. a bot would have a hard time earning more than 300 points if they won their home cap before getting destroyed. and if that's all the points they accumulate, that's zero glory rewards. so at best, a bot would have to accumulate the daily quest AD. so... if it takes 100 bots to play pvp four times each to make 400k rough ad in a day... and that would take too many resources to justify.

    As long as there is easy AD and exp to make, there will be bots. The picture says it. Either a delusional bs fanboy or trolling the complainers.

    Thats how these gold farmers level characters for people. They run a bunch of games with peoples characters they want leveled and run the bot program. They can level a toon in a couple days and never actually play the character. It was very prevalent in SWTOR with space missions as well. Anyone can do it with a $30 program.

    Its a way to lvl your toonz. Then sell them after.

    Oh just wait when they merge servers that group will be 3-4 times larger.

    And more and more people will be in PVP with them at higher rates then now.
