1. Is this good for PWI economy wise: Yes and No
2. Is this good for farming dropped mats for resale: Yes
3. Is this good for low level leveling: Yes
4. Is this good for high level leveling: Yes and No, Yes as you can gain more afk exp than the other option in Warsong, No as Awakening made this irrelevant. Side Note: at 53% to 103, it would take around 1 year and 200k mob kills during 2x to level 24/7 botting.
5. Was this a good thing for the game as a whole: Yes I think so, it levels the playing field for people to farm more coins easier.
6. Should PWE add a cash shop item to renew the Timer: I would say yes and no. it would really depend on the percentage of players that actually use this feature a lot for the purpose of building capital. I think having the cash shop item would help keep the balance of the f2p users with the p2w users.

1. No, This is just maknig the rich richer and the average/poor unable to reach the later conteent because they can not bot as effeciently as the rich.

2.Yes, those mob mats or food drops are pretty annoying to gather since their drop rates are usually in the teen percents or much lower and leveling crafting skills without them cost a fair bit of gold.

3. Yes if we were able to stack hyper time over more than a few hours, but we would need a way for the bot to automaticly stop the hyper time when it teleports home or dies.

4. Yes, for the same reasons as 3.

5. No, this now offical bot is pretty much a lazy way to "changing the rules" on botting in general making it seem okay to use a 3rd party bot.

6. No, the timer can be set for over several hundread hours already and no bot will run that long before it's gear starts breaking.


On another side of using the Auto Cultivation, I have been using it for my second client alt when running instances together in a party with my first client main. When we get to a fair big number of mobs or boss I will turn it on and my alt will contribute to the party on its own, and when that situation is over I turn it off and move on.

This makes it easier to dual client for me as I can focus on my main windows healing without having to worry about my second window tanking or DDing.

some of my observation and experience I have whit this auto system.

If you are watching it, and just feel lazy to press button, you can open the inv and right click pot in inventory while the cultivation goes on and on.

On the other hand, I find it a bit unfair for magic classes. Since they will need both a HP/MP charm to use bot. Witch makes the sin the best farming classes ( ofc ). Why not archer you will say well here is why.

If your archer run out of ammo, during and attack, it will try to go to town using town portal. The mob attacking you will cancel the town portal and you get stuck in a loop, until you check the bot or you charm / pot run out and die. Or you end up whit mega $$ for repair. The same can probably happens whit sin if the weapon is broken I did not tryed this.

the bot is very unstable imo. whit this week treasure quest, I got an auto recovery stone for free, i,m like, let's get free pot to and farm some coins. Well I lost coins cause the bot freeze for some reason.

I put my veno in fox form, ( so that mp is not really use ).
Macro : Master Li tech, Heal pet, 3 spark, leech, normal attack.

Target mob, Celestial clangs, ( for there lv and ease to kill )

I run a test of 2 hours whit the auto recovery stone, it use 100 hp pot during that period.
The drop gave me around 300k and repair was a bit over 95k. not bad for 2 hours.

Since I have 350 pot left and I used 100 in 2 hours, I set the bot to 3 hours and went to work.

When I came back I had a bill of 250k repair, 0 hp pot left, and the veno was dead. worst part, I only had 7 item in inventory, no log to know what cause it, except interruption message. i'm guessing it froze and then I got my hp drain over and over and it tryed to go to town, infinite loop of cancel and finally died.

While on bot also, it will not load ammo you have in inventory to keep using the archer weapon.

Over all, this feature is very young and need a lot of tweaking.

I think it's a great addition to the game and I'm using it when asleep/afk/at work.

However I am interested in the downsides. If near enough every player has the ability to bot 10m overnight, 20m if logging an alt too, and then those who will be breaking the ToS could make upwards of 100m/200m who knows. PER DAY. What effect will this have on the economy. Hyper inflation- people will be crying for gold prices of 2m again.

Gold will go up to a relative amount based on the earning capability of players. Prices will rise accordingly on all items. F2p players need coin to buy gold to buy items from boutique like r9 war avatar stuff etc.

The price of gold is actually not based on the demand for gold, this merely affects the fluctuation from high and low, the actual price is based on the availability of coin. The botting will be dumping billions of coin into the economy everyday.

Conclusion if you don't bot, you will better have another way to make 10m-20m+ a day or you won't be able to buy very simple items.

I know this wasn't the purpose of the thread, but just my thoughts.

I don't think there is a chance in hell anyone makes 1 mil an hour off drops alone..10 mil in 10 hours?..this person has to prove that to me..drop rates are horrible and I've noticed the coin drops are much lower than they used to be! Only benefit I see from this is gaining exp while afk! I can't make 500k in an hour of grinding and I'm a bm!

This looks like a NECRO!

Any thread over one month (30 days) old is considered to be a dead thread and you're not supposed to post in them. The person you are replying to probably doesn't care any more or can no longer be found on the forums. The topic itself could be out of date. Next time just make a new thread.

Let's see how long it takes for a mod to close this

obligatory "emg necro!" yadda yadda

I do agree with you however - I tried autocultivating a few months ago after hearing how amazing the money was, people claiming ridiculous stuff like 12m per day, etc. I made maybe 2m max botting for ~8hrs while I slept. Sorta disappointing and I haven't bothered to auto cultivate since.

With a picker, I make about 800k per hr after expenses.
