    This is crazy..give us bots and then make it so that we cant use them. Botting in BQ mobs is wrong period, but do not punish those of us who played fair. Make all BQ and Quest mobs worth 0 exp and no drops. That way problem is solved and those of us that do play fair are not affected.

    but we would be effected. those that are 'op' an better geared then others will take over the spots that are not botting bq mobs. it will effect those that 'play fair'

    to solve the problem they should implement a 2nd or 3rd 'realm' who's mobs drop slightly more items and have slightly more exp.

    but making bq/quest mobs worth 0 will just make those of us that arent +10 or better lose thier only source of income because those +10+'ers will just come steal out 'play fair' areas

    Well 10 hours of botting per day should be sufficient for everyone. The ones it will really affect are the 3rd party bots that never have to stop because they can repair and sell whenever needed, so if this is the case, I like the change

    I find it wrong that they did this to the ENTIRE game. The main map should not be effected by this. What is going on PWE and why hasn't a GM said anything about this?

    The easiest solution would be to require those on PVE servers to go into PK mode to bot.

    PVP servers don't have the same issues that PVE do because it pretty much self regulates. You can't go more then a few hours without getting pked anyway. No one bots at quest spots because it would mean 100% getting pked regularly.

    Why are you complaining? your faction(wont name cause naming and shaming) has morai and most other spots dominated and also saturated with multi alts to pick it all up all controlled by you guys. ohhh i seee what you did there. b:pleased

    ...this sounds like the earn time feature that China had to implement a while back. Probably an accident we got it, like the FC thing. I can't see NA wanting to limit their players to 10 hours of gameplay a day, basically, since it's not 'just for botting'--it makes it so that the moment you enter combat mode, a timer starts counting down as to if you can get drops or not.
    I'd say give it a week or something, sadly.
    Might see gold go down in that week, though...

    even worse about this is that earning time affects any mob you hit. no farming TT or world bosses if your time is up. your squad would be pissed xD hope it gets fixed soon.

    I was not a fan of keeping my bots up 24/7. Maybe this will lower the coin problem some.

    Good job pwi for limiting botting.
    They should limit it for 5 hours instead of 10 b:laugh.
    But I do not like that it affect intances.
    It should not affect instance at all. Only world map and heaven/hell.

    I hope this helps and lower gold price since my server reached gold ah the cap yesterday.
    Do you want PWI to fix the economy before is to late?

    Chances are it's going to be removed when FC is fixed. Also will do nothing to lower gold prices as people level more alts to bot on.

    Yeah, that's why we can't have nice things b:surrender
    I'm a tad annoyed. It was nice coin, I played by the TOS rules, and helped me level my chars through the soul-crushing rbing process quickly without needing to spam fcc endlessly. Glad I only have 3 left to get to rb2, I'm so tired of leveling b:cry

    I vaguely hope it's an error and will be fixed somewhat, but if not I guess we'll figure something out. If they're going to keep it this way, I hope at least they give you an easier way to see how much earning time a char has left, because as far as I can tell there's no way to monitor it or even see its status outside of a squad.

    Personally, I don't think it'll change the economy much at all. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't hold my breath. That really requires people to not be desperate enough to push Gold to cap, since it got there, it'll be a long road to get it to drop at all.

    1st of all, I would like to say: "PWI BEST IMPLEMENTATION EVER!" Earning time + active point system FTW!

    I bot myself and i dont mind this nerf, as long as gold drops down, even slightly, I'm happy. Only problem is... what contributes to having the red earning time? Number of mobs killed? Or botting for a certain amount of hours?

    For those whiners, its not like its being removed from the game completely, just make sure you set the appropriate timing (once gm can confirm the cause) so that you wont effect ur sqd later (if it does effect ur sqd in instances).

    That's nice and dandy and all, but doesn't that mean it will nerf the drops of a squad to hell when you have a person in it with no more earning time?

    "FSP LF +#, must still have earning time" incoming.

    The regular player that doesn't bot gets screwed over once more.

    I did fsp today with 3 people that had 0 earning time and still got 40 pages. Most people leave before pages are handed out so what does it matter.
