Well as long as you guys are aware. I mean, it’s only been 3 months and it’s not like the bots have done irreparable damage to the game’s economy already.
When everyone else is scraping the bottom of the barrel to earn some gold, the botters/chinese streamers have literal hundreds of thousands of gold (if not millions and not necessarily actual gold but TONS of mats).
I’m very aware this issue cannot be solved overnight but so far you’ve done a truly laughable job.
I would genuinely play on the KR servers at this point if I could and wouldn’t care starting from scratch as the EU/NA launch has been an absolute disaster.
nah I am too much of a chicken to try it myself and just got my computer fixed. having my steam account linked to this forum I’d be a fool using cheats and talking about it on the forum.
But it’s hard to trust anyone’s word on the internet
but soooo easy to flame (:
at this point, any first region achievements done by NA are a laughable joke and completely invalidated by the fact that such a large portion of the playerbase cheated to get there
Once again. Where is AGS fault in any of that? Do you still not know that AGS didn’t develop the game? They publish the game for EU/NA/SA. Smilegate are the developers based in Korea who actually MAKE the game. All that you named you can say is “Smilegate’s fault” but it has nothing to do with AGS. Do your research before typing.
I hope you guys can talk with SGR and ninja nuke the chaos dungeon vendor. Making all materials from the vendor roster bound and easier to get seems to be the apporach.
Yeah, but If I was to run it, I wouldn’t let them do infinite runs, I’d let them do 2 and then rotate to the next 4k accounts and so on.
MOST of us are cheaters and do botting?!?
I resent that statement.
MOST of us aren’t cheating, MOST of us do not use bots and MOST of us do not buy Gold from botters (although in many cases probably out of fear for bans).
And what is an IP ban going to do? Getting a new IP takes me 10 seconds. All I need to to is sever and re-establish the connection to my ISP.
While Botting is ofc an issue… it is no more of an issue for players than the whaling mechanics. The real issue is ofc unbalanced content rewarding players for not actually playing the game and still getting rewarded more than ANY person that is actually playing.
It’s called P2W… and this is the main issue the game has. And every single issue of the game right now is directly related to exactly this. AGS is not going to fix it since it makes them money. And SmileGate have shown for years they don’t care by implementing more and more P2W into the game.
What are you talking about?
Ags is losing money because of rmt/bot.
Players are not paying ags but rmt/bot to gain easy gold.
How is ags making money out of this lol.
Also p2w do not exist here,because you are just paying to progress faster, the content is not gated behind a pay-wall, everyone will catch up eventuality because the artisan’s energy feature exist.
AGS is loosing money yes… but hey also made a system that is built around paying Real money to progress. Call it pay to win or pay to progress faster. You think these PLAYERS that are botting now in Chaos are doing it cause it’s fun? Nope they benefit more from it than actually playing any other content in the game. Exact same thing as the whales that gain MORE for paying Real money than actually playing. This is the real issue - it has always been and it will only get ALOT worse when more and more players will realise how beneficial it is - the further they get into the game and The real money turns into 10s of thousands to “progress”.
Alot of ppl will have multiple botting accounts and then send everything to their main… As long as the main is not directly botting… you can not do anything about it. And all because AGS/SG want to make whale money over actually balancing the game and create real stops where real money and cheating does not become the winning method in this … yes… P2W game.
Belated, but consider just entirely remove the option to purchase relic accessories temporarily or permanently from the chaos dungeon vendor
and
switching the infinite chaos dungeon system to an infinite guardian raid system to make it more challenging + implement a gold sink in terms of forcing bots to consume potions that require gold to make + a chance of failure to prevent bots from easily accumulating mats.
Did anyone in this place ever did any infamous “infinite chaos dungeon?”. I did it for a few hours and the rewards are laugable, the only way you’d get any big benefit out of it is if youre a pro botter with dozens of machines running different caracters 24/7, I even doubt its profitable.
Just make T3 chaos materials exchange Bound or Bound to roster, like T1 and T2, I have no idea who thought of making it tradable, u can diminish so much of the gold farm of bots by doing this simple fix
Exactly, it’s not viable now for us normal players, but I got my 1365->1370 upgrades back then by running many hours of infinite chaos and using those blue/red stones. Those few stones are insignificant at 1400+, but only for human players that can only play so much. It’s like 40 blue and 20 red stones per 5 minutes, so not even one attempt per hour on armor. But when you run it for 24 hours…that’s pretty much a guaranteed upgrade each day just from botting.
