The bot situation is ridiculous, was levelling in Rethramis and I encountered ONE legit human player in about an hour of play. They’re all Berserkers and Sorceresses with speedhacks insta-teleporting around and using abilities faster than you should be able to. You can sit by a main quest giver and see endless hordes of bots all clearly using hacks.
PLEASE get on top of the situation, there were no bots at all in the 3 day Founder early access, and suddenly when f2p hits they’re everywhere. Judging by the forums it’s not just Neria either. if I was starting the game today this would be incredibly off-putting to me, and it’s concerning long-term for the economy and general experience. Obviously bots are unavoidable to a certain extent, even in WoW you’d see Druid bots farming resource nodes (which I’ve also seen here too with Sorceresses) but this amount is incredibly concerning.
I love this game so much, please, please nip this in the bud before it gets totally out of control. Invest resources into a team to either upgrade the anti-cheat software or manually monitor the situation live, like I say just sit by a main quest giver in Loghill or Rethramis Border and you’ll see hundreds.
