- Up to Feb 3 - Bots Situation UPDATE( after "removing" CAPTCHA)

I’m telling you why it’s not. Even the Data you posted clearly suggests it’s not.

You are watching a Korean player playing in South Korea. I can assume people do it and refer “inflation” “bots related” to the subject at hand.

Wait you believe an RMT website that claims they have 10M gold… that they are selling said gold… and assuring players that they have the gold to sell? Readily available.

It will take a while for them to recover.

You are listening to a Twitch streamer repeat the same “inflation” talk which he clearly never fully comprehends how REAL INFLATION works.

I can assume… that he is basing it on the price of Blue Crystals on his server. “Forgot” conveniently that we are using U.S. Dollars, not Korean Won. That is just a safe assumption.

Also unlike your data sets it makes sense.

Thanks for pumping the thread. I hope they can still see this as a reminder that don’t let bots fully come back.

They are already back, close to 200k “players” and growing. Gotta wait for the next ban wave in like 6 weeks or so.

After update and maintainance: Around 60k

1 Days after update: 13:00 20 19 Jan. Back to 100k.

Let me guess the “inflation” caused by bots is up too right?

I’m sure it is Thursday Night somewhere.

But looking at Hypnos’s Eyes I barely see them freely running around. Maybe they are inputting them one by one now which takes a lot of time.

Primarily talking about NA-W here. Looks like the Captcha is slowing them down. I don’t know about other regions.

Captcha seems to have had an impact. Lost ark is out of Top 5 games (in terms of population) in steam charts for the first time in a year. Once Captcha is implemented in NAE and EUC (there are hardly any bots in EUW), I predict 20k overall population with LA going out of Top 10.

doing good, a lot of real player mokoko at prideholme , havent seens bots, but multiboxer still around, maybe its time for AGS put sniper scope on those multiboxer

I think they didn’t implement the captcha yet in NA-E. Probably the bots are operating in NA-E?

true, also its chinese new year, so lets wait until chinese new year ends, and see how it goes

Steam for FFXIV only tracks the Steam players, not the PS/Client players, why are we even comparing this.

Destiny 2’s majority of players is also on PS4/5 not PC xDD

The captcha is only enabled on NAW so AGS can test its effectiveness and the reactions of legit players.

Also i heard NAW had the most bots so i guess makes sense theyd be the guinea pigs.

I notice we have 4 cycling of “Busy” channels in NA-W. I don’t know about about other regions NA-E.

I assume the bots operate cycling 4 servers at a time.

I don’t know how you equate that to most bots, if most mean the majority of the servers that are online with a lot of bots sure.

Not they just carry own bots;p

One region have captcha atm
real numbers will be significantly lower
Assuming bots will not overcome it fast enogh

I wonder why

That is close proximity to Asia. They can still operate in other regions…

Unless you are talking about why our Blue Crystals are higher than other regions…

The simple solution here is lots of players in South America and Asian countries that can’t afford the $ rate and choose to buy Blue Crystals creating a high demand just the same as South America?

I mean we don’t even have bots anymore and the prices of BC are still going up…

Oh I was being facetious

Part of it is because of the heavy RMT influnce in Asia along with NAW being the closest they can access the game without a huge amount of ping

However I think another part of it could be that NAW has the highest number of player used bots as well, since it looks like the “legit gold” market will possibly be booming up soon

Sprinkle in the thought that NAW also has the highest amount of people who RMT, either legit or more likely, not legit

It makes for a perfect recipe of Global’s guinea pig

Godspeed, you fuzzy balls of cuteness

If they really want to control the price set standard pricing.

I meant technically every roster makes around 50-60k gold MIN I doubt all those BC sales are from RMT.

You add the fact that there is Hyper Express Event, Bracelets I assume everyone with money will try to make the most of it. They more likely place it at the high price. Also considering the average honing is a lot higher… I assume that is where they get their pricing. Just like the 250-400g Blue Crystals i assume the closest value is T1-T3 min taps.
