AT, removal of payment and Bots

You focus heavily on eliminating foreign payments to players, yet this is what actually
give Bigpoint more cash by try close eyes abit on who live were...

And meanwhile, the irony in it all, AT and bots are flourishing more and more of....

A good friend of mine once said: AT kills the wars, and bots kill the game, 100 % facts!


The problem with the server isn't payments, it's bots and the increased use of third-party

programs users, as well as the maaaaaaaaassive volume of quests and requirements Bigpoint

imposes. I spent 4!!!!, four hours on event quests yesterday. And on top of that,

you have a tons of other demands: daily requirements, thorpys, Røk, atlantis, season +++

My proposal is this: legalize botting, not the specific program itself of course, but

the concept. Make it less attractive to want to use bot.



As for people with zero morals who can't fight without cheating = ban immediately. No more "Scar" , no more warnings

just delete their accounts and get rid of them permanent.



You want money; we players want more freedom and time for the fun parts of the game,

rather than spending five hours!!! on quests and EXP / ELP, which is, quite frankly,

iiiiiiincredibly boring. So, let us buy our way out of doing the missions,let us pay

using pearls, crowns, yulong , etc complete quests instantly.



It’s time again,this is the fourth time in seven years I’ve mentioned this

time for a new round of bans!!!

 

You're absolutely right, it is all one very bad joke. When Bigpoint finally does give out a debuff (and it must take them forever to catch someone, *if* they catch them), the cheater gets severely punished for only 14 days. *Then*, the subsequent penalties do a 180-degree flip, and the next debuff gives like only a 2.5% penalty on their stats, versus the initial 100% penalty. It makes no sense! My best guess is they really don't want to anger the cheaters, who apparently drop big bucks to stay in everyone's favor. And as you know, when we mention this, our thread gets promptly closed! (As this one will be). I guess the truth hurts.

According to my logbook, I recently was sunk by one player "14 times in 7 seconds". I'm virtually positive that this player bots. He fights me quite well, and then eventually he activates it, and then I chain him like 40+ times without his returning my fire. He filled Atlantis map 4-2 with the two big admirals (like 8 of them at once), but just continued shooting the regular npcs (no admirals), no doubt to earn season coins. And tonight, I fought a guy who sank me 3 times in 5 seconds! I can't log back on fast enough for anyone to legitimately do that to me. And this same guy shot me with (what was maybe crystal) ammo that somehow immobilized my ship, and the Unstoppable and Blood of Inya items I used to thwart him didn't free me! Weird!

As for reporting the first botter to Support - they emailed me "we take it seriously, and work hard to stop it", etc. I thought "14 sinks in 7 seconds" is pretty good proof he is using something. Well - he received no debuff. I reported him again. They just sent me the exact same form email as the initial one. It's just one big deceptive lie. And they don't want any of us to even leak a hint of that fact. As to your post, I would only disagree on making botting more freely accepted. They should devote the resources to really try to completely stop it. Plus, be transparent, and post the boat names of cheaters. After all, the boat names don't identify anyone. The names are made-up! It insults all of us to act like there is a privacy issue here. Lastly, let us discuss botting in our forum, and don't keep silencing us.

 

Ahoy Pirates!
