It has to be exhausting paying for server bandwidth so that bots can eat up 90% of it…
The cost it must be against the company to be losing legit spenders. The population disappearing to the point we can’t find queues for even Challenge dungeons in the evening hours midnight to sunrise. The game has been dominated by cheating for so long what are you afraid of banning cheaters for? The frauding of active players by botters a lie that someone still believes?
The market is dead in ways that only matter to money laundering 3rd party vendors.
You could easily fix this by removing the peer to peer market and making it an NPC exchange. The bots would disappear and the legit spender would rise like a phoenix from the ashes. Selling pets instantly to an exchange to platinum would resurrect the F2P population in a matter of hours. You would see F2P blazing through content, and enjoying the Pet RNG for the fattest Platinum gains ever closing the massive gap created by pilots and cheating.
It is the same people in BGs over and over again losing to ToS violating pilots and cheaters who used 3rd party services.
The same Rite of Exile reign trades also dominated by ToS violating pilots and cheaters.
The same Bout of Account sharing cheating tournament…
The remnant of legit have few options:
Are we suppose to keep seeing the same thing as the game continues to die and smile about the developers self destruction, enjoy watching the game burn itself down.
I need to shut up, say nothing pretend it is not happening, and/or quit sell my 10,000 reso account like the others?
Honestly, I’d get more money back if i back charged all my expenses for the last 6 months.
All I’m reading here is a whining baby with buyer’s remorse. As admitted by you, you were still spending gobs of money over the past 6 months. These problems that you speak of are a lot older than 6 months, so guess what, you’ve been knowingly spending and playing a game with all these issues. Now there are people playing on accts that are as strong or stronger than you and you’re mad because they people playing them spent less? Grow up bro. Hopefully the act of spending the money was also fun for you. Hopefully building up your character was also fun for you. That’s what acct buyers are missing out on. I’m still putting quarters into this machine, and so are you. We both know what we’re getting when we do it so don’t act all mad and throw a tantrum after the fact.
they have gotten exeptionally worse over the past 6 months i noticed tho, my server went from having max of 1000 sapphires on market at any given time to over 10,000 currently so its alot worse then it’s ever been
The bots are the kings of this game — at least in my cluster there are more bots than actual players.
I wonder how many other players, like me, are still here more because of the investment we’ve made in this game than for actually enjoying it, haha. It’s honestly pretty sad.
All games are cash grabs in the persuit of profit… When a game is dominated by cheating, it ceases to be a game and becomes a platform of abuse and exploitation.
When it dies, this will be the 1st Blizzard game to completely destroy itself with lack of enforcement as it requires a population threashold for the majority of it’s activities.
You can’t keep a legitimate spender population active and destroy them with a majority of whale population cheaters. The smaller the population gets the more obvious the cheating becomes, big shocker right?
Lol, it is almost like they are asking for mass layoffs and closure of this game. They are in a prison of their own design, it looks like the only way out for them. Making content for cheaters to rob you of profits isnt a great strategy for stability of employment.
Cheating, bots, and all kinds of automation seem to be “allowed,” apparently only for certain groups. I’ll leave this video here — found it in another recent thread.
