Title says it all.  Just takes one bot more on your side to push the odds heavily in the other teams favour.
 
Is there no way to filter out bots, like having to input a 4 digit number every time you queue for PvP or something?  There must be an easy way to filter them out of the PvP queue before they even start a match.
 
Bots were the reason I left in the first place, along with all the other PvP'ers who left for the exact same reason.
 
For those that don't PvP, bots are much more of a problem than in PvE.  Imagine starting a time locked raid only to find one of your team members is a bot but you can't kick them.

			Meh, sadly there isn't much that can be done, since there is always someone behind the program always ready to change the code to adapt to whatever Carbyne can dish out.	
----
			What about if you have to enter a code every time you queue?	
----
			apparently that type of security can be bypassed by bots, hence why google tried to make a better one to counter them, except they bypassed that too, not sure what effects it would have in a game, but i guess the achievement of "at least you tried" would be nice enough to see ~_~

			Humm no clue if this is a good idea at all, but what about if before you can sign up for any pvp match you need to imput a code that is sent to you via txt message on your phone?

			Perhaps extreme is where this needs to be taken.

			Just adding that color memory game console behind the gates could solve it.

			The current state of lowbie pvp:https://youtu.be/OT6cTOGCBL4honestly this is so sad

Just had a dreadful afternoon. Halls would have been hilarious is it was a youtube channel and not a game.  Packs of bots running around in their set patterns... If one of the pack caught you though, the rest would eventually join in and totally freight-train you.
 
It's just so f*****g pointless and a waste of a good game... for the second time around!
 
 
Oh, and this is in LVL 50 games.

It takes longer than one day to combat bots. When they did it before they did it really well, give carbine time to work out what the bots are scripted to do, and make sure to report all the bots you can so they have as much information as possible.
 
I saw a bot malfunctioning and posting it's script in /say, so I made sure to copy and paste that into a support ticket.

			yet to see a bot. In my guild I see low lvls whining about bots whenever they lose lol

			Bots are definitely in the low level brackets, only way to avoid them is to queue for halls/daggerstone.

Bots are there all right.  If you were in at the beginning of Wildstar and watched PvP die a lonely, bot filled death, then you can spot them a mile away.  You also don't get to lvl 50 and play exactly the same way you did at lvl 10 either.  Once you know what to look for, they stick out like a horny dog's d**k.At least before you could craft your own PvP gear which was better than the drops/vendor stuff. 
 
In fact... can bots craft?  What about if you had to exchange your (can't remember the name of the PvP currency) for ingredients that can only be made into PvP gear and there was a PvP crafting hobby where you'd craft the stuff yourself once you've the correct ingredients, but you're able to mess with the bonuses a bit, so you can have a bit of Crit Mit instead of Crit Hit, but not random like regular crafting.
 
I dunno, there must be someway to gate bots from entering the PvP queue.
 
The other alternative is to be done with it all, give everyone the opportunity to by a lvl 50 PvP character for plat or something, remove rewards from PvP altogether then give up and just delete PvP from the game.

			Did carbine confirm about doing anything about the bots?	
----
			yeah I have only been back about 8 days since I heard about Free To Play, and I am already thinking about leaving, every PvP match at 29-49 seems to have like 4-5 BOTS in them.

Here's a lesson on how bots are identified in mmorpg's 
 
Scroll a bit down to get a rundown on how they actually work and why it's actually hard to stop them.
 
TLTR: It takes a lot of tests to make a program that identifies bot patterns, it takes less time for the guy behind them to improve them, the best they can do is just make bots inefficient, but that still won't stop them from being in the game.
 
To stop them from entering pvp requires more drastic measures.
