.. and all they do is run laps around the circle in Walatiki.
 
 
At first i thought it was a bored player.
 
But 10 games of seeing them i realise its a bot.
 
 
Which makes me sad because i was kinda heartened to the idea he was a Track and Field professional letting off some steam ingame by recreating his passion in game.
 
 
We need to remove bots from PvP again, to restore passion to players.
 
 
I want the players running in circles to be putting their sweat into it.
 
 
 
Bring their dreams back.

Maybe it's superman trying to rewind time and un-break Drop 2.
 
Let the man do his work.

I hate to bring up the cursed word, only whispered in hush tones by the worst evil soceity has to offer! But.......COUGH WOW ahem, what? Erm, has that problem....Always has! If there was a way to get rid of them they'd def have figured it out by now :(.
 
The good news is, however! Bots are the sign of a sucsessful MMO! Just wait until they are killing themselves on the floor of your main city spelling out web addresses with their corpses, then ya know you've hit the big time :D.

I was PVPing first bracket Walatiki last night for about an hour or so.
 
I am playing my little Dom Engineer, and I'm at the bottom of the bracket, so I play D in hopes of slowing down mask steals.
 
This Granok runs into the mask room, with me standing there in plain sight. He never swerves or targets me, just runs right up to the mask and starts stealing it. I shoot him in the face a couple of times and he backs off and takes off running down the cave, like he actually stole the flag. I don't follow. He runs off.
 
Two minutes later, he's back. Same entry, same bee-line to the mask. Same shotgun to the face. Same path out the cave.
 
Two minutes, later, rinse, repeat.
 
Finally, I snap this is a bot, not a player, so I see him come in again, shoot him twice and then follow him out. Instead of shooting him, I just follow him back to his base, where he proceeds to "cap" the mask he didn't have and turn right around to go back to our base, in a big circle. So, while I was there, I snapped up THEIR mask and slunk back to base with the steal - all the while "protected" by my Granok "friend" who was nice enough to provide me some lovely cover.
 
Anyway, this cat was in the next three games, too. Same path. Eventually, I just started killing him. That seemed to slow it down *a little bit* ...

At least that one sounds useful, my one just did the Circle lap for fitness reasons :(
 
 
All the lil' fat chuas couldn't keep up with him.

			I keep having 2-3 bots on my team every time i que. I get the ones that run the laps and the ones that try to attack (very poorly). It makes the BG much harder since youre essentially down players vs the other team (hopefully they also got bots to even out the field!)

			I've come to accept bots as a form of MOBA mechanics in wildstar ;p

			  I have seen a few last night , one ran past me when I was carrying a mask alone . lol

			I am still confused as to why they don't just pay some moderator minimum wage to play the game and just temp-ban any bots they see, and flag their account for investigation.   I suppose there's the argument for gathering intell on the bots in order to wipe them all out at once, or whatever. But in the meantime they're ruining the game for dozens, if not hundreds or thousands, of players.

I volunteer for that job! Pay me more than minimum wage though.

Hey all,
 
We actually have a pretty long dev thread on bots going on right here - https://forums.wilds...he-bot-wars-do/, so I'm going to go ahead and lock this one.
