Holy shit, I'm not gonna read your novel. You should publish it on amazon, though.

As for the original question: I'd play no-alt no-bot world, because that has been my mode of operation since w2. I don't mind bots and alts, though, and I haven't seen any serious botting yet, even in big villages. Farm bots and mammoth checker bots at most.

Some people are so out of touch with reality it's unbelievable, yes let's make the game as tedious as possible and make sure to kill it.

Black Desert Online, a popular MMO where mass PvP is considered endgame content that doesn't allow direct trading or dropping stuff. You can have multiple characters on one account but having multiple accounts is totally useless and can only slow down your progression.

Honestly, and its ok if this is the case, I think haven actually just isn't the game for you. Its 2 dudes, you're asking the impossible for them to COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL FORMS OF BOTTING from the game.

You completely reject the notion of "we agree with you, but rather than ban bots, lets fix the mechanics" you're hellbent that nothing is wrong with the games mechanics and everybody playing this game shouldn't have a wife, kids, job, school, studies, anything outside of it and should spend their entire time in the game or they don't deserve anything.

You're out of touch with the majority this games existing audience, most of the players have been here for a long time. And i'm sorry but the attitude of "the audience is so small you can't cater to just them" sure, but you need an active alternative audience for that to be true, otherwise you're just killing the game for the sake of killing the game.

You seem to be unwilling to constructively discuss any real alternatives that aren't "ban everybody and kill their dogs too" so just enjoy the game, you do you, don't use bots, play it how you want to play it and sleep soundly knowing you earned the products of your efforts.

What gets me, is you speak of people who were from the old times. Yet this game has devolved so much from what it was in the "old times" It doesn't even look like what it was. Then you go on this tirade about how "Oh dear, If i want to achieve PEAK performance with Quality, I HAVE TO BOT. Game mechanics bad, boo hoo. I AGREE Game mechanics are bad, But you are NOT helping at All as 2 Wrongs do NOT make a right. And, Guess what, IF YOU Want to do anything in life this is Hard or Takes Sacrifice, The answer is NOT CHEATING! Also, Just Like Dawidio. Oh no, you can't have our bots, you didn't grovel enough for them and I don't care for you and could care less that this gives me SUCH A FUCKING ADVANTAGE over all who don't. I'm sure its true all the Major villages uses bots for about everything. Probally, thats how they are THE FUCKING MAJOR Villages. Hate to tell ya you and all who Advocate for Bots and alts or whatever Excuse you give. You are part of the PROBLEM and not the Solution.

But I really don't hold as much contempt for you and your bot buddies as I do for J&L.

They were the chosen ones, they were supposed to destroy those who fucked up this game, not join them. Bring balance to this game, not leave it in botting darkness. You were our brothers in this game and we loved you.
