Daily reminder that animal nodes encourage botting

[Okocim]

...

That seems to me like worst idea anyone could come up with
People divide into different professions, so you are saying, I cannot have any miners or farmers in my village if I want hql animals?
I should avoid recruiting new players and should kill on sight and siege every hermit in the area?

I already forgot what kind of goal your idea was meant to achieve.

...

If we assume everything is bottable, what is the point of playing at all?
Based on my experience level of automation you are talking about is an edge case.
Currently looking for animals with bots is basically the only viable way to farm hql bones.
Right now to manually hunt for hql animals, you go to a hql spot, roam for a minute, realise there is nothing spawned, logout, wait 30mins, look again and repeat.
"actively hunting" 1 min out of every 30 is a very fun gameplay indeed.
I'd rather have animal quality be completely random, forcing ppl to kill everything, it would at least be more fun gameplay for people that do not use bots.
Added benefit would be that casual players would get a chance of actually getting high quality animals too.

Issue with outright removing quality nodes, aside from realm's static buffs- is that the gameplay loop is to grind quest trees to boost your local X. Over time your craft your own best node. (Ones that spawn on top q nodes had a HUGE advantage, much like whoever finds that first top q Well)

This still needs a change

Also support.

So instead of 1 bot that check 1 location, i need 5 bot that will farm 24/7 5 different full protected location. And i will get 10% of hi q animals that spawn in a world.
Nice idea guys. NO joking

I don't care how many bots you use. I, as a casual, just want to be excited when I see a random bear/angler/whatever because it can be decent quality instead of having to walk to a specific spot every 30 minutes hoping something spawned there. I do enough of that when harvesting candleberries early game. Maybe it's better if you dont get 100% of the high quality animals anyway, because it means high quality bones/hides will be valuable trade goods for hermits.

I believe this is a good recitation of the issue.

I really want to see you grind 400 survival, gear, str/agi/con on 5 accounts, and develop a bot that does the killing for you, to "farm 24/7 5 different locations"
Wtf are those excuses even?

I just want to be able to go out of the palisade myself and look for animals, rather than have 8 alts log in every 20 minutes to check the 8 high spots I've found so far (VERY FUN GAMEPLAY)

Nothing more to add, perfectly written summarise
