Some people are saying that if you chat in local bots will sometimes start spamming you in IMs. As for chat in this game, minus the bots it's not too toxic when it's clear of spam. Mostly people helping each other, lfg ect. I think the bots are chasing the trolls away since it's harder to troll if no one can read what you said in between bot spam.
This game has one of the worst bot problems I've seen in a game in years, and I've played a lot of MMOS in my time, b2p and p2p and f2p. They are doing Islands Soul quests, they are in T3 chaos dungeons, gear honing, island sou quests literally everywhere, warping all over maps, getting in the way, kill stealing in lowby areas, and making their way into 50+ areas.
Curious what region and server?
I've still not really noticed any bots yet, but perhaps they aren't around where I travel.
Might not be as bad on Euro servers. West coast is bad.
So is East coast.
I'm going bot hunting tonight. US East.
I believe that's what is known as a "target rich environment".
So I ran around a lowbie area last night with a friend but didn't see many bots.
Had to show him how to fish and we ran across a stack of who knows how many bots all right on top of each other.
One or more of them seemed to level up every other pull.
Outside of that group, didn't see any others, well, except in chat of course but I can easily ignore that.
