Buffboters....

[Ardrias_Mid]

Why cant you with buffbots exp in less normal places?

Like... there are no groups to get, since 90% of mid uses a fucking bot to exp, and thus, I need to solo. But oh no, every god damn spot there is in this fucking realm is camped by random bot and random SI char/SB/zerker.

Sucks. Really. Bleh.

Boo Hoo...

The reason people bring their buffbots to those areas are that it's where the best exp is with the least risk, and they probably know the place.

Up till now I haven't really been any crowded places with my savage, but I tend to explore around a bit and at a little higher risk you can often get much better exp due to camp bonus, and be left in peace.

Generally this should start looking up now tho, as there are allmost twice as many places to go now.

 

[Ardrias_Mid]

Yes... but with a bot there is no risk... That's the point. As a solo savage I cant go through an area filled with red con aggro without getting killed for sure.

 

[klavrynd]

ah well, if you don't know how to play, you might as well get yourself a buffbot

 

[mavericky]

I can understand that it completly sucks having a botted character running around chain killing mobs and leaving non for the normal players. I might suggest that you ask them for some buffs though, most people are decents and will give some if they have spare conc, that way you benefit too.

Aaaauw ard

I'll give u some buffs when I get on tonight

 

[Madonion Slicer]

If you see me about just ask and buffs shall be showered apon you.

 

[Ardrias_Mid]

Think you missed the point... I want to group, not solo with buffs

Grouping is one part that makes the game fun.

I have a bot lvl 41 and tbh I much prefer to group than solo and where I can leave the bot logged off, sometimes I need him to help CC or whatever and then its a nice bonus for the group as a whole.

although at low levels 1-20 most ppl tend to solo incidently these also tend to be the most boring.

/shrug, try asking them to group with you you might be surprised

 

[Dook_Pug]

I use my bot while exping because I don't like to rely on others to gain exp.

I use my bot in RvR because losing to buffbotters (and losing in general for the most part) is no fun, and I only play for fun.

Hehe, count on me then
I can group with you anytime, as long as you dare to pull some nasty con mobs

Just need to get second PC up and running again...
If I'd lived in the US I'd be thinking about sueing Goa for ruining my playable version of DAOC with the latest patch...
My PC still match the requirements stated on the original box of DaOC.....

I wondered where all those mids were..

 

[mid_Efour]

buffbots screw midgard read all about it

OK adrias is right, i dont give a shit if u use a buffbot in RvR, i can deal with it, but since SI has come out something has really really really fucked up.

NO one is LvLing up in groups, its Buffbots and Small random groups with a guilded lvl50 BuffBott.

You are fucking this game up in a way that will only filter through in a month or 2`s time. Im sorry to swear so mcuh but thsi game will be dead in 2 months i forsee it with my jedi powers.

I know all the arguments for/against buffbots so dont go flaming me, but some people have taken it too far, no names mentioned...

Come to hib land no bots needed there.

If you've got an opinion on bots.. take a look at the official thread;

Sorry about posting so much, it's a personal crusade... <cough>

I didn't say that.

 

[ulukin]

TBH I dont think the reason for people not grouping is because of buffbots, its more a lack of support classes needed to make and sustain groups, if you think that since the release of SI a LOT of people are playing bonedancers or savages which is understandable that leaves very few people to play healers or shaman needed for a sucsesful group.

all I can suggest you do is do lots of /who's and try and make your own group or ask in guild if people have alts your level.

EDIT: maybe since you feel so strongly about the situation make a healer or a shamen much easier to start a group when you have a valuble class to a group.

Buffbots are like eating a kebab with a fork: it can make it easier, but its not how it was intended

If peeps want to use buffbots to fast track their chars, let them - they're not learning the full capabilities of their char and they are not going to have that edge that only comes from having done it the hard way at times.

I'm having a ridiculous amount of fun specifically going and doing things that might get my toon killed just to see how far I can push it. I don't encounter the buffbot brigade often because I hunt other places and it hasn't been much of a problem except for once at the weeping willows near Gna (when I wanted to test something since I was passing) and someone with a high level buffbot who believed they owned the area took offence when I killed one mob out of an entire spawn zone. I chuckled and moved on: another lvl50 noob in the making.

Cindy isnt a buffbot
