I'm curious, how are they doing afk servers? I take a short break to get a drink and snack and i'm logged out. As for the bots they seem quite formidable, especially when we push aggressively. I don't see them just standing around
AFK servers are exactly what they're called, you spawn into the game and do nothing, you get spawned from one sector to the other and take the sector, that is how they farm XP, well anyway that was how they did it in the Beta, i once joined 10 min to see what it was all about. The only thing i know is that it can seriously f up your cpu and gpu, and probably cause memory leaks, i remember my ram being 10 gig for the 10 min i was in there, normally i don't get more than 1 gig for a day's gaming. I don't know what they are about, but what i know is that the owners don't make them out of charity. Imo many accounts in there are theirs and they farm to then sell max tier accounts on cheat websites, that's the only thing that would make sense to me. Anyhow, it is 100% an exploit and they should be removed.
"I don't see them just standing around" If your pointing at bot farms, well that's the trick, they set the server on a static spawn point and then stand around it shooting the bots before they can even move. But if you let them play and be dispersed they will sure as hell own your ... if you don't pay attention. And that is exactly why all progression needs to come back. There is no bot problem, there's an exploit problem.
