I just gotta ask , have any of your people who complain about the over botted state of the game logged in the last week. Popular bot spots are turnin up ghost town. The bot arguement is starting to move in the same direction as the people who complain that the game is grind (as ease at it is to get xp doing anything at all it take no time to level). Just seems to be people hanging on their few arguements, whether they are being addressed or not.

 

The bots are still there. Although for some reason most are assassins now, instead of gladiators. Even saw a chanter the other day.

I think it's different, server to server. Some servers have more and some have less.

 

If people like you didnt buy gold there wouldnt be any bots. Think about ...

Aion has conquered all international gaming markets, jealous of a Korean success? I think you are. It must burn you inside that all the Aion servers are ful of activity and everyone is have fun.

The bottom line is all successful MMOs will have bots and gold sellers, these criiminals will always be ahead of any gaming company. NCsoft has killed off the gold spam and their banning bots on MY server. An Entire bot gold guild got banned last week thats action right their. They cant ban them all but their trying ... look at WoW its infested with RMT still after 5 years, dont dismiss this as fact.

 

 

 

 

 

You must have never played Lineage 2. You know, that other NC Soft game. The one that is Aion, minus the wings. Yeah, it was completely overrun with bots until everyone (for the most part) stopped paying attention to it. Problem is, NC Soft "tried" to take control of it, and never did.

Also, could you please define "conquered" because I'm pretty sure we're thinking of two different words...

 

I dont care about Lineage, never played it.

I have fun in Aion, i play Aion. Bots and gold sellers are getting banned. If you cant except that then go troll another game you dont play. The reason these forums have gone down the toilet is because of people like you, your worse than the botters in a sense.

 

 

Lineage is the reason why Aion even exists, just because you don't care about it doesn't mean I'm trolling (though I probably am...) I was saying that from what I'm hearing from my friends who play Aion, it sounds like its being handled exactly how they handled L2, which means that while botting and spam may fluctuate from server to server and over time, unless NC Soft does something different this game will go down the same way L2 did. But I do agree with some on this forum. If Aion is so awesome then why do so many people have to come here and feel they have to defend it? Why not just play the game and let people have their own opinions?

So you have never played Aion ... Obvious troll is well obvious. You can't even form an opinion on the game if you havn't played it. So im done replying to you, have a productive day trolling forums.

Aion is a great game for the first 30 or so levels. I got to 39 having fun the whole way. However, I got to a point where grinding mobs for hours on end wore me out.

I didn't enjoy competing with bots for a source of entertainment. The game has potential, and it's inital impression is great. If you don't mind bots, RMT spam, a grind fest of a game, or lack in end game content, Aion is perfect right now. It's got a good base but needs a lot of work.

I guess I will try and give a very objective opinion, will probably get flamed but here goes:

I have a rank 5 39 sin and I am in one of the top three legions on my server, my wife fell sick about a week ago so my grind came to a halt and also gave me some time to reflect why I am not eager to log back in. 

1. My number one reason whether right or wrong is the damm bots and gold spammers, they are rampant in Heiron and Tbom, they roll on your mobs you are trying to kill without regard. I know some will say well group up and that won't be an issue, while that is true why should I have to rely on legion mates etc to just do some quests to combat the rampant bot issue.? The gold sellers just set up a Priv shop and spam all day long the same bots in the same spots and nothing is done. Again if people did not buy gold or whatever this would not be an issue but people do. Face it some people want the best gear so instead of earning it they go buy the gold. In all honesty maybe we should all face the facts that people buy gold and maybe just maybe these companies should just sell the fucking money to those that want to spend real money to accomplish being LEWT. That would in effect eliminate the botters and gold spammers for the most part..

2. Endgame I really have no clue what the endgame is at this point in time. Fortress in all actuality hold no meaning once they are captured besides lowering the tax rate. There is zero incentive right now to defend these forts. I know getting to the top ranking is what the personal endgame is but the PvP while it can be fun is sorta pointless. I miss the old DAOC catle and keep raids and least there was a meaning to holding and defending a keep you took. There are no high end raid zones so to speak for a Legion to pull togehter and do a few nights a week.

3. The grind while I wholeherartdly agree this is not nowhere near L2 or even old EQ grind, it is a fucking boring grind 36+, and yes I collected well over 300 molars. I can't drag myself to go back to KHQ, is is just to me a mindless grind. The alternatives are to go do some quests in Heiron but as I stated above that place is just full of bots making it difficult. Once you run LW, RW sulfer etc you are done for 17 hours till you can go again and even these only take with a good group 15-20 min for minor xp. So you are left yet again to grind somewhere some how. Aether labs is fun the first couple times but damm not after the 6th time. Something needs to be done about the lack of meaningful questiing high 30's and up.

4. Abyss PvP, I can't remember how many times I was wishing I rolled a ranger or another ranged class at some of the teleporter battles. I find myself 1/2 the time hanging by a templar waiting for him to pull someone in close, if I stray to far away I get yanked in and bang I am dead while ranged classes just sit back and let the AP roll in. I find it fustrating as a melee class with very little durability, I do dart in get a gank here or there but not as much as I would like. Open world PvP is meh you don't even get AP after killing the same toon a few times, and while killing bots is always fun the reason I PvP is for a challenge, bots are not a challenge.

5. Chat, LFG and general most of the time make barrens chat seem like Oxford Univeristy.

I am hoping that maybe playing my Templar alt will invigorate my desire to play but the thought of grinding KHQ, LC etc does not have me frothing at the bit to do again. The game is extremely polished for the most part as far as bugs and that sort of thing, while not a animie fan I do like the armor and weapon skins for the most part. I just find something lacking that does not have me eager to log, like EQ, PRE CU SWG, DAOC and even WoW had. That is my honest opinion I am not a troll nor fanboy just someone giving what I hope was an objective opinion.

This.

What I'm finding out more and more is alot of people who are leaving played the game for the PvP but they can't stand to grind through the PvE just to PvP.  And thus you have the reason why games that mix PvP with PvE never work out (or haven't done it right yet) because usually the playerbase is one or the other, usually not both.  In this game the PvP player has to go through endless grind of PvE, which is not the main reason he/she's playing the game.  Even the PvE player isn't satisfied because there isn't enough PvE content to keep them happy.

Thus, we arrive at the point we are at now.  It's too bad really.
