Hi valued F2P customer. We know we have some major issues you brought up in your message. Here are our responses to the 2 most important.

 

1. Summoners suck to fight, stale overplayed. - Most of them are going to roll warlock, both of which will be brought to an even tier soon.

 

2. Bots, they are in all versions. We put them there in PvP to make sure newbs don't waste our time in gold, and so players can't farm kills off themselves as easy. Get better at the game please, if you can't beat computer AI you need serious improvement, no excuses. NONE

Seems legit. My only issue is with the reason the bots are infesting pvp in the first place. Experienced two servers of a game before, one with bots and one without. Prices were inflated to maybe 30 times as much on the bot infested server.

Two fixes for the bot problem.

 

1. NCsoft bans them

2. Players get better and stop losing to them, and then you'll only see them in silver.
