I forgot to mention that the game will eventually go free to play after those 3 months but at this point with such a move they did, I don’t think it’s even worth the time to invest in the game with such a practice. After all they might pull another move like that in the future.
Bots will always be there even if the game is popular or not as long as they can make off anything from it. Pretty much the roaches and rats of MMO’s so its really not something to be a problem as long as the company is actively doing their dealings with them. Unless its BNS tier of bots… Really hate encountering 5 bots for a cross-server dungeon run.
