Its unsuitable altogether.... To say its ok for Admins to shut down is an outrage. Or, maybe that's what its all about - torpedo RO2.

Will bots always be allowed on ranked servers?
- Thread starter captain pain
- Start date
We don't need 200 servers when we can barely manage that many players most of the time.

You ain't too bad yerself there Heku....
We were talking about bots until the thread was hijacked by two other guys..... not I. I merely replied.
I still believe bots should or should not be used at the discretion of the ADMIN/Server Owner.

To discuss the bots issue you need to look at all the facts, otherwise you'll just turn it into a flame fest with poor arguments being tossed around.
Bots are good, and bots are bad. If you cannot accept that you should not discuss them as you are too narrow minded. Personally I think they are a lot worse than they are good though ofc.

Better workin' me over than TWI & RO2....... Besides, it clearly shows the maturity of those we are dealing with.

Ah well, I've got some shocking statistics to post!
As of 1am GMT, thursday. (not the best time to actually find these statistics out I might add)
37% of the players listed in the steam browser for RO:OST are actual players. (54 players, 89 Bots)
31% of the players listed in the steam browser for RO2 are actualy players. (356 players, 779 bots)
So they are comparible. Pretty close in-fact.
Fuck. Wish it wasn't quite like this, but that's what we've got, no point dwelling on it. Move on!
While bots can be usefull for getting servers going, the sheer amount that some servers have makes them a mild anoyance rather than the tool for getting players on, and their predictable nature and un-willingness to fire from anywhere that isn't a covernode (not that they can't, just they prefer to) makes them somewhat simple to flank and get easy points against.
However, I could settle with bot kills giving 30% of the points given for when the player kills a human, to make bot-farming a less attractive option.

Admins and players are to blame, imo. Some admins run far too many bots and some players can't be bothered to play on a server has but one bot on it.
A server running 50 bots is not the same thing as the same size server running 8 bots or less. And for someone not to join a server with 5 players and two bots just because it has two bots is just as extreme as the admin running 50 bots. If just two "I hate bots" players joined that server, there would be know bots to hate. Both give the other a bad name.
I think Raneman is second person in all my years on this forum to earn a spot on the my CP ignore list..... Its apparent his forum posts can be just as annoying as his whine is on a server.....

The guy doesn't care for facts, he follows my posts and has a dig wherever he feels he can. Maybe one day he'll realize he's on my ignore list and save himself the effort

An interesting statistic that I feel would be more relevant than just player:bot ratio would be how spread out the players are. It's probably not as bad as it used to be but I still still quite a lot of 1/64(or whatever) servers where it's just one guy farming bots all day long. That's something you wont ever see in RO1 or DH
