100 DeMatt Beta Testers 365 posts 12,391 battles Report post #4 Posted March 29, 2016 Huh. I'd noticed Cymodoce being incompetent before this CV-bot brouhaha brewed up, but I didn't at the time know that a CV-bot had started showing up. And it's one of the Nereids off that list, too. I'll have to remember to cross-check with that list when I suspect something - since my classical Greek mythology knowledge is at the "generally useless" level.

0 anonym_76iqf0dp5Wvy Members 759 posts Report post #6 Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) you know what. Archeage had bots with these names, seems like the go to names for botters. I wouldnt doubt it. BUT, they are a pain to remove still. Edited March 29, 2016 by anonym_76iqf0dp5Wvy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

110 DedPan ∞ Beta Testers 514 posts 5,264 battles Report post #10 Posted March 29, 2016 3 games in a row with these wastes of space tonight in Lexingtons. Pretty much kills any desire to play at high tiers, especially when the other side gets an actual human. Think WG will actually do crapabout this or will they treat it like the old 14 bots teams in WoT and deny it up and down even in the face of video evidence?

With that low WR, I assume that they barely survive playing T7. Unless they buy silver ofc, but that's kinda defeat the purpose of botting. Anybody trying to enter a battle when low on silvers? Did it bring you flat to zero or negative value if you lose, or disallowed before you entering a battle? Edited March 29, 2016 by Cruiser_Haguro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,889 [HINON] Phoenix_jz Members 7,795 posts 2,144 battles Report post #24 Posted March 29, 2016 Brilliant... God, I wish we could just TK these.guys without penalty... Though is suppose we can stop spam them with bot reports Awfully cocky... Makes me think of a supervillain, tbh. Just with the style of naming, it almost feels... Narcissistic. What with naming them after Greek godlings and all. At least it makes them easy to identify XD 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yes the other guy I suspected being a bot 3 days ago had also many games at the Königsberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
