Also weren't the people behind the credit card fraud already found? Why bring this up and link it to some botters?
Whatever bitter former botter this is give it up, stop acting like you're someone else. Nice to see you magically come out of woodwork after a year of absence just to give a snarky reply to the devs and subtly defend your botting friends. Cute alt acc!
Take out your favorite discord bot and look up my stats. Please back up your evidence before throwing out such heinous claims on an active player you haven't personally seen.
Yes I am friends with some of the people that did botting, and I'm not trying to defend them. I just find this real life witch hunt incredibly silly. The witches were exposed in this post, but they are far from being burned like the previous posts above seem to believe. Botters are going to happen in any game and any platform, you just have to make sure your game and equipment are ready to handle it. There are proper ways to defend against botters, and there are wrong ways. I can think of numerous ways they could have defended themselves against botters before turning to a p2p alternative, and this is what I'm trying to underline here.
Again, I don't claim to be defending these botters, and I don't claim these are their motive, just giving some food for thought. Good and bad aren't as clear as black and white.
If BMG wasted any more time dishing out alternatives they'd all be temporary fixes and the botting would just simply continue as they themself said. P2P was the fastest and most efficient method to deal with the botters.
