A solution for the bot exploiters

Custom game with bots was a one of the best additions of the game. But exploiters really squeezed it too hard so devs disabled it. I can understand that. But disabled it completely also punish the players who doesn’t exploit it at all. So I have a solution for that. In a good game, I can earn 30000 XP normally with premium. I bet there is lots of players who can earn more.

So devs can just put a limit to earnable exp in the games in custom mode. Like maximum 45k exp. With that way, they can enable the bots again and everyone will be happy.

I and most reasonable people would be 100% okay with a high limit like that 25-40k

Or it would be nice to set a limit by looking at the abnormal kill/point count.
For example, if you go over 500 kills+ or 30k points, you get kicked.

I love solving problems in these different ways.
In a way that only affects the abusers, not the good players.
I don’t think it’s right to delete this, delete that and reduce it… like the whos do.

It seems that they have limited the number of bot squads to 2 (at any time) and also reworked the number of tickets in invasion games 8so it decreases very quickly, more than actual number of bots being killed).

100k XP for Campaign lvl 15? Ha should be 500k! :roll_eyes: nearly a month of on and off playing isn’t enough time to enjoy a single campaign. Should be 5 months of off and on playing! Lol game is too short

Eh, that really kills the fun too. Cap the XP reward for bots lobbies to, say, 40k/day, or 5 battles, whichever you hit first.

Tickets and kills were never equal. Even matches where attacker captured 4 points i have never seen defender have 1000 kills combined.(airfield might be execption cause baloons but kills are still much less then US tickets used)

Also if you check tickets when spawning you can see it decreases lot more then you spawn soldiers.

Ofcourse other people might spawn same time but changes that every time i have spawned past year someone else spawn exactly same time are pretty small

The decision to limit bots from custom games was the quickest and easiest way to stop the farmers from exploiting the poor bots.

They said it was a temporary change. I’m sure the bots will be back as soon as they come up with the best way to keep bots from being abused by villainous rabble …

My take away from this whole situation is being surprised that DF didn’t have the fore thought to know that exploiters would run rampant … I think everyone on the forums knew it would happen the moment it was released

Kind of like the lack of fore thought with regard to soldier progression changes. How could you put a system like that in place with no way for starting players to get silver

Or no way for veteran players to get rid of soldiers they dont need any more ?
