Not to mention they would have been more successful if you didn't have to carry a bunch of potions and charges to buff yourself anyway. I'm pretty sure people wanted a server where they just had to get capped stats resists and be ready to RvR.

Free full delve buffs are on the horizon imo. Mythic has finally caved that buffbots do not equate to more subscriptions. Making the game easier for new people to pick up and casual players to play is the correct route. Giving everyone full delve buffs would have more people playing imo.

I don't buy into the argument that they would lose money by losing buffbots.

People would still need to run bots for PvE. Or if they want other buffs like ABS buff, dmg add, heal procs, resist buffs, endo reduction, etc. And people would still run bots for macro teams, etc.

You (and the maker of the graphs) seems to be making the mistake of equating "subscriptions" with "players".



the charts werent made from posted subscriber numbers from mythic, they were made by watching the active players online....

because mythic didnt post regular subscriber numbers...

so nice attempt at a strawman defense... but it didnt work out

anything but being online.


online = playing, if someone likes to log in and do nothing, but on lets say a mauler, its the same thing, just that i can take advantage of a bots buffs.

EDIT!

your analogy changes nothing but values, instead of my bot giving me X to stats its now Y, its the same thing. if your crying that buffs make the haves vs the have not stronger, well again, one is paying double the money, why should we be on the same playing field?

Certainly you should not be on the same playing field, 1 person should be as strong as 1, and 1 person playing two accounts should be as strong as 2. But 1 friend should not be able to make his other friend stronger by standing afk at a borderkeep 20000 units away.

if someones gonna put in 10 hours of gaming a day vs your 2, why should you both get the same amount of stuff?

I'm not sure if you actually thought I suggested this, but I clearly did not.
