Distribution parties with bots are ok?

[tedtwilliger]

As quoted from sra

3. No partying with bots (except for CTF and distribution (4/4) parties), including:

- No powerleveling (either giving or receiving).
- No grind parties.
- No job parties.
- No unique-hunt parties.

Now im slightly confused here. Shouldn't it be disallowed to distribution grind with players that aren't on the white list? If someone isn't going to interact and help bots out by autoshare partying with them why are distribution parties excluded from this rule?

Is it simply because legits tend to grind more in autoshare parties and the rarity of legit distribution parties make it hard to do so? Or is there a more justified reason? Because in all honesty this has me pretty confused.

If u know there bots.. why would u wanna even Distribution pt with them? Just make a 4/4 with a legit group. Of like.. chinese.

if its auto share your helping them lvl thats bad you dont wana help bots lvl

in a dist party your not helping the bot your not buffing him
its just 10% more exp for you and like 95% of legits are euro who dont go in dist pts so your never gonna get on then

[tedtwilliger]

But the thing is you are helping them level. You are giving them exp much like you are in an autoshare pt. Sure you are physically leveling with them but because of you, bots are leveling faster.

Considering Avalon persuades people not not form friendships with bots shouldn't giving them a free 10% exp be disallowed as well?

[non ego man]

Bots are finding it really hard to form share parties without us. It's driving them crazy.

Finding dist parties couldn't be easier for a bot and having a rule about not joining them wouldn't hurt them in the least.

I agree with you in theory, but in reality they'd just laugh at a prohibition on dist parties where they cry about the prohibition on share parties.

if anything that would hurt the few legit players out there that prefer to play chineese (or the 1s that have to solo as euros every so often). if we didnt join those distribution pts honestly how long do u think it would b until some1 else did? we might b helping them a tiny bit, but we're helping ourselves by doing that as well.

ya banning it would just hurt legit soloers too much, in a distro party you aren't getting any xp from a bot you are getting xp from what you do, in a share party you'd be botting indirectly, in the distro party that spot could be filled with some one who is stalling and it doesnt' matter, joymax put in the xp bonus to promote social interaction but look how things became.

On the other hand you are technically right, i perfer to 4/4 with real people then bots it just makes it more enjoyable, which is why i usually have at lesat one union mate in party when i solo, just form your own parties and tell mates, if they join great, kick others to make room for mates if they go solo for a while.

you are physically leveling with them

I dont think u understand what a 4/4 party is.

i lol'd

[Mishiru]

4/4 pt is helpfull for you and for bots xD they get the 10% exp and you too xD

[Axie]

a 4/4 pty with bots is allowed cause us who play chinese characters have a trouble finding a legit 4/4 pty since there's so little of us on the server.

[Fly]

bots auto invite to 4/4 parties. so if u dont take the spot, 5 seconds later a bot will take the spot. by not joining u dont hurt the bots 1 bit. by joining u take up a spot that some bot would take.

[thechampion80]

you know in distribution parties you only get xp for what you kill right

[tedtwilliger]

So taking a random snippet of information and taking it out of its context and intended message to say something which is completely stupid? Nice try mate.

Dunno why you're getting all snippy, he had a valid point. People have answered your question several times in this thread, you just fail to see it.


The ratio of legit euro to chinese characters are at least 5:1 at ~50. Probably 10:1 50+ (guesstimate). I wouldn't want to not get that exp bonus just because there are no 100% legit distribution parties out there, sure you are giving the bots an exp bonus as well, but another bot would fill the spot up anyway, and don't say they wouldn't because they do.

Who said i didnt see the answer? I read what was said and understand the reason behind the decision. I was simply saying taking a random bit of sentence to make a statement which is incorrect is kinda silly >_>

Sure, but now you know why it's ok to 4/4 with bots.

[tedtwilliger]

As i do. Guess a mod can lock this if they see it. Thanks for the replies.

Lol.
Whole phrase :

Sure you are physically leveling with them but because of you, bots are leveling faster.

Pretty much the same...
and btw even if you dont join, as fly said, another bot will join
so we dont hurt them 1 bit.

[DeathFromAfar]
