I am Master Musician on Bloodfin but play on Kettemoor as well with my combat alt. Hadn't been to Kettemoor in a while and recently began spending more time there. I noticed there were no buffbots. Imagine that...
I asked a REAL LIVE buffer (imagine that too) why there weren't any buffbots. Was told there had been an Entertainer War. HUH? I thought to myself while images of entertainers brandishing Sliced Mandoviols and wearing Armored Nalargons doing battle floated through my head.
Anyway it seems that Live entertainers rallied against the buffbots to the point that the Devs had to get involved. Buffbots were banished from cantinas and can only live their zomboid existence in Hotels. GO KETTEMOOR ENTERTAINERS....Well done.
Believe me, when I heard what happened, my only regret is that I couldn't have participated in this myself.
However, there is a downside. Sure, the buffbots are out of the Cantina, but they are still in the hotels. The buffbots and their supporters have also set up two spambots...one at the Starport (I think that one may be gone now), and one at the entrance of the Cantina. These spambots spam in spatial every 10 seconds or so that the buffbots are in the hotel. To go support them, to support the afk (specifically AFK) novices in the hotel by healing with them first, etc. This has had the effect of the majority of the populationof Coronet bypassing the Cantina and going straight to the hotels, leaving the up and comers and live buffers in the Cantina devoid of healing experience and business. Of course, it was like that before, so things haven't exactly gotten worse, but they really haven't gotten better. Instead of being subjected to the buffbots, we're simply subjected to the spam bots that detours everyone to the hotel. The net effect is the same, unfortunately. The buffbot supporters have even started to try to hold events, like combat tournaments in order to make people want to go to the hotel. The war, on Kettemoor, has only just begun. And, I felt it was my duty to let everyone here know what the effects of driving the buffbots out of the Cantina have been, in order for others to be aware of possible repercussions to their actions. Basically, they are doing everything in their power to purposely hurt the live entertainers of Kettemoor.
I'm not saying, don't get them out. I'm saying, if you're going to get them out, be damn well sure you're ready for what may happen in retaliation.
As someone else said, this really won't be over until the devs get rid of the recursive macro. And, the path to this end will be fraught with pain and hurt feelings.
