Thread: BuffBots, are they really the problem?
This from an unrepentantslanderer confused about the meanings of "possessive", "implicit implications (.......)" and "hypocrisy". But as you started this argument with your snide mention of "my BuffBots", I'll glady continue it to whatever absurd conclusion.

You're using it as a crutch, Krupskaya. That's all. You have no real argument.
The fight against buffbot's has long been alienating ATK entertainers from their prospective customers (like krups who always looks for an ATK ). And I for simply stating they are more efficient than ATK entertainers.
It would not surprise me, if discussions like this continue, thateven more customers will choose buffbots over ATK just to spite the ATK entertainers for their view of bot removalbecause itwill make getting mind buffs near impossible or too time consuming to bother.
Well, the Developers have spoken and Recursive Macroes are being removed. I'm assuming that concludes things. And I'm sure the controversy helped. 
Like that will stop buffbots

So now they have to push a key every 15minutes...

Well, but the point is, they have to actually be at the keyboard to do it...there's no running them all day at work or school or while you sleep. A very positive step in the right direction.
And, if there were any doubts among a certain poster in this thread that the devs didn't believe that afk was bad and aren't trying to figure out how to stop it, this certainly puts that to rest, and greatly ups my belief that the devs are, in fact, very competent. Competency involves learning from one's mistakes.

Meaning they won't be so very AFK, Mil
Very true, which I appreciate 
However I fear this fix is not going to turn out the way most are wanting.
And I doubt anyone will agree this massive thread had anything to do with it lol

They will still be able to run them all day long. The use of third party programs will be so mainstream, banning all the accounts would mean a severe loss to $$ a month for SOE. It will help for a few weeks, until they figure out a way to bypass it.
Quick fixes to a symptom of the bigger problem will never meet the entire need of a community.

yup i think that too
probably in first weeks there will be some troubles to find buffing entertainers, but i'm sure that entertainer population will begin to regenerate and more buffing entertainers will be available...
now i think we have to think someting about buff mechanic, to improve it and make it more user friendly... but that's another 3d
