With the recent server merges, I guess it would be a bit riskier to bot. I was going to come back to this game and work on some grinding profiles, but when I logged on, I was greeted with a message that I need to change a bunch of my characters names. Then I see there are only 6 servers.
Grinding is pretty effective in this game and the bot can do a good job of it, but you would see a lot of bots running into each other with just 6 servers. I'm seeing a lot of other players with this new profile I made.
I really wanted this game to make it, but they just didn't do a great job. They released the game with a crap UI, no macros and no group finder. I don't know why people are so against group finders... They give friendless players a chance to enjoy the content they pay for. Don't get me started on how the 1.5 second GCD feels like forever. All my friends quit. Now they want me to change my name... screw this, cancelled my sub today.
