Fishing is cake to bot. Bots flooded the fish market to rock bottom prices. Stoopz and several other streamers were pushing the fish buying on their streams due to the patch notes. It's really dependent on botting/RMT being nerfed. Sure, we'll see a decrease in bots, especially at first, but I suspect that it will still be a major issue.I don't get the fish thing. Is it just fish that increased in price? Why?

Was heavily botted, now bots are getting fucked so ppl expect prices to go up. But technically bots can still use the AH and sell their botted fishes, they just need a way to transfer gold. They'll probably do the gem selling shit though or accessory selling. Get 2k gold from botting fishes, main mule puts a 302 accessory up for 2k gold, bot buys it. Lose 5% on the transaction but still is worth it? So I expect fishes will actually go back down as it's a good consistent way for them to make money without being necessarily too easy to get reported and too obvious about botting(don't need speedhacks to fish so detection for that would fail).I don't get the fish thing.

Right, but no one is talking about fusion mats going up. Just fish. In fact, we had a discussion in game the other day where everyone convinced me it'd be better to do excavating and buy fusion mats than fish myself.
Thanks for the heads up, logging in now!Servers up, 2.3gb update. Restart steam if you dont see it.
I want them to go all in and start adding logos for botting/hack/gold selling apps and sites.Maybe Im just skipping over the logos previously, but I feel like each patch - we get more and more logos tacked on at the beginning of the game. Like the screen before the server select screen looks obnoxious as of this last update.
It's going to be interesting to see if the fish rush just paid the botters out or if AGS/SG found a viable solution(doubtful). But, a few dollar transactions is all it takes to make an account verified? That is still cheaper than having to buy a box for games in the past. Botters would lose thousands in box purchase costs in other games' ban waves. They were still an issue. The fish botters made millions of gold in the purchasing rush. It is likely that they funneled profits to fresh accounts that they are going to verify.
I don't see this being the solution that people are expecting.
Oh wow I didn't expect them to add T3 honing books too, I thought it was just T1/T2 like the last boxes. Get 1 weapon 10% book and 5 armor books from the racing event per week, and 2weapon 10armor from the guardian event shit.
The guardian shit not sure you can farm everything, need enough chars I think. 200 per char per day. Go for the scorpion's tail for today's event, when you break it it drops buff orbs that give stupid buffs so you start fucking up everything else.
I just did it on 2 chars to check and it worked. You get 200 per day per char, to buy out the T3 mats you need 1010 so a single char is enough(1400 per week, don't even have to run the whole week). To buy out T2, you need 590, so you'd need a few double clears to do both T2 and T3. I didn't bother checking T1 cause I don't have a T1 char anymore, but expect around 350 more to buy out that so you'd be looking at close to 2 chars doing it every day. Can farm hardcore on a ton of chars for a few days then not do it for several days though.I thought they said in the notes that the guardian event was once per roster per day?
Well he's the special event monster, he actually freezes the others which makes it easier, and he drops dmg buffs when you break his tail(which auto repairs everytime). Just focus him, break tail when he staggers, then get orbs, some of which gives you like 70% more stagger or whatever, then just keep attacking him and he'll stagger again in like one rotation, break tail again, and now you're basically a fucking monster and kill everything else super quick. I think Nacrasena can't actually die until the other 2 are dead either, he'll just disappear like he's moving areas, but then he'll reappear a bit later.So I just did the guardian raid event....and we killed 1 of the 3....had zero deaths and everyone was on top of their game. Frostblade must have had their health doubled for the event. It seems crazy, everyone in the group was like "why the fuck won't this dude die?"
He was at .7% when we failed so I dunno. I guess I’ll try that next time I run in there. Or if anyone here wants to team with me that would be cool too.Well he's the special event monster, he actually freezes the others which makes it easier, and he drops dmg buffs when you break his tail(which auto repairs everytime).
