Yeah, for sure. Hardly anyone doesn't use it yet, but those few are gonna give in soon. I'm not judging anyone who uses it – that's not the point. The point is that people do use it. I use it, you use it, we all use it. These days, it's just NORMAL. And it's gonna keep getting more and more normal. But like I said, you still gotta know what you're actually doing.

Then that's the problem. Server owners are as bad as they used to be in 2005, 2010 and so on.    This scene has technically mature developers, always money-hungry server owners, but what both these groups lack, is some creativity ... I would never play in a server that needs 7 layers of anti-bot. If it needs 7 layers of anti-bot, it means its a bot friendly server and not something worth playing. 

Lineage just has a giga boring quest line / lore and since server owners are not reinventing the wheel, players are forced to F1 F2 spam by server design.

Players say: We don't have time, please add auto-farm to the server, after all, farming in L2 is the most repetitive and boring thing, it gives no enjoyment.    Then players say: OMG your server is full of auto-farmers with adrenaline. Use anti-cheat guards.    Excluding the hilarious fact that an auto-farm player is essentiall botting without botting software ...   Noone stops to ask the simple question: If nobody likes farming to that extend that they go as far as building complex bots and ask for server-side bot programs and then for no apparent reason have to build anti-bot guards ... MAYBE the problem is that "farming" is an outdated feature that has to be removed from your servers ?   What you people are building here is software that protects a game feature, nobody likes and nobody wants to use.   Has the mental capacity of server owners and developers fallen so many IQ points the last decade ? One comes back to see the same server setups of a decade ago, with zero innovation, zero creativity and a huge amount of time and resources protecting a game feature nobody wants to even use ... The other dissappointing thing one sees here, is that a lot of GREAT developers who now work full time jobs in corporate, come back here, to bash the work of others because they find their current job tasks not as fullfilling as when they would develope game related code for Lineage 2...   Talking about life choices eh ? 😛
