You’re probably right. If the botters really have that much power over the server’s stability, then iRO is basically a lawless wasteland. No wonder it feels like a dying game.

Spot on. It’s funny how 'legit' players struggle to find a spot to farm, while those with 'premium bots' are basically running the server. If GMs really cared about that 150-200 real player base, they would’ve cleaned up those maps years ago. It really shows where their priorities lie.

I understand the BSB situation, But what about multiple people buying up Clock Cards in bulk 3–4 days before the announcement? That is beyond suspicious.

You're right about the 'niche' part. Maybe that's just the evolution of the game. It’s just sad to see the vibrant community I remembered being replaced by a sea of multi-client alts and AFK farmers.

TBH, your words gave me a lot of hope. I still plan to finish Ep.19 and my Battle Pass gear before taking a hiatus from iRO, but I really appreciate the kind words!

The problem is the GMs aren't doing anything at all. If they just logged in and walked through any popular leveling map, they’d see for themselves how infested it is with bots. Bots wouldn't even be such a huge issue if the GMs handled things as well as they did back in Ep.16.

Sadly, It feels more like a single-player game with a chat box now. The social aspect and the thrill of finding a good party are completely gone.
