What are your thoughts on Skial servers' use of bots to substitute players?
For a long time now, Skial has populated many of their servers with their own custom bots in order to bring the server up to higher player numbers. At first, this would just be filling in the cracks between large numbers of real players, but now it seems that nearly every server has more bots than actual people in them. I was wondering what the general consensus is on the use of these bots and whether people minded them or not.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, these bots are pretty easy to spot. They'll be standing completely still in spawn, but occasionally change where they're looking. If you stare at them long enough during setup, they'll likely look at you then do a stock taunt. And spectating them shows a very on-rails type of aiming in and out of combat.
