Ultima Online and EQ1 had maybe the best (only) systems to incorporate players into the help system. Ultima Online had 'counselors' which were basically low level in game GMs. Their authoritative powers were limited but they could get to a lot of issues and elevate the ones that needed it to an 'official' game master - players were required to spend 20 hours/week and basically only got free game time for doing it. EQs system was essentially the same - both came with their own application that players used so I don't know how much time/effort would go into writing it up; but it's something since the other stuff isn't working.

I have multiple toons on WoW at max level (an easy task I know, just saying); some levelled through PvP, others through world questing, and later when group finder was introduced, a couple that advanced by setting in town using that feature. Maxxed most tradeskills, etc - in the time it took me to level the characters and their trades, I saw a bot once - ever. My main toon here is a level 40 warrior and I went through a lot of alts and test runs with different class/race/path combos. I saw teams with upwards of 50% bots in battlegrounds several times a day. I saw seveeral bots attacking several gathering resources, so on and so forth... I don't know that I'd call Wow the king of bots with that evidence. I'm sure there are bots in Wow, but guess what? They aren't crippling the game play there like they have here and that's why many are making the exodus back there. It's great that people like Wildstar. I liked Wildstar when I could play it and quit when I couldn't. I'll play WoW until EQ:Next releases and if that sucks, I'll play WoW until the next mmo and then the next one. If W* doesn't get it's shit together, it's very much going to be f2p/microtransaction sooner or later. You think all of the MMOs that have released and went that route wanted to fail? Probably not; but they didn't do enough to succeed and that's what I'm seeing here.

Your post contains ZERO, read ZERO, facts.

Well, you sure found the time to visit the forum and complain that you were banned 'unfairly and without warning'. I guess you should have spent the five minutes glancing over the news posts instead of cleaning the garage.
