Theory(from a conspiracy theorist) behind scripters and cheaters
Hello,

I am writing this review/complaint here since I couldn't find any better place to post my thoughts.
After a long time and a few money that I invested in this game, along with my semi-hardcore to hardcore playstyle I believe I have a general point of view of this game.

Quick review:
The game is pretty good, but...
After playing, as mentioned above, for a long time (almost 1200hours) I came to realise that even as a pay to win game, you can eventually(maybe almost at the end of each patch/season) reach the same level as the next person that paid hundreds or even thousands of euros/dollars to reach the end game builds faster. Ofcourse it needs many hours of gameplay as most mmos(especially the Korean ones) do. Unfortunately no mmo(or none that I know of) has found the best way to keep players in the game apart from grinding for upgrades. Yes the game seems like a job, if you like to keep up(especially though the dailies, dungeons and open dungeons) you need to do them every day. Thankfully the system is not that punishing, since you can take a break and do all those every maybe 3-4 or even 6 days.

The game lacks a lot in pvp, but it is still kinda fun.
Unfortunately it is not a lone wolf game. Most mmos(as they should be) are community and guild oriented. In order to participate in major events, you need to be in a good guild or alliance so that you can have presence, otherwise you are kinda gatekeeped(especially on conflict events).
Targeting in this game is one of the worst I have ever seen. The targets that you can acquire by tabbing, are in a circle around your character meaning that if someone is behind you and closer to you it will be targeted 1st instead of the person in front of you(that you most likely want to target).
New weapon(spear) kinda destroyed major open scale pvp since it has way more pros~80% in comparison of cons~20%), so everybody that was undermined in pvp as a class swapped to it in order to be more effective and have more fun. It definitely needs rework, but there are still counters to it(like melee evasion). As of many aspects in crowd control that needs diminishing returns(lets say stuns from Greatsword/dagger, tornadoes etc) or even the templar class that is almost unkillable. Most people that play the game know what I mean.

The last thing that came up lately and made me wonder if I should quit the game or put my trust on the Devs is the scripters/cheaters. And this is the reason I am posting this wall of text. Yesterday in our newly joined server(Lightbringer), one of the most populated early access Europe servers and one of the most balanced in pvp, a new alliance came in. Not gonna say the name of the guilds, but whoever encountered them(from different servers) know what I am saying.
This new alliance has already swapped 3 different servers and completely destroyed them. Not because they are good players or have the numbers, but because ALL of them are scripting with UNDENIABLE PROOF(both videos and pictures). The 1st thing most people did when they came to our server was posting Aridus staff(most players know the exploit on this item) on the main/world chat, like they were saying we came with our exploit to destroy this server too and none can stop us. All the major guilds on our server have people that came up from smaller servers and many have faced them and said the same thing in the world chat. That apart from the exploits that they do with items in game(which I kinda feel bad, but it is the game devs that should fix soon and not people avoid using it) they use dodge scripts. Something that IS RECORDED happened to one of our guildies.

He is playing dagger/wand. He stealthed, used all his extra buffs to increase the chance of landing a skill(aoe sleep) and in a huge fight/crowd that is ALMOST impossible to see, tried to sleep one of the tanks of that alliance. On the video that tank was in morph(meaning he had lower cc defensives) and in a huge pile of people fighting, as from a miracle he managed to INSTA-perfect block out of morph the sleep of the STEALTHED guildie. Something that I also checked again and again on the video was that one of the opponents guildie, that was sitting literally 1 meter away, also blocked why he was already casting a skill in order to avoid the AOE sleep(FROM STEALTH). If this is not scripting then some players might be androids. Things like that make you think!

Now for the conclusion. Most people are changing servers from the 1st day in order to avoid them and keep their game play and mind clean. My question is what the devs are doing for that. Even after a huge amount of reports with videos etc, they still roam from server to server and f0ck them up, by either making people to quit or change servers due to NO RESPONSE from the THRONE AND LIBERTY team. My conspiracy theory is that:

Do the devs don't give a flying ♥♥♥ for this situation or are they even behind this in order to get MORE AND MORE money from server transfers. Either of the above reasons are very fishy and makes you wonder...

Probably I am wrong but the devs have to prove that to the community, as many other games did, with mass bans on reports like that.

P.S.: This is my 1st post/review of a game, so I apologise for the wall of text. But to be honest this is a game that I enjoy playing and would love to continue playing it, but situations like that make it more and more difficult every day.

Thank you for your time and hope the game devs will react to situations like that soon. Otherwise how will they expect people to trust their next big game. Good luck to all and stay away from Lightbringer(atleast for the next month until this alliance change servers again or get banned....).

To the players that use scripts and cheats in games, my prayers(even as an atheist) are with you. I feel sad for your under developed brains and all that you must have gone through in your life to need cheats in mmos.

Cheers!
