Lets talk about.. "Bot Shops"

[↓↓ Val]

Can people who plays on Bot Shop servers explain to me why you enjoy it? With how the Outpost and Banking systems work, and considering how most servers have 10X loot rate or more.. what the hell is the point?

Wouldn't y'all rather raid bunkers, and run into PVP there then sit in your base all day AFKing gaining "Coins" to buy stuff over discord and have a robot instantly deliver you gear?

Because most people don't like to have to work for anything anymore. There's no pride or enjoyment earning things through hard work anymore. It's an instant gratification world full of kiddies who don't want to work but still have it all.

If you see “max loot” and/or “bot shop” in server description, don’t bother building a base there. Those are fun servers, made for quick paced play or lazy people.
I avoid them but i understand why they exist.

Any server suggestions?

I've been looking for a server with no bot shop, but a higher then vanilla loot rate, but not too high. No mechs, and they're replaced with zombie hordes.

Where are you located what country btw there is a Group?server recruitment section you can read through for servers and most list the main stats of the server in the name when you search

so many different type of servers to play on, finding one i can play on and be happy isn`t hard at all, bot shop servers and even pay to win anyone remember those were never an issue for me it`s so easy to just avoid them, rather than complain like a b**** as some players have done in the past, can they explain how fewer players make a game better, i always thought more players was a good thing but what do i know.

Where can you find what servers features are without having to join them, and check their discords?

[Siamese]

You don't like them, don't use them. What else is there to talk about?

Click on multiplayer hit refresh and read the names. Most in their names describe what they are.

I also already told you there is a Group/server recruitment forum where you can go and read the different advertised servers.

One of the benefits for sure is the constant PVP that you can get because you don't need to be afraid about your gear.

I understand that seems like an attractive feature at glance when someone just wants to have a casual easy day... But at the same time bot shops take away the spirit of the game. What's the point of going out and struggling, surviving, conquering the wilderness.. if you can just spawn a daily pack full of fruit, a water bottle and so on.

Last I checked this was suppose to be an immersive unforgiving survival game with intense PVP. Not base sitting and gear spawning simulator.

They do yes, but that's why we left options here for players to customize the servers to their liking.

Can we have an option to filter out bot servers when looking for a server in the browser then? Not all servers advertise if they possess this game breaking system which trivializes the spirit and purpose of how the game is meant to be played.

most servers have 10X loot rate or more.. what the hell is the point?

That's the great Scum game theory conundrum though.

You can have the entire server be PvE no base damage, no lockpicking ect... or you can slide it all the other way and have 10X max car/loot ect.. but it takes out the very adrenaline rush of the unknown fear factor of losing it all.

One of the biggest game failures of Scum is not adapting to this. like for example you would need your dead body's dog tag first to raid / destroy your base making offline destruction impossible. Or have protection timers to the flag where for a certain amount of money your base is protected to a max of 20hrs per day.

I've been solo at it for 3 weeks now and I've been lucky, but I know that I can log in and there's a possibility that it's all gone. 3 weeks of work gone.
