The Truth Behind the TF2 Bot Crisis -adsmember

to all botters, your not funny, no one likes you, your on the same level as terrorist and hackers, get a job

just add laws that sentence them to jail and big money fine. Though I'd rather give them death sentence.

I once had an encounter by a guy named m4gic and omega bot. Just plane saying hey the mastergamer4(I’m themastergamer4

I see many people in the comments section still bashing these cheaters and being rather unsympathetic, which is missing the bigger problem here. These people who cheat and get enjoyment at the expense of others are more likely than not suffering from untreated mental health problems like anxiety and depression and thus resort to this kind of antisocial behavior because they are unable to get any sort of fulfillment otherwise. Many are equating this kind of thing to stealing or burning down a house, but I feel this is the wrong mindset as this is far tamer than that. The way I see it is, at least they are cheating in a game instead of taking out their frustrations and issues in a far more destructive or dangerous manner; that being said, it doesn't make it right, and they really need to be stopped but being angry at them just encourages that behavior. I think the better question is what in their life has driven them to do such things and what can be done to stop it from happening.

I usually stand in place in a game to go to the bathroom or get a glass of water and sometimes eat
( A lot of bots use my steam name Eafykk )

SCP Secret Lab was a game that I did not expect on this list…

Jesus all these guys sounds like losers

Bro that guy was 14 and said "fun to see people on the internet getting angry" fucking loser

i always thought they did it mainly for botting items and crafting them up into more valuable items to sell on the market for profit. Idk sorta like osrs bots

their all just… children…

Yea all cheaters are scum sad fucks. yes cause why would you cheat. it is just sad.

These guys are losers wow hahahaha.

Medic bots are the only bots you should be ok with. And that’s a fact.

it just seems like they don’t realize they are ruining the game for others ):

I garuntee the reason why they cheat is because they have absolutely no success in there life because they’re 32 and still live with there parents and most likely Jack off to child porn

theres a difference between people that cheat and people that host bots
and let me tell you
the people that are hosting (AND SELLING) bots aint in it to have fun
they are in it to make a quick buck

train an IA to identify bot behaivor and just move out every human player to a clean server, That could work, idk, there are already AI trained bots for minecraft, why not use this tech to counter attack bots?

and the medic bot im perfectly ok with tbh.

I have an idea to help with this crisis create a special server where cheating is allowed. so they move their and can freely do whatever they want. hopefully leaving the normal servers alone. or the shadow-ban system make it subtle and they won't make new accounts cause they thing they haven't been banned.

cheating is just another way of playing

killing yourself is another way of making people happy

And also lets just put a im not a robot verification in game and see what happen

Lets be real, each cheater just cant play regulary without getting mad cuz of skill issues so they get hacks to feel better and become the one making the others mad

TF2 Bot Hosters have taught me something.
So i'm gonna let my car drive by itself since it's just another way of driving

Why didn't you show us their faces, emails, address, credit card info, phone number, or username?

That's a joke lads.

Reactions is what these cheaters dick ride on, so pathetic; I also think you are giving the programmers behind the bot crisis too much credit with the word 'power' because they are egotistical.

the reason why they are able to bot is because the source code was leaked by a racist transiphobic homophobic toxic spammer and general pos who goes by the name of Maxx on the internet. he used to be active on blockland forums but now hes dormant. he was kicked out of an old modding group for being a racist transiphobic homophobic toxic spammer and general pos. because of this, he leaked the source code, which allowed the bot creators to create all of this crap for both cs:go and tf2.

Find maxx and eliminate him. you think im joking? im not.

Can someone pls explain to me what a Bot is? And how TF2 is full of “bots@? Wtf is a bot? Im used to thinking of a bot as something I shoot in a private match of cod

The duality of man… one can care about everyone, and the other can tell others to “cry about it”. Ig ill just stick with community servers. As long as some form of normal gameplay is active, the game is still intact.

I always switch servers in tf2 cuz of the omegatronic bots.

I hope all people who use BOTS have their PC BURN!
I can't think of any reason for them to do what they do if they don't WANT TF2 to shut down.
Where is the fun in wining automatically by using this headshots? and if it is just to people rage then you are a terrible person because its almost like (not THAT bad but close enough) killing someone else's pet just to see them mad.

just STOP!

i don’t cheat in multiplayer games simply cause it’s insanely boring. there’s plenty of other ways to annoy the hell out of people without cheating.
