Is BGA under invasion by bots?

Post by PastorPew »

I've been noticing a weird trend of late, that makes me think someone's starting to use bots to play.

I've just started play a bit of Incan Gold, and regularly, as soon as I open the game for players, multiple players (often with 0 elo or for whom it's the first game) from the same country will join instantly, then quit instantly, then join again instantly, and then play out the game.

I can't help but wonder what's going on!

Anyone else noticed this? Is it just me? Am I going crazy?

The "Accept Match" screens bugs frequently especially on games with a lot of players when the server load is high, and more frequently if you have BGA open on more than one tab. I guess those "bots" are mostly people not seeing the screen or having some other issues. With that said, if that screen worked better It'd probably be a good idea to give people "cooldowns" if they do not accept games before they're able to auto-matchmake again.
