World of Warships infected with AFK-ers, Bots, Hackers, Forum Admin Nazis. (Some anti-bot ideas)

Hello,

World of Warships is an interesting game.

Unfortunately it's filled with dumb people and then add some more dumb 
people which don't even notice the obvious bots, afk-er and hackers in this 
game.

Also add some forum admin nazi's and you have some bad game experience.

The experience because worst at night, when most people go to sleep, and the 
afk-ers, bots and hackers seem to come out.

The latest game I just played was so bad, and so obvious it's incredibly 
that two other players asked didn't even notice it tonight.

Basically every game I played had either a bot, an afk-er or even a hacker 
which chould see through islands.

What convinced 100% of CV bot presence is the following fact/last game I 
played:

There were two carriers on my team, one cruiser which also made some weird 
decisions, and an enemy cruiser.

The bot carriers were unable to locate the enemy cruiser, they didn't even 
try.

What these bot carrier did was they sent all their planes to exactly the 
center of the map, and there they stayed idle.

They also never moved.

Also the enemy carrier never moved.

These carrier players are totally obvious bots, no doubt about it.

The only question remains:

Are these external bots ?

Or is the game developer adding these bots to multiplayer itself to pretend 
they are human ?

The last option probably not cause it's way too obvious that these are bots.

I suggest some anti-bot technology if they want to make this game better:

1. Add start of each round have a CAPTHA that players need to type in, to 
prove they are not bots.

2. Also ask a math question, bots hate math =D

I may contain playing this game cause navigating ships and not dieing is 
kinda fun... and can train my navigation skills, but besides from that.. the 
experiene of this game is pretty crappy at the moment.

I leave you with one last screenshot proving the bots carriers, I know it's 
not much prove.. but believe me... those planes stayed there at the center 
for the end of the match:

Also notice how the enemy carriers and friendly carriers never moved, even 
while under attack... been haping all night... this kinda sucks.

Bye,
  Skybuck.

P.S.: I am thinking of deleting this "multiplayer" game... cause it's kind 
of a scam at the moment ! Though I will wait to see if the developers 
implement some anti botting technologie ! ;) :)
