Tiny empire bots clogging up popular waterways on the grid https://gyazo.com/567462760493e7b284718f0432c10138
this is a twice weekly occurrence covering most of the grids water sims with numbers from 12 to 17 bots each sim , quite a few cruises run through these regions and it stops legitimate entry for sailors taking part in said cruises . these bots are there on average 30 mins to 2 hours

Tonight our race at St Aubrey was badly influenced by many circles of them placed in many sims on our course and one , i would say very carefully, placed in the same sim of our start line . The start line sim is very delicate because at the start all the racers are close in the same sim.. If they know where they are, I think that they also should know that in that way they are really disturbing others. We had to wait more than 30 minute to let them disappear but also after tyheir disappearing the sim where they stayed before were very laggy for us all

This is pretty much griefing, the map in the pic does no justice. They are infesting the waters all over the mainland, I see them popping all around GaetaV, today they were blocking people trying to sail at Saint Aubrey and all around Corsica, could see them dotting the maps all over. This is beyond irritating and ruins the whole experience for everyone else.

That picture is just that small area I was going through clusters of them from Corsica down to Nautilus. One or two people causing that must disruption is an abuse of resources. I crashed more times on the route than normal and put it down to all the waterways being near avatar capacity. Today has been especially bad they are pushing the limits.

Even for the silly HUD game they should not really be seen as anything but a cheat if a small group of players run hordes of 60 or 80 alts each to get a better ranking on some webserver somewhere. Said hordes of alts seem to get replaced over time as well, hiking up users alt counts widely above the good old recommended limit of five avis we once had.
TL;DR: They are the poster boys for unfair use of resources.

The problem is that they use public waters with 12 avis in a ring and when you have a race or a cruise around not more than 10 sailors or motorboat driver can join the same sim additional, which is unfair for racers and a pain for cruisers who want to enjoy a cruise together...

We needed to delay the start of our MiniTransat race yesterday by 15min, because we were flooded by the “Tiny Empire Rings” and Xenia couldnt enter the startline sim, because that sim was afflicted by such a ring as well and it was full...

The problem is that most waterways are either Homestead or Open Space Regions an that many avatars use up all the region resources prohibiting others to sail or even fly through those regions.

This has become a real problem for cruisers lately, driving people away from sailing.

Yeah, it gets quite annoying! Not to mention it ruins a good sailing trip for many!
