    Playing vs AI is 1000% more fun than PvP

    Yeah. I said it. Because it is.

    PROS:
    - Opponent Class Diversity
    - No being disconnected by ragequits
    - Almost as much XP as PvP
    - Decent matchups when paired with level 1 & 2 bots
    - No P2P cheaters
    - MUCH better matchmaking options (yeah, you win almost all the time, but is that worse than constantly losing as a level 1 to Rep 3 players with 100+ gear scores? No.)
    - Far better connectivity

    CONS:
    - It's AI and most of us bought this f***ing game to PvP
    - WAY too easy most of the time
    - Predictable movements from Bots
    - Fewer players doing it than PvP
    - Slower to level with, but not by much

    Until they get the game's many glaring flaws fixed in a big way, this'll be how I play. PvP is awful. I didn't buy the game to flex my epeen and choose one of the most OP classes to play anyway. I play games for fun. If I want to play as a raider, I can in AI and it's actually fun. If I want to experiment as anything, I can without being wrecked by the 4/4 Orochi team I'm fighing against. Also, the gear scores we're seeing in matchmaking are just... wtf? WHY would you send rank 1s against rep players? This game has a learning curve. Don't be turds and make peopel quit jiust because you can't understand that.

    Try it. You might actually see my point. The AI modes are so much more fun. At least for a while. They may even be fun enough to keep us here until the fixes come...

    I feel you. If you're good enough to be beating level 3 bots, then I can see why you might PvP. I can beat level 2s regularly, but I'm not there yet for the level 3s.

    I would like to see some extra options added for PVP bots tho. They're a bit too easy as it is.

    Get good. I play as a raider in PVP and can hold my own at times. Of course, I've run into players who've crushed me but that's because I made mistakes and they punished them, I completely mistimed my guardbreaks, and the other player is probably overall better than me. You guys are seriously making way too much noise about the gear.

    Skirmish in the Death Match playlist is far, far worse than the gear. Skirmish just sucks.

    Of course bots are boring but at least you can play a new class without being matched against a prestige 2 or 3 with 60+ gear score every game.

    Lv2 bots almost always counter guard breaks, and sidestep and block with absurd consistency compared to the players I've encountered. It's actually less enjoyable dealing with the AI (lower XP and steel payouts aside), despite the sometimes messed up parry timing when going against players.
