Fallout 76

[maflynn]

This week (and next?) is Fasnacht is running, they seem to throw this in during the summer even though they run this event in February.

Anyways this seems to be quite a divisive event, where the AFKers outnumber the active players, and generally it generates a lot of complaints. I don't care about the rewards, so I largely ignore the event. I did do one yesterday and there were something like 16 AFKers, and for the beginning portion of the event, I was soloing it. Eventually a couple of others joined in.

I'm not sure why Bethesda doesn't change the event, to force participation to get rewards, but its been an issue since they introduced this event. This being a game, if its not fun, I'll stop doing it, so I don't let that thing impact me - I largely stay in a private world.

I wonder how many of the AFKers are bots ?

You think the players in the game are bots?
The game doesn't have bots in that sense, and its players wanting the rewards but not willing to invest in doing the events. This event runs hourly, and so if you are able to keep the character in the game, you'll have 24 sets of rewards (provided each hour the event is successfully completed)
