Quake and ID - it's worth buying Q4?

Q3A in Australia is dead. One server DM, few local OSP and RA
and usually max 20 players playing in whole Australia.

Why? Bots are rampant and no one can fix it!

ID and PB guys visibly can't protect against cheats on line and 
remaining servers are full of bots.

I'm wondering why ID can't sue bot makers?

They are hurting them like hell!

Just take a look at these morons.

Check latest updates and 'features' of that bay.

The programmer must be a brilliant programmer, in the same time a total 
idiot.

Why waste your time on bot, if you could be great programmer programming 
something great and make some serious $'s? Or even work fo ID!

By action of that guy, ID has lost so many busy servers!

I'm not going to buy Q4 if ID s/ware can't protect their work on line.

No way!

ID has proven to be useless in that dept so I'll rather d/load much 
later the game and would even not think to play it on line.

Too sick of on line games like Half Life, CS, Quake... have enough.

Too aggravating.

How many players would love to play on line, to have a challenge and to 
get an edge with skill, but how long can last any player against bot 
like these ones or another moron, Noskill.

Q4 is definitely not for me. I have enough. ID can't protect it. At 
least they will not make money on me.

I would not pay for  s/ware which is broken in few days and does not 
perform as is designed to.

Just d/load that bot and see what  he can do when you play on line 
against him. Auto dogging against rockets, auto aiming which is almost 
impossible to detect, unless you are VERY experienced player.

Icons over heads so you always see the enemy, even through walls.

D/load it here and play with it a little.

I must be stupid. Most of ya are using it anyway and making that game DEAD.

Also the fact that it's six years old might have something to do with it.

Sorry about your luck.
Q3 is alive and well in america, and I play quite often.
I hate to dissapoint you, but I've NEVER used a bot, and don't know anyone 
who does. I play a LOT and have yet to see anyone that I felt was using one.
I have heard a lot of dipshit no0bs accuse good players of using them, but 
that's another issue entirely.

Its not nice = i know.  Its not fun to play with impossible odds - but I
play in AUS and do find servers and players that are on the level.  Everynow
and then there will be a curiously impossible player - but allow them to
pass and when they leave because no one wants to play against them, you can
continue.

Take a breather dude - you sound unsettled by one of lifes very minor
issues.  Wait untill the REAL problems come your way..  8-)
