PvP got merged?

So recently, the people in my server started to notice that they have been fighting unknown players that are most likely from other servers. A few reasons include, the appearance of Felicity and Pampurred which none of us currently own. I tried PvPing today and noticed the same thing, I then checked the name of the player I fought after battle and his rating so I can check the leaderboards. So then I checked and didn't find the name I was looking for at the supposedly order of ranking.

Any comments?

These unknown are NPC / Computer oponents as i recognized.
But maybe im wrong...but that what i think of this.

That might be true but there's heck a lot of NPC's then. But yeah, if these are bots, their AI is low because Flight keeps using Kamikaze on my Shriek.

Yep, they're bots, and they have been around for at least several days.

They are bots +1

I'm a little confused. If its bots, which it may very well be as I saw two players(or bots?) with felicity with Sanchez in their name and despite having high PvP ranking, doesn't show up on the leader boards, then why don't I get paired with them in PvP when no ones on? Or do I have to wait a certain amount of time before waiting before a bot is paired up with me?

You can only be against bots, not paired up with them.

The bots aren't really permanent, they exist while you battle them and then disappear. Even if you face another bot with the same lineup, they will have a different name. They just pick a random first name and last name and give it to them. They don't show up on the leader boards because they're not real players, everything is randomized and computerized.

I meant if I queue for a 1v1 and no ones on, I don't get fight a bot.

Do you quick start or create? I don't get paired with bots with quick start but I do with create even in 1:1
