solved, thanks for deleting topic

Went to Booty Bay yesterday and today again and saw PATRICIALOL as well as another botter called PARISIENNE (see here for first post mentioning the first character: https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/47298-auction-bots/). PATRICIALOL is "hiding" either "under" the Neutral AH or "inside" the boxes around the AH to become un-targettable or un-attackable and continues to upset multiple people with his AUX auto-buys. First picture in this link unfortunately got taken too late and only shows my pet killing PATRICIALOL who was hiding "under" the AH dock and therefore could not be attacked with my weapon. Second picture shows PATRICIALOL hiding "inside" the boxes behind the AH and is completely immune to attacks!! Thirs picture shows PARISIENNE dead which I managed to kill before he could hide. http://imgur.com/a/W31XO The in-game reporting of this is totally inefficient, by the time the GM have looked into it (maybe they are not even aware of all of this), they have had multiple days or a week of auto-buy bonanza. There needs to be a way of getting rid of those cheaters!

I am sure some people are more savvy on the tech-side and you seem to have gotten a response from Ourk already It has already been reported here: https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/47298-auction-bots/ The character AIMEDSHOT, a level 1 horde rogue was "hiding" around the entrance of the AH building in Everlook. You could see and target him from the outside (his nameplate would not stay still if you didnt move but go up and down as if the character jumped all the time) but not from the inside and as alliance you could target him but not attack him even with AoE damage. This character has since been either deleted or banned by you but the user of that account can definitely tell you more :)

Hi guys Came across the software XnShell to easily convert the .tga screenshot files in your wow-screenshot subfolder to other formats such as jpg/gif/bmp. The software is free and also free of ads / malware. Once installed it ads itself to the right-click menu so when right-clicking your .tga files you can easily convert to other formats with a click of a button before uploading to imgur or similar http://www.xnview.com/en/xnshell/#downloads

Today I encountered a leveling bot in Solliden Farmstead (Tirisfal Glades). Three toons, named similarly, making circles around the farm and grinding mobs. Over and over again. Names of the toons are KATHEMIAXS, MARTRUDESX and LUCRONXW. Also reported in-game. http://imgur.com/a/R24Aa Many other players also seemed very surprised at that group and I am writing here to raise awareness. When you see these things, make a screenshot, upload it on Imgur and provide the link to the Gamemasters for reference. Edit: also want to report DZIWAK pathing up and down the hill at Cold Hearth Manor (Tirisfal Glades) over and over again to grind mobs. Sick, so many cheaters around. Cannot report in-game as my other ticket is not yet resolved so doing it here. http://imgur.com/a/4DwUL

If it was "instant", then what very likely happened is that somebody with an addon's auto-buy feature enabled (likely AUX addon) was scanning the neutral auction house and "sniped" your cheap item instantly. This automation is not allowed @Elysium: https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/46497-rules-regarding-auxs-autobuy-feature/ The fact you werent able to see HXS close to the AH at the time you put the item up is that he is an alliance lvl60 rogue who stealthes while scanning the AH. It is not as Patchi suggests that he is at a different neutral AH. The fact that afterwards (once you knew who bought your auction) you could not target HXS was likely the result of him moving away from the AH right after sniping something of value (what item did you want to trade?). He obviously knows that you would want to find him after he snipes something from you. Also, some of the AH snipers that stand there for long hours scanning the AH in the hope of sniping something abuse the objects around the AH and some texture bugs to basically hide completely in the environment. See here, some of those have already been banned, some others are still active: https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/47298-auction-bots/ I recommend you report the player because even if you dont get your item back, others will report that individual and over time the Elysium staff will see a pattern and gather more evidence to go through with banning players and their accounts. Report him in-game like this: --- Help Button (?) >> Stuck >> Still not working. Page a GM button. Describe your issue --- Good luck next time

I can confirm that. Aimedshot (horde) abusing a texture bug in Winterspring is especially nasty as you cannot see him whatsover. The others just hide behind boxes and stand in front of the auctioneer Some other people abusing the system: Patricialol (alliance) -- Forrani (horde) -- HXS (alliance) They stand at the Goblin AH and normal AH, logged in basically 24/7 abusing the auto-buy function of AUX (to snipe on neutral AH and to just plainly automate the process of buying / sniping on normal faction AH. Neither is allowed)

I would normally refrain from calling out people on the forums but over the last few days I had a particularly unpleasant experience with a multiboxer that I have to spend a few minutes writing this down. The background: While leveling one can come across many people that multibox, which on Elysium is not allowed. The most blatant form involves a level 60 simply having his lowbie character on "follow" (or the other way around) while questing / grinding in front of the eyes of the rest of the server population. Currently, such players are reported through the in-game ticketing system which means that one cannot provide recordings or screenshots of the actual culprit, and therefore I do not know how serious these reportings are actually taken and followed up on. Now to my situation: Two days ago I came across the alliance player GASDAS (60 Mage) who is boosting his own toon NIANGXIPI (level 40 Hunter). The places this usually happens are the grinding spots such as Swamp of Sorrows (murloc beach) or Dustwallow Marsh (murloc islands) where the mage rounds up the mobs and AoE kills them close to the boosted toon for XP. I logged onto an alliance toon of mine to whisper him that multiboxing was not allowed at all and unfair to the other players but we couldnt understand eachother as he is from Asia. In an attempt to interfere with this player's multiboxing I attacked his level 40 Hunter (which FD'd after a short while and then didn't move any further during the fight, ie. he alt-tabs) while his Mage proceeded to kill me after realising I was attacking his lowbie. I then repeatedly rezzed in the same place out of protest and got killed over and over again until I logged out (he logged out of the lowbie soon to focus entirely on camping me). Today, I came across this pair again and did exactly the same as above. Outcome: I repeatedly rezzed and got killed (about 10 times at this point) and have now basically logged out to write this post. In principle I do not have a problem with corpse running 10 times or being ganked, but if this comes from a player who blatantly multiboxes in front of others and then proceeds to harrass the people that call him out is not acceptable in my view. I think it would be good if there was a way to share with the GMs/Admins any recordings / screenshots of players engaged in multiboxing to substantiate the verbal-only claims that one makes through the in-game ticketing system. Rather than posting this publicly (I agree that player flaming in general should not be allowed on the forums), this could be done via an anonymous thread. These anonymous threads exist for other purposes on this forum already, i.e. posts that only admins and the poster can see but would allow for sharing of media. PS: Before you ask, I have issued an in-game ticket two days ago which is going to be processed at the right time I am sure
