Gurona 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2017 After a day of bot hunting here and there this is what I have come across. Mind you this is only 1 level 35 rogue without a mount searching a couple zones. The bot situation is real and it's going to destroy the economy of this server. If you see what you think might be a bot, report it. It's for the good of everyone on the server in the long run. Sure there are going to be people who make fun of me, people who choose to heckle the the time I've spent, and a few of you might appreciate the effort. At the end of the day I fear I can't even put a dent in the problem if I was to do this 24 hours a day heh. Botting should not be encouraged or tolerated by the community at all. Yet some of you are so up in arms about outing people. Really makes me wonder who is the people behind these bots. Anyways, enjoy.

Ironsides 35 Report post Posted February 11, 2017 I've sniped a few botters in their mid 40s/early 50s. Really impressed they made it that long 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSA2422 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2017 nice but without any sort of server side detection on the applications they will just keep popping up. You are talking about a guy/gal running 5+ bot accounts simultaneously while not even being at their PC. I've seen and reported max accounts with custom routes that are in secluded areas where they can only farm 2 mobs every 5 mins ..but it adds up (I ran across them mine node tracking). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurona 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2017 The hope is that as a community there are more of us who seek fair play than there is those who think botting is an acceptable path of character development. If we share sightings and common practices of these botters as a whole we can help mitigate them. Though through my experience it seems the botting community cares more about botting than the non botting community cares about stopping botters. On the flip side to this is people can't stand real money trading here. They hate to see bought/sold characters, gold selling, and staff members making profit from private servers. Yet the people running these bots are doing so on a FOR PROFIT basis. The gold earned and the characters leveled are being sold. Not to mention the bot itself costs players money. It needs a community effort to help make these people un-welcome. The GM's are trying to keep up with it, but if we were to be more vigilant as a whole we could really help to make botting less rewarding. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
