Just watch it for a few minutes. asian farm bots taking over international districts.

You are joking right? This is the area I've been farming recently for a little extra gold for the factions release, if they do something to take that away from me... Death to all bots!!!
Oh well, if they put devourers there I can just move on to one of the other spots in the desert. Hydra aren't that bad after all, once you learn to count the meteors...

Hello dear GW-guru-community,
I searched for a similar thread, but didn't found one.
In the international districts of Elonas Reach are a lot of Mo/W, who spawn on two different places and run on a weird way (they all run against the wall) to the merchant. After that they disappear and a few minutes later the same Monks respawn at Elonas Reach and run exactly the same way to the merchant.
I couldn't believe it until i saw it with my own eyes. See for yourself, if you should disbelieve.

p.s.: I am sorry for my English, it's not the best

What the f... are you talking about? I dont see ANY problem bots at Elona atm..

Gonzo · Apr 22, 2006, 12:15 PM // 12:15

It's a lowprofit small farming area that goes to crap after the third zone. Highly doubt bots will be unleashed there.

Big_Iron · Apr 22, 2006, 12:15 PM // 12:15

I've been farming there with my 55 Necro and my Warrior a lot as well, but haven't seen bots. But I haven't been to the Int district either. I'll go check it out. I really hope it's not nerfed. You can't get rich there, but the farming is still decent.

Lady Lozza · Apr 22, 2006, 12:27 PM // 12:27

Does anyone know why the farmers insist on doing what they do in the ID dist? I mean if you are farming why don't you just do it in your home dist?

Crossover with other districts. "25k, ok?"

Evilsod · Apr 22, 2006, 12:46 PM // 12:46

Just went for a quick look and saw much the same as that picture. A ton of Mo/W on the same spot.

Why send botters there? I used it to power level myself on my low level monk. The 'rewards' i got from massacring Minotaurs got me jack, could barely use it to cover the cost of the merchants scrolls.

Wildi · Apr 22, 2006, 12:48 PM // 12:48

the Mo/K guys are bots they are running against the wall before they are able to talk to the npc, okay if you don't see this you must be 12 years old or something

Maybe Anet cut them a deal, and now that is the only district they can farm in. Or maybe it causes less of a stir that way, I don't know.

I saw a guy in Lion's Arch one day (American dist), he had 3 identicle male monks with him that were all standing in a row together. They looked like they had pre-searing armor on still, and a fishy guild tag that I've seen before on some of the more suspicious farmers in droks. When he decided to zone out of LA, before I could get a SS of it, he jumped up in the air and they all disappeared with him. Not really sure why he jumped before zoning, maybe just switching districts, but it was kind of strange, and late in the evening. He seemed to be checking out the faction characters there, but it was the strangest thing I've seen recently.

Lady Lozza · Apr 22, 2006, 01:02 PM // 13:02

But no one would seriously buy anything in Elona ID one. Why don't they just farm in their home dist, then jump to Droks ID for selling???
Ok, I don't know anything about how bot programs work, but surely this would make sense... or maybe not, like I said I know zero about bot programs, save that they are possible.

I run Elona's (VOB - shamless plug) all of the time and can stay that this goes beyond just the international districts. Actually, it's kind of annoying because it's harder to find people that are actually in the districts to give runs, because they are more spead out over multipule districts, due to the farmers crowding them out.

Matsumi · Apr 22, 2006, 01:13 PM // 13:13

Wow, I guess I really had to go see for myself... I guess there really are bots. Kind of strange how they run in a square and bump into the walls until they are near the merchant.

Lady Lozza · Apr 22, 2006, 01:27 PM // 13:27

Yeah I just saw it too. FYI there are some in EU as well, just not as many.

I farm Elona regularly. Meh...oh well...i got other places to farm.

NERF IT!

jackie · Apr 22, 2006, 01:37 PM // 13:37

They are spreading like a disease

Canadian Bacon · Apr 22, 2006, 02:30 PM // 14:30

I think bot farming has started the evolution from annoyance to cancerous lump on the underbelly of society. It seems you can find them everywhere, and Anet really has to get moving on fixing this.

Gli · Apr 22, 2006, 03:19 PM // 15:19

Hahaha they look like demented ants, all moving in the same weird pattern.
