I have evidence that a character named Michael Phelps has been farming gold. I also have proof that he is doing this in China. He's been doing it for about a week and clearly intends to keep doing it. Can anything be done to stop him?

It seems some folks have reported seeing him with 3 other characters, farming gold as a team. It is suspected that they're botting, as they all move back and forth in constant, repetitive motions. This team seem to do it faster than any human could manage.

Please Anet, ban Michael Phelps and his gold farming team before it's too late!

Couldn't resist. I thought the attempt was decently humorous. Bronze

*holds up a judging sign that reads the number 10. He then pulls it down, puzzled for a moment and flips it and it reads 01.*

Sorry... a 1 out of a possible 10. But at least you get something for trying. Maybe something about the 14 y/o girls from china who are winning gold in gymnastics would be something good to joke about? That could make for a good scammer joke.

I see what you did there.

We need to report that level 12-14 Chinese group, too. That farming area is for level 16+ only.

Thank you for the laugh, very funny. Perhaps China will ban him after the beating he is giving them.
