Anti Bot Code - Guild Wars Forums

Recently I was told there is anti bot code that effects farmers so I was wondering what it currently is?

...Why? Are you trying to get around it?

I wouldn't question something that's trying to keep the economy stable.

The only other anti-farming code I can think of is the one that makes less items drop when many monsters are killed simultaneously or within a very short time period, but I don't believe that's what you're referring to.

If you farm an area over and over(like trolls or minotuar's or such) and have the blue tip window active(as in not turned off through options) eventualy it says by zoning and killing the same things over and over you drops become to lessen in quality and qauntity. I have only seen it a few times. Just go dew a few missions or quests and it goes away.

What do you mean blue tip window active ? I haven't really touched my game options.

Shayne, I think that is what I'm referring to. I've been using a E/A solo green farmer, and I can't get the green to drop. I'm r8 sunspear and r9 vanguard, and monsters die VERY VERY fast. I could stop using intensity I guess, monsters would die slower... but how slow must they be killed? Now also, you say within a very short time period... well, there are certain places where there are 2 bosses right next to eachother and it is IMPOSSIBLE to not kill one after the other. Does that mean boss#2 will never drop his green?

Pretty sure that was removed with the introduction of Loot Scaling.

i though greens were exempt from scaling

optymind · Jun 18, 2008, 02:11 AM // 02:11

Yeah, the golds/greens etc are all exempt, so does that mean that if lots of enemies are killed quickly, items except from lot scaling don't drop as much?

edited because i can't spell

No optymind. The anti-farm code no longer exists at all. Loot scaling was put into the game to replace the anti-farm code.
