You don't actually have to avoid everything; it's possible to run the same route every time. You can just ignore the Kraken as long as you don't stop moving (except to cast or refresh Prot Spirit). The only spawns to avoid are the Oni, Outcast, and Naga, but you can still run nearly straight from the portal to the bridge by just running through the Kraken's patrol. Given that the same route can be used and the Luxon Assassin spawns are fixed, a bot could probably handle the Halcyon Job easily enough with a 55. The route below is always safe.

It's even easier and faster if you have more Kurzick faction than Luxon: All you have to do is die, and you teleport directly to the shrine by the bridge.

I've used the signpost in Zos Shivros a few times, but I've never botted.

Thanks for the links guys. Surprising that google search works better than the actual pvx search....

3k faction an hour...I'd rather save the power and turn my comp off ^^

Trub · Jan 03, 2010, 11:03 PM // 23:03

Or....
They could be farming Outcast staves.

Ive seen the n/mo's in there with random letter names and no guild tag walking sideways, sign tagging, and going through the portal.
The same ones are seen moments before in the marketplace going to their box, then to merchant, then appearing at zos. even saw a few get stuck under the stairs and just keep walking into the wall.
I'm sure there are a lot of perfectly good reasons why normal people would do this.. but if it looks, walks, and acts like a duck.. its a duck.

Axeman002 · May 08, 2010, 09:11 AM // 09:11

stood in America dis 1 today waiting for a mate...37 different botters all guildless N/Mo sideways to sign then same path up...then u see them return and do it all again.

like last poster said if it looks and acts like a duck its a duck...come on anet sort it out u ban a kid for using a tome in pre searing yet people afk botting with 2 3 accounts is allowed !! (some had same second names just different ast names pretty obvious its same person on alt account)

No, that's not allowed. The bots just don't get banned, yet.

I do.
I run to signposts a lot.
I am not a bot.

D and space gets you to the signpost, faster than going there manually

Elnino · May 09, 2010, 12:42 PM // 12:42

These guys are definitely bots. How can an International District have and endless stream of N/Mo's while the American District (which always has more people except in HA) has less people and no N/Mo's?

Only answer is . . . bots!

BuD · May 09, 2010, 02:03 PM // 14:03

They dont need to avoid anything. If you are Kurzick you can just run to the first group of Kraken just outside Zos Chivos & let them kill you, since you are Kurzick & never have a possibility of Kurzicks owning Zos you will always spawn at the shrine just outside the area the assassins are...its waaayy faster than running there trying to avoid the Oni popups & last Kraken before the sins.

Actually they are always the same; I farmed that a lot with 330 rit.

FALSE. Lots of "normal" players run directly to signs. I do it all the time.

With the 20$ Guild Wars Trilogy, I bet there is an even more influx in bots. Nice -.-.

Swahnee · May 09, 2010, 08:26 PM // 20:26

So the alcyon job quest is still farmable with a 55? Don't the luxon assassins knock you down?

It's just more efficent when I only have one hand available. Kekekeke.

Bring a minipet to negate the kd of Horns of the Ox?

they are not bots, try to talk to them, their English is bad but still good enough.

Infanta · May 10, 2010, 01:39 AM // 01:39

They are likely multiboxing. This is where you control many different characters at once from one client. They probably have scripts running to get them outside efficiently.

Infanta · May 10, 2010, 01:40 AM // 01:40

By the way, is this quest worth farming for a normal person?

Yes. Also, the edit button is your friend.
