Neither my wife or I have ever thought of our selves as bots.

I mean why are THOSE undeads more profitable than say... Ettins or juvenile termites.

The undead take double Holy damage therefore die quicker especially in HM - I also am not sure that ettins can be killed by 55s coz of their healing (not sure on termites).

Most of the bots were cleared out in an anet cull a while ago, I dont think many are left - just people who dont want to farm raptors I think

I do miss the old bot-cities of Prophecies. Elona Reach and the Granite Citadel somehow do not have the same appeal without several dozen mini monkettes in tatoo armor dyed in different colors.

youre right, i mispoke, and i miss those mini monkettes too

And besides that, Marhan's is empty too. Not that it's a farming hub but it used to be where all the elitist GvG and HA assholes hung out and talked shit in their Obsidian armor. Where'd they go?

Yeah, last time I checked, I'm not a bot either, thanks random sweeping generalization.

Bergen's been minorly popular for ages as a farming spot, and the Orr Emblems are useful for collectors at Wintersday, too, if I recall.

BHS and GoK have long been two of my personal favorite farming locations for Monk and Elementalist gold grinding. GoK is an amazingly quick enter, kill, return, sell sort of run, whereas BHS is a great place to go for spending extended periods out of town farming for gold bows or the omfgyaystackable emblems. Even now, with two other continents and a large northern area ripe for the picking, Prophecies still has some of the best farming spots I have ever seen.

This is making me nostalgic. Maybe I'll stop playing RoM for a bit and hit up the good old Springs. >_>

/DISAGREE

Lots of people farm there from my alliance and friends list. Unless you think we're so leet were bot like you're wrong. Just look at local chat when you go in.

Maybe you think people are bots cause you don't know how to farm there.

Ok perhaps my general statement was not the best to use. A majority of monks when an outpost is overpopulated by them will be bots. Naturally there are real monks out there; I just assumed that people would be intelligent enough to realize that the generalized statement was in fact general. Real monks will always farm, but when you notice ridiculous amounts of increased monk activity running in and out of portals you can pretty much guarantee that a majority of them will not be player controlled.

Clearer for you all now?

There's costume brawl for a reason...why would anyone bother farming here Costume Brawl you can farm ToTs too(provided you have a bit of luck) and BALTHAZAR POINTS FOR Z KEYS. OMG.
Stacks of Crap < Stacks of ToTs and Z keys.

Disagree. I got a farm spot that gets me around 10-15 ToT bags ever 2miniutes. Compare that to the 5 you get from a win in costume brawl which takes like 4 miniutes a piece... IF you win (so, assume like 8 miniute per 5 if you win 50%)

Its more like
8 stacks of ToT bags = 1 stack of ToT bags + 5 z-keys

They are all playing Grind Wars

Clone · Oct 29, 2008, 11:17 PM // 23:17

I would also like to go on the record as saying I AM NOT A BOT!

As I've seen innocents get reported for looking too much like a bot, I'm rather annoyed by these blanket statements.

Luminarus · Oct 29, 2008, 11:23 PM // 23:23

Farming tots in pve is far better then farming tots in cb. The only reason to do CB is for fun, and gamer points.

really?! wow so I'm a bot, 4 of my guildies are bots, & about 12 alliance members are bots simply because we're 55ing the undead out there. Wow I never realized that. /sarcasim. maybe some of them are bots jackass, but not all.

Get your facts straight, plenty of "REAL" people farm there as well.

I have been farming there for a long time and I lost count of the times people accused me of being a bot.

Nightow · Oct 30, 2008, 01:48 AM // 01:48

Gonna have to see if the 330 rit works there a bit later.

...So if you see a random ritu running around in a pack of monks, he's not a bot! D:
