My guess would be they are killing Stonereap and Zarnas, thats what I farm with my N/Mo. Im just curious what their build is...

Thought they banned trial accounts from trading a while ago...?

Are there bosses just outside there?
Maybe they are farming tomes in hardmode.
I don't know.
And why is that Mo/Me is still so powerful for farming?
Honestly I think Monks are the most broken class in this game.
And Inspiration should have most of it's skills in the mesmer primary.
Are there people skill testing this game still? lol

Yeah. The are gonna get a run and everything and an elite monk tome and the right skills within 10 hours

I don't think that is the way it works

Yeah its surely too efficient to have to waste a load of time on trial keys. It would take a good few hours to get to farming level (especially for bots such as the afore mentioned ones for the ruins which is a decent way into factions). Doubt they are boss farming (after all Stonereap has enchant removal which he'll use if close), way too risky. Most likely the same one/two mobs over and over as thats reliable enough to be left running without having to check-up on (you can tell some users don't check that regularly due to the time it often takes when something like a granite bot screws up and is just going in circles constantly).

Does that make those builds that can solo the smites in uw broken? What about any other farm combination such as E/D earth tanks? Considering its probably only the first few mobs any profession could be botted as its just tailoring the build for the mobs at an appropriate point. Its probably just monks as the 55 build has been around so long, only requires one campaign and is likely easy to script..

There is also a few at The Temple of Balthazar when I go there.

Umm your guess is wrong! They don't farm bosses, bots just farm general drops, they choose locations because of types of mobs and easy farming, then they farm crap over and over and over! That white armour merching for 50g may not be worth much but getting 500 adds up 25k

I saw a bot in Dragon's Throat today, I guess he was just on his way to altrumm ruins though.

Do bots need to buy another account to have so many chars or what? I don't understand the concept of the bots -_-

As Gaile said, some bots use trial keys and hacked accounts.

And most people know that's partly a lie, trial keys can't trade, trial keys only last 10hrs. Its a scape goat for Anet; No we don't make money off botters buying new accounts they use trial keys. How can they when they can't trade? defeats the purpose of being used by a gold seller.

Sadly the hacked is true, but its not 100% of the numbers, they still buy the good olde fashion way, hell one gaming mag even quotes chinese gold farmers buy in bulk from some suppliers.

Don't d/l the latest 3rd party program to get an extra edge and never go to a site being spammed ingame.

I dont know what there is to farm but most recently I was in Rihlohn Refuge(spelling is off I think) but there seemed to be alot of N/As, with bot names, going into Flood Plain. and I did notice they all had bot like actions hint hint Anet. But I am really wonderiong what are they farming out there?

HawkofStorms · Jul 13, 2007, 02:35 AM // 02:35

Attrium Ruins has wardens to farm. Not AT ALL new. I've been farming there for at least 9 months (there are mobs with only traper rangers, hammer warriors and restoration rits, no mesmer wardens at all). They used to be great (pre loot scaling) for materials like hides, fur, cloth, and leather.

Your thinking like a player, all there farming is a mob that doesn't have Mesmers (mostlikely) and are easy to kill with a simple build.

As for the drops, it aint greens, golds, rune or purples. It's just drops. Merch fodder, at 50g each adds up when your farming 24/7 30days straight.

AceeBlueEagle · Jul 13, 2007, 05:07 AM // 05:07

Yeppers. They farm the wardens and repeat/rinse. I watched a lot of them zone in and then appear over in Marketplace to sell to a non-faction controlled merch.

AceeBlueEagle · Jul 13, 2007, 01:45 PM // 13:45

I noticed in Nightfall that they are using Shadow Form Eles/Necs running bots now as well.

With names like an epileptic seizure on the keyboard, they are kinda not that hard to miss.

I soooo wish I had admin rights in Gwars sometimes...
