KCBeserks guide on bot leeching
was bored in droks watching the monks going by with so i decded to click a bunch fo them add them to the your party and 1 in about 50 will accept *seems like a big number there are like 3000 of them* the trick is to stand right the exit to talus chute and start cliking there names as they come up. and when 1 accepts just right away go outside b4 they leave party sum times they will say sumthing in korean or chinese with a number after the end or try to do a trade always decline. and they will go on there run. now i think its fair if u bring along 1-2 spells to help them like sheild of judgement or sumthing like that cause u do get half the exp and half the drops ive go about 4 golds and 30 troll tusks in about 30 minutes . so if your bored and got nothing else to do why not make the bots work for you. *see that rhymes* and to everyone whos gonna flame , flame away, but since anet is doing nothing to stop them might as well take advantage of them

and i find u go with helping them they will add u auto later. i like to go a mesmer ss with phsical resitance

and sum tips on getting them is go near the exit face the exit then hold z so the camera goes backwards then just click all the mo/w's running towards the exit and u will catch one on two its like fishing

Genius. You could make a bot that does this. Call it a bot bot!

Seriously, I like the idea.

It'd be funnier to put Vital Blessing on them, and lay down Fertile Season and Symbiosis. Now THAT'S justice.

That would be griefing, not leeching. There's already a thread about that.

I've done this many a time - for me, it's free power-levelling!

Why do they accept invites?

I can't figure this out either. If they are paid by the hour then they're free to accept a party member even if it does limit their gold/item intake.

However, if they are paid by the amount of gold they generate then there's a hugh disincentive to party with someone.

Bots don't accept invites. You are leeching off a real person.

Skarjak · Apr 03, 2006, 09:14 PM // 21:14

Maybe they accept the invites and auto-trade with you because that's how the owner gets the items the bot has acquired?

I went and tried this tonight.

I stood in Droks Inter-1 and spammed invites. One accepted and I went outside. Naturally he had no choice but to follow. He stood around for a bit, said "HAO"(which I understand to be a greeting with my crappy Mandarin). Then he cast Balthz Aura, Mending and Blessed Aura then killed a few Avicara Braves near the cave entrance. One item dropped for me and he stood there for a few minutes before I picked it up and dropped it back for him:

After this he killed the big group of trolls in the cave and I picked up and dropped my drops for him to take.

I got a bit bored and decided to set up a trail of gold coins which he ran back to and picked up one by one.

He died at the troll boss and I killed myself to see what would happen next. After we rezzed he ran to a group of Avicara mesmers and necros, died and left. Hope Arenanet doesn't have a clause in the EULA prohibiting fraternising with illegal farmers.

lol, thats a funny idea, and just watch this topic get filled with people trying to defend botters by using that griefing crap

TheMosesPHD · Apr 03, 2006, 09:31 PM // 21:31

Uh...I think in order to be forum legal you'll need to white out one last copy of the monk's name. You had her selected so the name is displayed there at the top of your screenshot. :O

EDIT: Oh and your last screenshot shows the name clearly under the chat window as well.

A quicker way is to check your radar for the stream of blue dots. Make sure you're standing away from other 'fishermen'(what I am calling people who try to leech off bots/farmers). Then click Tab and click the add button with your mouse. Some of them just stand there after accepting so you may have to drag them outside. If you keep your distance from other fellow 'fishermen' you run a lower risk of accidentally adding them.

Enjoy your fishing trip.

Since you were the 2nd one to point that out I'll tell you how you check fps.

type -perf after the quote marks in your GW shortcut ie:

"c:/Program Files/Guild Wars/gw.exe" -perf

Enjoy.

I won't lie and say I haven't tried this a few times, because I have ... and from my experience: 80% of the random Mo/W's you get accepted with are actual people. Sweatshops? Perhaps, but actual flesh-and-blood people nonetheless.

And, just because I rather enjoy giving people a good scare, i'm half tempted to make a monk with a seemingly random asian name, and pretend to be a bot, accept someone doing this, only to turn around and say "BOO!" when they least expect it

prodigy ming · Apr 03, 2006, 11:53 PM // 23:53

there is a dozen post on this already... nothing new.

Not another bot thread....
