Curse

hey while ago I went to Thirsty River just to visit the collector... Its 6am, european dist 1, so its completely empty. Then suddenly, a party of 5 shows up: 1 Warrior and 4 Monks, all the monk were in Starter Armor and didnt move an inch! The warrior invited me and entered the mission, we killed a few giants but then I quit cuz the monks were just standing still at the start.

Im guessing I just met a bot maker? running them all the way to droks...
Should this be reported?

something you dont see everyday huh? heres a screen:

Edit: sry for first pic, heres a new one, no names:

LOL nice pic.. no idea about what's behind it.. but.. droks run doesn't include the desert, you only really need that to get ascended.

TurinPT · Mar 18, 2006, 06:34 AM // 06:34

Just read that bots in tombs thread, you need to ascend to get to tombs..

Jormund · Mar 18, 2006, 06:41 AM // 06:41

Actually, yeah it could be someone getting 4 more monks to farm those poor trolls. I'm guessing the desert missions are being done so they can ascend for a quick 50k exp and make putting them up to level 20 a lot less painful, at which point they will become 55 monks.

Or I could be entirely wrong and just coming up with conspiracy theories for no reason

creepy o.o

coldplay · Mar 18, 2006, 06:50 AM // 06:50

unfortunately, you met a bot maker or a sweatshop manager or tech guy. I can tell by their meaningless names.

1. They all have strikingly similar names.
2. They all have names that don't make sense.
3. They are named [something] one, [something] two, [something] three, [something] four. That doesn't strike you as odd?
4. They all have strikingly similar (exact!) character features (hair, height, skin colour).

They either all belong to the runner (small operation) or to someone higher up on the Chinese-sweatshop-farmer food chain (big operation, runner is doing his job in creating more farmbots).

you remembered to report em right ? :P

ghostlyranger · Mar 18, 2006, 02:52 PM // 14:52

lol, there must be some big business behind this

Silent Kitty · Mar 18, 2006, 03:50 PM // 15:50

On my school they have multiple internet connections. One could easily create multiple accounts and run all the characters through the game. It is expensive and bothersome, but some people do it that way.

When will Anet punish the guilty?What they banned 100 accounts 4 months ago, big freaking deal.They have a problem thats needs fixing ASAP and not by nerfing/changing enemy spawns.Get rid of these cheaters please!

Linda Heartilly · Mar 18, 2006, 04:01 PM // 16:01

That sucks but I doubt Anet will do anything if this is reported.

Cottage Pie · Mar 18, 2006, 04:08 PM // 16:08

Wow, amazing picture!

I once managed to get some farmbots to dance (?!!) they seemed really bored, and one of the other farmbots was saying 'go go!' and then they all stopped dancing and went to farm talus chute trolls.

I (and a friend) even went on a farmbot trip once with one, I was healing them and they went '^_^'; I too was really bored.

RuPee · Mar 18, 2006, 04:24 PM // 16:24

i hate farmbots!!!! these effin farmbots make anet nerf farming spots and ruin the average honest farmer.
i forgot which thread said this but if u wanna have some fun try to get into a group with a farmbot (find them usually at droks intl. d 1), then when they start putting up their enchantments put on vital blessing on them (While you maintain this Enchantment, target ally has +40...168 maximum Health.) it screws up there 55hp and they die.

but i gotta admit farmbots saved me a lot of gold cause they powerlevel u for free.

Lets all wait for Gaile to post some imaginary bans and action taken on reports, eh?
