Another bot hotspot: Granite Citadel

Apologies if its been done before, but i'd never seen any bots up in Granite before. There weren't a lot so i didn't take too many screenies, but they seemed to run from the armour crafter (probably using him as the merchant, because its easier to program?) to the Tasca's Demise sign, then side step to the right and run out.

One thing I did notice a lot of was groups of characters, usually several Mo/W's at level 2-4, accompanied by a single warrior (runner/supervisor i'd guess). I have no real idea but I'd guess its some sort of powerlevelling staging area for bots?

SOJ capping?

Yup. But we already know this .-.

Hmm, I wonder how a warrior can solo/kill a boss mob there.

Solo? Man, with seven Monks, no one can die.

they are lvl 4's and 2's

Yet he did mention the monks to be very low lvl.

Copperhammer ID1 used to be like that oO

At least a full ring of spawned lvl2 Mo/W's (on the way to SoJ?)

Actually that's pretty smart.
Even if they're only level 2-4 they can still fire off a heal now and then so the botter probably makes them heal him, no other action.

That way they always stay out of aggrorange while still healing him, he's immortal.
I want that too ='(

Yea, maybe they just keep casting Reversal of Fortune and Healing Breeze on the tank. They probably have Vent/TS too >.<

They aren't bots only want SoJ and then go back to Droks and get power leveled.

I remember forge is worst with huge amount of monks standing there afk!

But as well as the low level monks, there were lone Mo/W20's taking the path in the first picture.. I can't imagine much you could do with a bot in Tasca's Demise.

they wouldnt need vent or ts, they'd be right next to each other in the same dark damp basement. its their job.

You did see the big yellow head with the huge smile...right?

We all know Legit monks go there for SoJ - But the Bots have to get it too.

There are single Farmers that are lvl20 and "farm ready" still there, and there are the "getting SoJ" farmer groups - the ones with a few lvl2-3 monks with a warrior (for running to Mineral, and helping kill the Guiles I'd suspect) and 1 lvl20 monks to actually Farm through the non-guile tengu groups when they get there.

At Augury Rock I saw several level 2 Mo/W today.

How do they even get there, I mean just doing the one mission they have to do to get to the desert would surely give them so much XP that they would be higher level.




^ I just went back, that's from Augury Rock International district.

Majoho you need 3000 xp to get to lvl 2 (correct me?)
They stand at the start grp only does mission so only the +1000xp and that gets them there.

i'll check it out, theres money to be made helping cap SOJ

forget this

old news

i want to know how people farming affects other peoples drops.... where anywhere has that been stated by any dev member???

or is this another one of them assumptions people make and then it becomes a mass spread rumor everyone blelieves to be true...

based on how the game is designed and from that viewpoint... GW is completely instanced and your drops affect NO one else other than the people in the same instance as you and for all explorable areas that is a max of 8 players that are in your group....you + 7 more...

as far as these bots running... yea i dont care for bots... but seriousely how are they ruining your game??? they are not affecting you... i dont consider the econemy that greatly impacted since resorces are unlimited unlike other online games without instanced areas where resorces can and are mined out... oooh an uber elite item no longer worth millions how is that hurting the player base... to be honest people concerned about their items becomeing valuless are selfish... there are many players in this game all of which deserve a piece of the pie... but alot of you players believe it is your right to own uber elite items and no one else and only you are allowed to make unreasonable amounts of cash off of other people...

anyhow yea the bots need to go... but the whining is unfounded...

reason for bots needing to be removed are for game performance reasons and the fact they are cheaters and have an illegal unfair advantage next to the legal playing casual player... not because ooh ur items are more common and u no longer are an elite...(elite=self proclamed superiority= loser)
