Anyone knows what's going on with the "mini" bots in Yaks? I jumped into international districts and I found a bunch of "sleepy" level 2 M/Me, all with the default face, all with a bot name (if you see what I mean), and most of them in a team of 2 (with a henchie in the team). Are they new recruits?

On their way getting run through the game to Droknars, I'd assume.

Maybe they've learned how to change profession, and since everybody is looking for Mo/Wa, this is the next easiest way to try and fool the game mods.

Well since they are level 2 they must need 2 people instead of one to do any good. A major crackdown on bots is needed.

Yeah, they got a run to drok. I saw some with a warrior in a party in international district. Anet should try to check there points where they pass. I know we can find them in Deldrimor warcamps too.

Mo/w isn't needed anymore. After Spirit bond was added you can farm without being 55.

Looks like a good running market in yaks

"Bot names" would be if you see a bunch of characters near eachother named something like "Baka One", Baka Two", "Baka Three", or seemingly randomly typed names like "Sfda Mfds", "Wen Pjo", "Ooia Sdg", and so on. Basically names where you can tell or assume they were created either quickly without care or created with similar names for organization purposes.

Another odd place I've seen bots in recently: Beetletun. It's especially noticeable in international. Mo/W spawn, run over to the weaponsmith just in front of them, stand there for a while, then zone out again. I guess that they're selling items, since the weaponsmith is very easily accessible from the spawn point there. No clue where they're actually farming, though.

They're not leaving through the portal though. So they could be farming anywhere.

Maybe yet another attempt to not be spotted farming in Droknars. In Droknars whenever I used to 55 em I'd always spawn right next to the weaponsmith there and dump my goods, then run out. Mayhaps zoning to Beetletun to sell first then going back to Droks or where ever they're farming helps them bypass the ebay farmer alerts in the game. I guess something about going to more than one town helps keep the game from noticing them.

Those in Granite are most likely on their way to cap SoJ.

That make sense why we can see them in Deldrimor Warcamp thought

And yes, I saw 2 same look monks in Beetletun.

Found some in Augury Rock, but they go in Elona Reach. So, we can find them in Sanctum Cay too for those who wish to run to the Desert. A good place to get them too. But still, Drok international 1 in really invaded by farming bots near the gate of Talus Chute

I've seen them too and those I saw were zoning at northern exit of Granite Citalel, alone without henchmen. Probably farming Stone Summit groups just outside.

beetletun is probably because of the undead hordes quest farm

The horde hardly drops anything at all - drops from the horde were pretty much removed ages ago after a previous botting incident.
