Just been in Granite Citadel and noticed loads of monks in there. All lvl 20s in astetics (spelling) armour. They're running around along the same path, out of what seems to be the exit north but then appearing back in GC. What's going on? They looks like bots, but aren't. Have I missed summat?

You know anything about it? I've got a monk char so if there's something I can get in on, I want in! I've asked in there but nobody will reply.

They are all bots. I dont know what they are farming/doing there but i would stay clear of the place. Do they talk like the good old Altrum Ruins ones?

Watch how they all walk along walls with the exact same path. Doesn't take a genius to realise they are bots. They should get banned, but they don't.

they are mostly bots. some asian farmers mixed in, but most are just bots. you can see them in a few other places (farming warrens in factions, tengu/trolls in prophesies).

anyone remember the 'i love you' monks or whatever they were called? someone find a screen shot of them. ive got an internet cookie for the first one to post one!

Do they have any guild tags? I'm curious.

More than likely its probably bots or Chinese farmers that are going to farm IDSs with some monk "farming" build.

It's not "illegal" to farm. Just to bot.
I guess they found something good out there.

Yeah, they're all bots going about their farming business. Much the same as these ones at Elona Reach Int-District.



I decided to stand inside them. You can't have too many monks around you know!
