Mo/Me's rushing out to Arborstone?
TechnoSword
Today I saw tons of Mo/Me's running out solo to arborstone? Bots probably some, but what is the build that they are using?
Swift Thief
Normal 55 build...
TechnoSword
and that would be?

There are Mo/Me bots?
I thought most bots were confined to Tyria, and that they used an old Mo/W build.
Arborstone is a little far in too, I doubt they are bots.

I've seen dozens at a time while doing the Kurzick blessing farm and at least some are definitey bots. 99% are Mo/Me, the occasional Mo/D. There's the typical bot behaviour of run to a post, run to another landmark, then another, then out the door, but there's also lots running straight out. Either they're a better type of bot or they're chinese gold farmers.

I farm with my monk in arborstone outside altrumm every once in a while. However i do think most of them are bots but ya never know they maybe actual players

It ain't too hard to tell the real from the fake.
Government Flu
The most common way to tell a real player from a bot is to notice their armor. Is it very basic (like regular tattoo pattern or shing jea armor?) and is their name a string of nonsense letters? Is there a large group of them at the same time?
Not all three of these apply at once, but at least one of them usually will determine.

If they're Mo/N then they're probably farming Craw Stonereap
TechnoSword
no there all Mo/Me and they all have tatto armor on (first thought was, wow huge wave of naked monks?) but they all arent in any guild and they all have weird names which i wont list, non make any sense at all. and i kept asking them questions and such like what are they farming or what is your build? but they wouldnt respond, just spawn run to arborstone vanish, eventually spawn back and continue on

Hi all yup they are mostly bots and its very easy to tell which is why i get angry at anet whom nerf all the skills to stop bots but dont do the simple thing and jus tban the actual bots!
All bots are basically a macro which runs a series of commands again and again, bots must have a datum (start point) which is why you will see every bot run upto the sign outside the farm area first to callibrate their run, from this fixed point they then simply run the recorded set of actions, ie cast prot etc, cast soj, kill pick up nearest, pick up nearest, pick up nearest, back in merch, merch, merch, back to sign post and off again. If you look you often see one spinning in circles where the program cant find the start point.

A lot of them have stupid names...not like Fardorth of Shiranova...but names like Fasltij D or Fqwjera Fewf...

Yeah... They bots farming wardens on HM using A Echo and SOJ...

Not very surprising to see bots there. It's a pretty easy farm spot and gets decent rewards.

yea i see tons of bots in granite citadel and bergen hot springs as well
just go look at how those bots act and compare it to the arborstone bots, basically the same pattern

There's a definite pattern of landmark selection like signposts etc in GC and BHS, most of the Arborstone ones are different. They're finding their way out in a non-bot fashion...they're not running in circuits, getting caught in loops etc.
They may be targetting the Arborstone sign and veering off an angle but they look very organic and i couldn't replicate their pathing by selecting the sign. I figure it's gotta be target sign, then target Luxon Corpse, but again the pathing is hard to replicate without getting stuck and they don't just form an ant trail along the same path.
Much smarter than GC / BHS on exiting...but clearly bots and by the boatload.

Dissagree, I stood there for about 10 mins chatting to guildies and them Arborstone bots were running exactly the same 2 paths every time... some went to the sign post, others to that big juggernaught there...
Antithesis
Head to the Int Districts then tell me you disagree. Granted, they do loop in the Euro and USA districts, but not in ID1. These are definitely behaving differently. Regardless, it's another spot that Anet should be observing.
thedart
There are 3 things that really bother me: all the nice goldies that drop for them that they just merch off every day it's so sad, how the bots crowd the districts in some places, and how they cause all of the farming nerfs. Why A-Net won't just ban them is a mystery to me.

They do ban, Gaile herself said that they ban those accounts daily, if I remember correctly.

What you don't know is that ANet bans 2000 accounts a week, most of them are bot accounts, so do not say that ANet does nothing
Elite Bushido
^^thats what they say but ive seen the same bot at hot springs since HM came out
Shadows Soul Reaper
bot run in the same line you can tell real players just run out not point to point
The Missing Monk
They probaly get ran from Ascalon to LA take the boat to Kaineng and continue the missions afk I would think. Since they are all tyrian characters, this is what me and a guildie noticed, was waiting bout 5 mins before I could make the screen.

Since we all know what they are, I see no more room for discussion on this topic.
