I followed them from creation to deletion and tried to do exactly what they do, and possibly do that even better. I found that the average one lives 17 minutes, and make less than 1,300 gold (I haven't put down the exact number, I think it was about 815g + 4 monastery credits) They are all Elementalists choosing secondary Warrior, simply because it's fastest (shortest ways) and the quests are one of easiest to automate (use 1-2 skills or just stay there and henchies kill). The last thing they do is Choose Your Secondary Profession quest and putting gold and monastery credits into storage. Yes, they lose 50g per character to open Xunlai storage account, they don't trade them to another bot account, just put into storage. Then immediately create another character and repeat. None of them do A Formal Introduction despite this quest being very very simple and rewarding 150g. So they make near 1,300g in 17 minutes, at this rate it's near 4,500g per hour. Sounds really pathetic (It's still possible to farm 10-15k per hour consistently), but done nonstop 24 hours is over 110k hard cash a day, not depending on selling anything to people and fully automated. They should be very easy to spot for the ban, all of them. |

and if the idea of IP was implemented: proxy ftw
I don't get why ArenaNet never add things like limiting the creation of new character to one per ten minutes, or making impossible to auto-target the NPC next to the door.
The bots just exploit things easily to fix. Please make me a developer, I will add a rock in the middle of the way for block the bots and problem fixed, if botters reprogram bots, I change the rock and laugh all day!

creation limit ftw
Yeah simple solution you can't Delete/Make a new char within say 30min.
But then they would have to change the "name holding" time as I think thats 30 min?
before the name is up for grabs for anyone and if you legitimately deleted it and remade it
for some reason you could still keep the name.
I didn't want to hang around there too long just in case I got caught up in this accidentally
and just to make sure I "was chatting in local chat" to others talking about this
but I have sent a few reports in.

Spoiling their run and laugh can be done by trading them. Sometimes.
