During this weekend while I was farming ale and clovers, I couldn't help but to notice just how easy, fast and relatively profitable (especially this weekend) farming Raptor Nestling is.
Now as we all know as soon as such farm is discovered bots from all over the world will appear there and start to abusing it, so my question is: What is different with this farm?

Oh sure, give them ideas!

j/k - good question, actually. It's not like it's a difficult area to get to, either.

nothing is different... but imo perosally wouldn't ask this question on here... it might "encourage" them to come to rata sum O.0

loco is that a joke?

If a r6 is required I would have been hacking all these days I've been farming prior to reaching r6 Norn.

I LOL'D at the fact that when there aren't bots, people post asking where they are.

Anet finally made a [decent] bot killer and they are testing it in Rata Sum.

Soon in the outposts near you!!!

It's an expansion.
So you need to buy two games.
Not worth it I guess.

Correct me if I am wrong, but generally the bots skills set requires more than 1 campaign.

Ohh that's right!
Man I'd make such a bad bot. The first thing that I thought of was BUYING the game. Stealing accounts FTW!

Although weren't the undead outside of Bergen nicely farmable with a C1 only build?

Heh do you think Anet knows about the multi-campaign thing?

Make bots buy multiple accounts and then BAN em good.
Rinse and repeat.

(i know about the IP bans and all but they would just pay the fee to change it i reckon)

actually, now that you mention it... I've not really seen any bots in GWEN... They are all still in factions and proph (from what I've seen). Maybe they did not think taking the time to somehow procure a GWEN access key was worth the hassle?

Iunno, they actually did something with outpost signs in a recent update AND there are 2 zones that leave Rata sum, AND its big enough that someones name can be grayed out in some spawn points.

These are all the reasons I could guess, not that bots dont know about it, but that they cant set up a macro for it, too many variables in town.

I'd Assume because there too many variables for them to be effective.

ie raptor patrols, those necro dinos outside cave thatrandomly spawn, getting to the cave w/o aro-ing so much that ruric would be laughing, and gettign the right dino's agro'd and then kill them.

good thing there not there...bots freaking suck-.-

Think its the mapping issues with Rata Sum thats stopped them?

If you double click on anything there to try and walk there you run straight into a wall every time. So maybe the bots tried, spent a few days walking into walls and then gave up.
