Bots or Stupid People?
Ultimate Warrior
I do lots of farming, and one of my farming areas is outside of augury. When I go back to the town there is almost always someone that comes up to me and says "you buy?". If I whisper they wont respond and if I close trade with them they follow me around until I leave. I was wondering if these are bots or just really stupid people.

They are Koreans and the sort 
They don't understand what you type.
I wouldn't call'em stupid

im leaning towards really stupid noob ppl that dont know how to wisper or any thing. just when they do this put in 1 gold or a shatty item if it is even worth ur time if its a bot it might accept that item... maby it wil discurage it a little bit =)

They are bots. I have had these come up to me several times, and every once in a while if you offer a crazy low price they'll actually accept it.

They're Korean farmers, not bots (if you mean, by bot, an automated program). I doubt that you meant to imply they are stupid because they can't understand English, unless you would argue that English speakers who don't speak Korean are stupid.

I am pretty sure some of them are not real people. Just to see if they were I stayed up for 3 days in the same district and kept gettin trade offers and the question "you buy?" from the same bot. I even added the bot to my friends list and was on everytime and in the same place. I bought a lot of gold unidentified items from one and now i get a lot of pms having to do with buying gold online.

Korean farmers don't bother me, English-speaking scammers do. In fact, Korean famrers' prices are actually pretty reasonable. The fact they don't speak English well mean they cannot sweet talk you into a bad deal. Just my 2 cents.

Try International Ascalon lol.
I get no less than 5 people running up to me right as a i login and PMing me with "What weapon you buy?"
Its great if your looking for some weapons. They ARE quite reasonable. But it gets annoying if you don't want anything :\
Sad that a good percentage of the people that do that are sweatshop farmers making money to sell on Ebay for their employors. Thats why their reasonable with prices. They got ALOT of junk to get rid of, they wont fight over 5-10k.
--------
Also, sometimes the big Ebay companies will come to Lion's Arch dist 1 (you know it cause they all have similar names and act like sell bots) - These are fun to mess with.
Go there and type in "WTB 10/10 Sundering String" or some other perfect mod thats worth alot, and see how many PMs you get WITHIN SECONDS from these people just stating the price they sell for, ie. "10/10 20k ok?"
My record has been 9 different people.

Think of it this way: If you were in another country and a salesman came up to you and only knew two words of english and said "you buy?", and you replied by asking how much it was and he doesnt reply. Now wouldnt you be annoyed?

I prefer an international district filled with annoying peddlers to one that's empty.
And let's not forget we're enjoying a no-monthly fee gaming environment while Asian players are paying monthly fees for playing GW.
Yes, perhaps they should be confined to their home districts, and English-speaking people should all be shipped back to England.

). I told him I didn't need those GODLY hammers after which he begged me to run him to Droknar's. You tell me which is the idiot? The guy who irritates you but says nothing, or the guy who just won't shut up and leave you alone.Stereotypes of any kind are usually a very bad thing. I hope you weren't opening this thread just to start an anti-Asian hate/flame thread because that is kind of what it looks like to me.

These are bots. If they say "What weapon do you want to buy?" and you say "Longbow" for example, he'll put in all his Unidentified (always unidentified, the only thing they sell) Longbows and says "25K" for example.
You can screw these guys though, got a full trade window full off required 7-9 weapon for 25K of one of those bots

I work in a world reknowned retail business in Miami. On a daily basis I deal with many people I cannot understand through language alone. I have no problem with people who don't speak my language approaching me to purchase our product. Because of this, we are able to form a buyer to seller relationship. My advantage, which can't be expressed in game, is body language and hand signals. If I told them to stay out of my "district" I would not have a job.
As an American, I welcome any and all walks of life. That is what made my country what it is today.

If you're being harassed by bots, send a screenie to support.. it really does work. I was gettin harassed constantly by bots advertising a cash for gold site, sent in a screenie, got a reply within an hour and haven't been bothered by em since

They are not bots,just that they are china or koreans' farmer.they also cant speak english well,so,some of them use broken english such as ''u buy?'' 15k ok?'' ...

augury international is a korean farmers market. the bots or players sell solo farmed items and then sell the virtual gold. the unidentified items there are tested so you get crap. there was a thread on this laready, and if i wasnt so lazy i would give you the link.
