If you've got a monk, come on down and party and help body block those farmers from entering Talus Chute.
EDIT: BTW, we're chatting in the Trade Channel, as the bots have decided to leave it alone.
Monk Protest: Drok's International 1
jciardha
Taken about a half-hour ago. The line's grown since then. Lots of monks standing in line right in front of the Talus Chute entrance.

You can't body block in town.
kvndoom
BOdyblocking doesn't work in town, they'll just run right through you. And those who don't understand English won't have a clue what's happening anyway.
Diablo???
Anet should turn body block on....
oh wait, on second thought, that might have some negative repercussions on us human players should those bots decide to do the same, lol.

Ok so Anet nerf Grif farming and what do we have now in drogs international a load of M/W running constantly through the gate about 15 at a time. All the chat is in korean saying WTS this and that. Is there any solution to stop korean bots cause they are ruining the economy of the game.
quickmonty
Say it with me:
Droknar's Forge, or Drok's if you really can't type it out.
PS. Assuming there isn't someplace on the map that I don't know of called Drogs.

First off, it is DROKNAR'S FORGE. Not Drognar's.
And also, why do you care so much? Infinite threads about bots at Droknar. Not like there weren't at Augury. What infuriates you so much? Does it affect your game? And most of the time they are Chinese, as the Koreans have their own servers.
The farming is not that good even if they are getting a few golds a run. I think there are a lot bigger issues in this game then people accusing farmers of being bots. Show the proof and you will have some credibility. When someone goes Ettin Hunting for Sup. Runes, are they bots because they go in and out of the zone?

The only reason I don't like it, is that it's in one of the main cities. A.Net should try and divert the farmers onto Seekers Passge or Heros Audience, e.g griffons have found a new home after fleeing the scarab invasion.
Are they the main reason for the drop in parchment and steel prices?

i know its not funny but its like a conga run all u see is M/W sometimes the odd M/E.
if u look close enough u see them run like they had some ale some bump into the tree before the exit.
Anet says they want a free bot game. sure they will

Nah when people farm ettin runes the odd couple of people run through the portal when you are in droks is tons of farmers going through the portal. Its obvious they are bots if you watch the route they take. Also it does affect my game when i have people opening up random trades and saying WTB every second and some how spamming WTB all over the channel. Some people e.g. myself has took time to earn over a mil yet these people run bots that bring in money which sells on ebay to other players making the game unbalanced
BellyFlop
people are making a block at the door to complain about bots
or better trying to block the bots from exit the town. (not possible i know)

well, maybe try turning off the Local and Chat channels, and just pay attention to any PM's you might have coming in at the time. if you're there just to shop, then i guess it can get really, really annoying trying to find what you're after. if it's that hard then go to your home districts and see if anyone's trade spamming in Drok's district 1.
and it depresses me when people can't tell one Asian language from another. "O noes teh asians look all the same" that really pisses me off.

great..body block doesnt work..youre in a distrct that almost NO-ONE farms in. This is working....Isn't It?
Thom
Gah, I hope anet closes this soon *eyeroll*.
Asians think all white people look the same and my chinese friends are impressed that I can pick out a german or english person. I'm not going to lot worry too much about confusing various asian scripts.

There is posts in another GW community that I'm part of, and they think it is a party...I'm not sure why this post says protest...
Mavrik
Even if the block worked... there are two other ways into the chute haha

I think anet should kick the bot farmers. the more attenion there the better. someone will notice sooner or later.

You monks protest too much. >.>
Shadowfox1125
I find it ironic that these monks are protesting farming when I see more monks exiting Droknar's Forge than warriors to farm trolls. Or, I'm missing the point of the OP.

Whether or not a person is botting can only be accurately discovered by looking through logs, and even that isn't entirely reliable; Better bots often use variable timers to mix up actions to make a person's actions seem 'more human', and the static spawns in the game don't help.
The economy in a video game world, where the currency has little to no concrete backing, and high-end equipment can be gotten easily at fixed prices, means little to me as well.
However, I would hardly protest the ban of bots, regardless of the state of the economy.
What I will say is that I miss the days when you could hold conversations in the local chat and meet new people. Trade spam in the local channel is not unique to sellers, or spam bots, nor to any specifici region; However, as one of the rallying cries of people in Droknar's Forge was about taking back the local channel, that much I completely support.
The trade channel is labelled 'trade' for a reason. Whether it's Lion's Arch, Droknar's Forge, or Augury Rock, in American, European, Int, or any other region, there is no reason trade offers should be spammed so prevalently the way they are now across the local channel.
So if nothing else, I would love the idea of Anet taking action to give back the local channel to us.

Not again. I wonder how long this one will take before it degenerates into another example of why people shouldn't be left to their own devices. ANet needs to get out the riot gear and go crack some skulls.

I haven't been on. I don't know what's happening in Tyria. Please, add more next time and educate those who only have GWGuru to inform them. Too busy to play.

Sadly just a few minutes ago i was bored enough to mess with the farmers. I invited every one of them to my party. Surprisingly alot of them accepted and when we got outside they just said "?" said some mumbo jumbo then went back in. I thought more of them would be bots. I did catch a few that were bots. You can follow them around and pick up drops. Its hilarious.
koneko
That original screenie shows a really short line :|
*click*

Diablo???
What I dont understand is if these farmbots are so obvious to us players, why couldn't Anet identify and terminate them accordingly?
Hockster
I find it highly ironic how everyone complains about the bots, but the first time they good a good drop, they're buying the perfect mod from a bot for a better resale of that item. Complain all you want, but remember that every transaction you make with one quantifies their existence.
Even more ironic is how many guru forumers hang out in LA1 and do nothing but spam All Chat with WTS messages.
"Hello Pot, this is Kettle. You are so black."

so very true

Well, i myself have to say its ridiculous.
I moved from EU server to US server just to be with guildies, and i was suprised to find that there are alot of chinese players (Or bots) on the US server, far far more than there are on the EU server.
So methinks these players are targeting you US guys and gals as victims for quick cash. But... the stupid thing is, the chinese that goes around the chat channels isn't even correct,
A) They have crap grammar
B) The sentences don't make any bit of sense due to the bot probably making a mess of the chat.
C) And who the hell is going to understand it even if it did make sense, with the exception of myself and a minority of others who can speak chinese..
I can't see the point of it, the US server is being invaded.

Of course, this assumes that Anet cares about trading spam in the local chat channel. I am not convinced that they see it as a high priority.

Stop trying to tar every player with the same brush. Just because you want to cheat doesn't mean everyone else does.
