So I think theres a few bots in LA dis 1 (need your thoughts pelase)

Every night or so theres these ppl who are at storage spamming that they are selling weapons gold unidentified blah blah blah for like 40k and all types of prices.

So i go up there and I buy like 4 or 5 weapons for like 100k, this is where it gets interesting...

So right after I close my trade and finish it another trade instantly with another person, so im like ok. And 7 gold unidentified weapons intantly appear. The person says 70k ok???, want?, for sell you need? and then i just closed it because I was short on cash. And then another trade instantly opens from another person. (note, that humans dont know exactly when a trade is going to end) and this happened reapetedly for like 5 ppl in a row. I kept canceling and every once in a while asking how much. The vocabulary of these people was so little that this is practically all they said.

vocab:
you need?
for sale you need???
yes/no?
70k ok???
100k for all
lol
and a few other things.

I DO have screenshots that I am thinking of turning them into A.net but Im not sure if these are bots for sure. They dont sound english, and their grammar is odd.

And ive done this once before which is really weird, i added the person onto my friends list and noticed he was spamming in trade again. So i bought those 4 weapons 2 were long swords gold unid req 8 and 9 and 2 warhammers the same way. But whats odd is, every weapon that i have bought from this person I did not GET ANYTHING good out of identifieing them. And this is about 10 different unid gold weapons of different types. And out of all of these i got like 2 +30hps which i did not successfully salvage and many others.

So im getting a feeling something is messed up here. ANY HELP or comments on this matter?

Anyone else have this happen to you also???
And finally, should i show ss of these ppl and turn them in to A.net?

happened to me

probably bots
it was really weird and cool at same time...
it was a chinese name but i forgot

and theres also bots at abadons mouth ^^
bots who group and invite u and they dont go to u nor follow u
they split up like idiots and accidently get agros

I'd like to see the screenshots before I jump to any conclusions. If you post them, that would likely be the most beneficial aide to making a good decision here... keep in mind, you can always opt to do nothing, after all, it's just a game, if someone's using bots, it doesn't really bother me. ::shrug:: my /age shows that I average about 1.5hrs per day...

because everytime I did something from that guy I couldnt salvage it. and everything else sucked.

but i am almost positive that these ppl were bots. im just ganna go ahead and post some screenshots that i took.


heres one where it responds in a weird way...

I think your lieing. If it happens to me ill believe it.

you think im lieing? if so heres some proof that im not.
and if you want more proof i have at least 10 more screenshots, i might find the best ones and show yall.






*note that they all invited each other into the same party so that might tell something im not sure.
** second note, that micra tors is actually a friend that was talking to ignore that.

ye
dj nv hai dude is always at LA
he dont reply
he used to be in a guild with all idiots i meant people who just act or maybe are bots

odd...

So should I turn them in or what?

I don't think it qualifies as a violation. They aren't using an actual bot or script, at least not when they're hanging around a city selling stuff. Although from what I have read, they spend the rest of their time baby sitting farming bot scripts. But sitting around LA selling stuff isn't violating anything I don't think.

If we go with the human bot theory, then there's nothing that can be done... nor should it, I guess if you're going to have a shitty job, it might as well be a shitty job in front of a computer... ::shrug:: I don't know Asian gaming customs, but just let this slide.

**LOL and Conker has a point, but face it, we ALL shudder when we see a Korean team in Tombs!

some of these names are the (bot?)spammers @ ember light. (ie. Dj)

guess when their tired of the ppl intown not understanding what their advertising, they go "manual" selling mode in another town. hehe.

*their vocab. simply states, "english is not their 1st language".

**again, only Anet can try to differentiate if these ppl are using bots or not.

-cheers.

Welcome to MMORPG's, these people are known as "Chinese Farmers", you'll see them in EVERY MMORPG out there be it Lineage 2, World of Warcraft, FFXI, GuildWars, City of Heroes, just to name a few. I read an article about this 2 years ago, it was on the news that some big company in china hired nearly 30,000 gamers to farm online game currency and sell it online making billion of dollars a year while only pay their workers/gamers $7-8 a day. Unfortunately, there's no solution to fix this problem unless the game companies take some serious actions, we're talking millions of dollar business here, quite a bit of cash flow per year, not some casual small timer botters.

they're probably just koreans..they don't speak english all that well you know.

I have moticed Miss Begkiss,Dissolute girl and a couple of others have pretty much constantly been in LA in the last 4 or 5 days spamming unid`d gold weapons.
Sif pay 100k for an unid`d Fellblade lol.

OMG
thats the name
Nice wenyou!
that was my seller
i bought unid items off her for 15-30k each
and turned out 3 of em are 13-15^50 ^^
although i think
nice wenyou and dj nv hai are bots
spamming unid items too o.O

It reminds me of Lineage 2. That game had the worst. environment. ever. PvP was not a contest, PvE was griefing, it was all items- and gold-based. Best farmer = best in everything, which meant botters = teh win.

you know, if you ever happen to visit ember light camp in eu dist. (not sure if it happens in the US) there are these people who have a message i think in chinese, that ends in MMMMMMMMMMMM then a number. these people go on for hours, f/i i went in at 10am and they go MMMMMMMMMMM1, i come back at 3pm and they are ending in MMMMMMMMMMMM4. whats up with this? they do it every day of the week, 24/7.

all those names you listed are deffinily bots or people that get paid for selling. There on 24/7 and always spamming. The items they sell tho can be good and usually very cheap because they need to sell alot. (or they get whipped or fired.) Go to droknars very late at night and there is alot of these farmers selling very cheap working in teams (like you said one trade opens up after another) . I have gotten very good deals before.

FFS just report them and let ANet sort it out. It's not like people on this board can either tell if these are bots or chinese computer-sweatshop-employees, OR do anything about it either way.
