New RMT Activity?

bump*

/ThisNeedsFixed

Same thing on Hyperion as well, only they also have characters "hidden" throughout Quarrymill. In trees, behind buildings, under the bridge etc.

They've been doing that for months. Spirit-binder bots.

Ban them! Ban them all to the Void!

Have them on our server to. I spent a hour one day just standing next to them tagging all the mobs around them so they weren't getting jack. I forced them to move. It made my day, these are some of the only RMT that you can grief as a player and its amusing for a short time.

SE likes to ban them after they've farmed gil. They'll let this continue so that they can find out where the items and gil goes that these characters are farming.

Yeah. Same server, I saw them too.

Some are actually actual players and don't want to be seen by other people - They do this as their power leveling service as well (since it was done since 1.0.)

What confuses me about these Spiritbonders is that they are only ever bonding accessories, from what I can see (they're generally in their full AF gear), and they picked a spot where it will take forever to Spiritbond anything.

There are much, MUCH better places to Spiritbond. >.>

A lot of times, it's because they want to avoid places that would either be too obvious or they just don't care. Botting can make someone rather lazy about what is "efficient", given that you don't even have to play to meet your goals. This is spoken from personal experience btw lol.
