Bots, Bots and more Bots!

I had a bot tank for Infrit initial story fight today, was a nightmare trying to take it out, guy was just moving in same pattern and not taking any agro.

I do have a question. If people go in as a group and has binds and sleeps with the aqua push or whatever then what happens to the bots if the mobs are pushed away and bound? I just don't know why the bots should be faster than humans. I might not have a macro but I have done pretty well with some classes having instant damage abilities and standing at the spawn point with tab and instant so I could get some credit in certain FATEs where others seem to kill mobs before I can do damage. Asking to learn if I can even try and accomplish anything there.

You do know that these bots have their macros setup using skills such as Raging strike and what not to ramp up their damage so that they can kill them extra quick? level 35s can't compete at all.

heheheh, I like this idea. It's been a while since I've visited Coerthas, perhaps I should take a little trip tonight :D

Was farming Golden Fleece mobs for my weaver mats and this guy Hyur running with 7 Lalafells following him passes by me pulling every single mob and all casting bliz aoe (sorry on JP client so names might be wrong.) Anyways I ponit to the guy and talk in "/say (his name) RMT!", this guy sends me a tell saying he's not RMT, so I'm like WTF!? and just ignore and report the dude. Then he sends me tell again saying "Do you know what macro is?"... controlling 7 additional characters all same gear, all weird names... he's using 3rd party software in some way to have all characters execute a command and acts like he's playing legit... LOL

Related but not... But there are sheep elsewhere that drop that same item...

If that's the case, he's a multiboxer, not a bot or hacker. It's not exactly hard, or even banned in a lot of games, as he does actually control all of them. Usually they are all the same class, as that makes skills easier, hit the same button for all. Have one character the "main", put the rest to follow him, and done. It really sucks in PvP, where you get one shot, no easy way to fight back without a fear or something.

To those saying "just do enough damage", have you tried against the bots? They kill it before you can even get enough damage in. It's the same if you try to do fates against a fate party, everything just dies too fast for you to get credit.
