Who are they?

So I was doing a ROG quest and when I teleported to Summerford Farms I came across all these people using the practice dummies, they all had the level 50 gear and 90 weapon glamoured over Augmented Ironworks/Dread gear. And they all had the new leaf symbol which makes no sense?

Can anyone explain what exactly they're doing? Are they bots, or?

(Am I allowed to have their names in the post as I'm not accusing them of doing anything they shouldn't? I'm just curious.)

Those would be bots, yeah. I'd say multiboxing if it weren't for the new leaf symbols. Maybe this is related to the MSQ thing?

Edit: Thinking about it, maybe it's an event thing? Their names make me think that, at least.

As I stated in the other thread, they are not bots. They are characters created for the live event in (I believe it is) Paris.

Stop spreading misinformation.

Ah thank you for the fast replies and putting my curiosity to rest!

Thank god lol. I was like... how does he have new adventurer symbol and wearing full dreadwyrm gear? Thought for a minute this game had hackers finding out ways to give themselves loot.

Pretty sure those are the i90 sets, not the AF sets. :3

Well, the game does have teleportation hacks that allow bots to beat, for example, Camp Westwind without the boss being able to hit them at all. I'm not so sure bots are entirely unable to just cheat themselves through FCoB. They probably just don't have any reason to do it, as the gear they get from the job quests is sufficient for their needs.

Of course all the cool stuff happens on my server when I'm not logged in.
