Botters

[Peregrine]

So found something new lately thats happening with people botting while gathering

they are glitching majorly on the node(it shows them well over 10 yards away from the mode, and they move AFTER they start gathering)

i noticed 1 specific person was doing this last night when i was out at treespeak, and only the 1 person, the other 2 out there with me werent glitching at all

and it wouldnt have been suspicious, except he did it on EVERY node, and it was only him

and ive seen this in the past with certain other people, and it seems consistant

so something they are doing is causing the game to glitch while they gather

They're running by the node with their menu up, then swiping enter when the option to gather comes up. You do run quite a bit after that happens. As far as the data your unit is receiving, they started mining exactly where they hit enter. Then wait, no, their new location actually updates on your end, and they seem to move after they already started mining.

There aren't significant gathering bots to my knowledge that don't require you to run it to nodes yourself.

so it updates them after EVERY swing? sorry that aint whats happening

imagine they get 5 swings at the node
now imagine they are in 5 random locations within 20 yards every time they swing


they are also running somewhat of a pattern when they are doing all this in the area, literaly running a full circle to every "possible" node that could spawn, up to it, then away if it isnt there, a normal person would scan the area, ut they seem to run up to it instead each time even if it isnt there
