Suspicious Characters

[Sparky]

I think there are definitely characters out there who are involved in RMT activity who go against the grain of the observations that were noted earlier. Take this player I spotted on Wellwick Road farming fire crystals:

Clearly a bot/rmt farmer in my opinion. No significant character progress, no mount. He had no FC or GC affiliation.


And his gear. Note that he DOES have his pick and AF gloves; but there is no belt AND some of the gear is lv1/lv5.



Personally, I would have no problems reporting this guy. I find it extremely hard to believe someone would be so incompetent with their gearing; and besides, this guy would struggle with high end nodes so there clearly has been no attempt to aim for those stat requirements.

I don't know how it is in other servers, a lot of gathering Bot(s) in Goblin will have a lvl 50 miner, and like most of you pointed out only one class upto 10 or 11, obviously so they can unlock and use other classes.
They use to just have basic lvl 1 gear, usually less than lvl 10 gear too at lvl 50. I've seen teleporting ones, under the map bot(s), bot(s) with tweaked super fast mining swings. I've reported, they disappeared; now they have more realistic names, they use sprint now before leaving a node, but still travel in a pattern (such as running towards an area then turning around, at the same point each cycle).
I too started seeing (I still call them "bots" you begin to recognize automated behaviors) with HQ gear, yet still a lvl 5 pickaxe. You can't tell me unless you're completely bored and have no job, that you can level miner to 50 and only play a DoW to 10?

All of the bots I've seen have the same visual gear as the one you posted. They always wear that blue shirt. And yes, with 1upAquaris, I have seen them Sprint to node to node with going through even obstacles in their path as if they are a ghost. Plus I've seen one swing a pickaxe as if it were the Kraken Club from FFXI in four quick swings.

I have a set of low-level gear I use when I gather shards though...
