To many eureka bots its getting out of hand

Are you sure they are bots? What if they really are people farming it for real? I mean i also once farm that stuff for several hours and you think i am also bot? How did you know they are bots? Because they dont talk? Because they do the same stuff over and over? Because their name is so random? Because they all use the same clothes?

The bots are a problem because they forcibly scale up the HP on ALL of the NMs in the zone, and each bunny fate can only provide a limited number of bunnies, meaning if there are enough bots/players around you can potentially be deprived of them.

The Eureka bots tend to:

1. Act in perfect unison.

2. Are freshly skipped accounts that are using the standard augmented cryptlurker gear + a green ring (Though usually glammed presumably with the intent of making them less suspicious).

3. Know exactly where their bunny chest is every single time and run directly to its location with none of the hesitation you'd see from actual players pausing to triangulate the location.


There are regularly people there farming chests for real and the bots stick out like a sore thumb.

Let me guess, bots from Hyperion? I reported them a few months ago too. Square never do anything about it

I don't remember it happening any of the times I was farming it on Crystal and I was farming it for a year into Shadowbringers because the RNG was not giving me the yeti. It might be happening recently or there have at least been times when it's not happening that have coincided with all the times I've been there.

It's always been a thing, but I do concede back then it more numbered in the single-digits. Later in ShB and into EW, they've positively multiplied. I'm assuming maybe the influx of new players encouraged them to redouble their efforts in getting the gold chest mount as this can sell to new players in a fresh market. I can't really say as to the why, but they've definitely been growing.

They're far more obvious during the night as I assume they either log off to avoid detection or there's simply less people so it becomes easier to detect. There was a bevy very recently when I finally decided to also complete my PLD weapon and had to hang around Pyros for crystals.

Aye, they are painfully obvious bots. It's even mentioned in casual chatter with other real players when waiting for the bunny fate to spawn.

Ya the bots never reply if being asked if they are a bot.
The go to several bunny chest spots even if that is not their chest spot until they get to the correct spot.
They always stand in the same spots all bunched up during the bunny fate.
If you quickly take your gear off and put it back on a ton of times the healer bunny farm bots are always forced to spam healing on you and they do that completely in sync the heal spam
One time i took eureka catastrophe logo with me while waiting for the bunny fate to come back killed myself with it suddenly the healer bunny farm bots would attempt to raise me i declined the raise they would try to raise me again.20 declined raise later they were still trying to raise me without saying a word hmm.
They also have slower movement speed when walking around during the bunny fate.

Oh ya the ones you mean are just some of the bots the hyperion ones 2 full partys of bots lol. There must be like 20 bots or so at this point from several servers on primal and they are not stopping they create even more bots cuz not a single one of them got punhished in months.

Even on JP, there's alot of bots at Pyros.

ALSO, they have a bodyguard to kills any mobs that you bring near the bots... What the hell...

You can get reported for interacting in a way to 'disable' or trying to MPK a bot. Not all these folks are like away from keyboard. It's best to be discreet, report, and stay out of the way.

The bots where always there but since endwalker released they're just more common there is a reason why Eldthurs Horn prices dropped by 75% since EW launcher, its because botting increased, its very sad to see here on the Chaos datacenter where pyros instances are just 50-90% bots.
