    Bot's and SE's responce

    Botting has become a joke a massive joke yet i have seen no responce from SE addressing the situation

    while i no it takes time to implement countermeasures to stop botting some kind of responce to reassure the fan base that are paying to play this game would be nice.

    people who have been reported more than a week ago are still there teleporting from node to node come on SE a week and there still there.

    So i am asking that SE inform the community about the measures they intend to implement.

    as paying costomers we deserve at least that

    Yesterday I had to ask someone to help me do my hunting log because lvl 50 bots were camping an area and killing the marks I needed... Luckily if you ask for help in shout people are willing to help you.

    A bot that was killing Banemites in at least the last two days on Phoenix was no longer there yesterday.

    I'd have to keep checking if Airell Piper is still around before I conclude that the character was finally banned though.

    I noticed alot fewer bots in my usual mining area. But a TON more by the low level spawns for mining.

    How do you recognize a bot? I mean, I need to farm diremite webs often and my actions are extremely repetitive. Sort of a system if you will. What are the tell tale signs to look for?

    They teleport to their target. Something honest players like yourself can't do, regardless of how repetitive you are.

    Actually, I think for mining/gathering (not killing things) some of the RMTs as of today started using a more difficult-to-identify bot program. Instead of teleporting underground with just their name showing they have put their bots on a relentless, endless cycle of walking between the nodes as they propagate and mining them almost like a normal player.

    I noticed this morning, instead of the several teleport miners outside Ul'duh, a huge army of this new type. They were all identical characters (the large Hulk-like race) dressed the same, with similar types of names. The only way to definitively identify these as RMT bots (though surely that is what they are) is if they work the nodes 24/7 in a way humans can't and obviously if SE can tie their shard harvests to their RMT masters.

    You can still get hunting log credit for something, even if another person has tagged it as their mob.

    Maybe SE needs to run to other mmo staff and ask them how they keep their games clean.

    It doesn't seem to be getting any better, my blist is growing and is almost full.
