Non tele Bot Miners

[kelowelo]

I was just outside Ul'dah yesterday, in Central Coerthas, mining Shards (dam do I need a load of these things). I was running from node to node and noticed no more telebotting. I thought, 'nice, the botters are losing out'. until I saw something odd about the way the other 4 miners were moving. They were running to a node spot that had not popped. Then I was watching the routes they were taking. All 4 moved in the exact same pattern. Running past a node to make a reverse at an exact same spot repeatedly, running in a set pattern everytime. I gave them the benefit of the doubt for a few minutes and sent a /Tell with no response. Report them I did and will continue to do so. I encourage others to do the same. Please be watchful of them and make sure of your complaints as well.

Thanks for reading and happy gaming.

The nodes do move I think there is like 6 diferent spots per 4 nodes and if it was jsut a multi boxer than there not RMT. But yea no reply makes them kinda fishy.

Those using bots have started moving to the type of bot which is harder to detect...

Bots that run between points instead of teleporting.
Bots that stand in range of spawns and attack with ranged attacks instead of teleporting between them.

SE was late with fixes, so RMT has already adapted to stay more than one step ahead.

As I mentioned in another bot thread, I saw the same thing. I believe these are more subtle replacement bots for the old teleport-partially-below-ground ones that have been constantly mining the same spot (lost track how many times I reported them) the last couple of weeks.

Just because they dont respond to your whispers doesnt make them a bot.

Ill ignore pretty much every random /tell i get unless you say something interesting. Demand to know If im a bot, of course ill ignore you. Especially if i was watching anime on my offscreen while idly chatting to the FC and running circles.

Make sure you use auto translate, just in case, that guy can't understand English?

Excellent idea, because he probably only speaks Chinese or maybe just Basic. Hehe.

I love the replies to this thread. Ppl trying to play down on non tele bots. Most of them are players who multi box and botting on that sub account. Reported quite a few of them. Verified with other miners that those are bots. Reported them but after 3 weeks they are still in game. So to those ppl who trying to say something else. Try go and check it out out yourselves. You will be astonish by the amount of players who bot and not caught since launch.

Sometimes you can just tell. I saw not 1 not 2 but 5 reo's go in the same pattern over and over and over again. They was all wearing the roe default clothing, had the default look, and NONE replied to my tells not to mention that they all take the same amount of time to mine a node as a botter. They have stepped their game up.

...and as I noted in another thread they have similar names like Flying Griffin or Hungry Tiger (not their real names).
