    I'd rather not cause a witch hunt for speculative reasons at this stage, and for that reason the OP and others probably want to remove those pics because naming and shaming is against the forum rules. I know it was posted in good faith, but it's probably best to file a ticket and let a GM investigate whether the player is legit.
    It's a bot...

    Group like this appeared since Nov '13 on my server, SE did nothing. I am tired of reporting them as I have to type in their names every time.

    I saw a 10-boxer on Adamantoise. It was really suspicious, and definitely looked like a bot. Most legit boxers rely on /follow and stuff like that (unless there are new programs since I 3-boxed in WoW a while ago, but all legit boxers seem to use /follow), and they would get at least somewhat out of sync some of the times. When they're perfectly in sync and in formation it really looks like the values are hard-coded in in a bot/script, which would keep them in perfect formation than a dynamic real boxer.

    Then again, maybe there are new boxing tools I'm not aware of, but I have never seen anything with such exact positioning and precision than I see these people. I'm pretty sure they're bots.

    After the May 1 report that SE made about banning about 500 accounts, almost all of the retainers that I suspected of botting have disappeared and the prices of myth mats have skyrocketed. This pretty much confirmed that those players were indeed doing something illicit. As a crafter, this means that my profit has drop quit significantly (though prices of equipment might raise to reflect this in the future). Regardless, I am pleased with this development, I would gladly lose profit to prevent others from gaining easy and unfair profit.

    they were on shiva as well, but have disappeared for what I can tell. but then so has most of the shard farmers and so as im sure with other servers prices have increased. the old myth mats are still around the same prices though with heavy fluctuation, the new ones are quite stable at the high prices of around 100k each except tawny latex at around 40k.

    These are screens from the Malboro market. The same 3 retainers have been posting greater than 50,000 myth worth of mats at any one time and are almost instantly replenished if purchased since 2.2 hit.

    This is clearly an automated bot farm =(

    Or someone that just transfered from a server where they're worth like 1/4 of that.
