    Is this a bot and how do I report bots?

    I ask because I thought the chair icon means the person is away from keyboard and hasn't pressed a key or button or moved mouse or pad for while yet this gatherer miner class character is running around mining with afk on her head all the time...

    I also do not know the process for reporting bots so if someone could tell me and answer my question I would be glad to hear it.

    Can't tell from one screenshot. You have to monitor them for a long time, you also should blank out the names. No naming and shaming on the forums.

    Well it has been running around with the afk chair icon next to name for past 20 minutes I have been here at this location. I also still want to know how to report bots of which I believe this one is.

    You normaly can't move with the afk logo, so, yeah it's a bot. 100% sure.

    Something else amusing about people that get that icon while gathering. If they get hung up on a ledge they can't jump they will jump for hours confused. A real person wouldn't jump in the same spot over and over. The person I watched do this changed his pattern to go the opposite direction.

    You can turn off auto-away/back. Then you can set your character to away. And you get the chair while still doing stuff. This prevents you from getting tells, which I use to keep rmts away. This does not mean they are a bot

    Aren't you confusing /busy with /away? As far as I know /away doesn't prevent you from getting tells, also even if you turn off auto away and use it manually the game will remove it as soon as you do any action.
