    Being Called A Botter

    So recently I got back in this game and pulled a couple all-nighters on my vacation to finally hit 50 on my Ninja. During this time I chatted with many people in Coerthas, even made some fun conversations about the expansion coming out. I was pretty active in my talking when people we were around.

    I fate grind for my 50's because to me it's easier and I have more control over it. Yeah it takes a little longer but to me it keeps my brain going. During this time I was bombarded with friend requests, trade requests, /tells and such accusing me of botting to which I replied to them all assuring them I'm far from it.

    It got so bad that I had to put on the busy signal... that's when the shouts started...for about 3 hours I got into lame internet fights defending myself that I was just a player with too much vacation time on his hands.

    Fast forward to today. I have a party finder up for Shiva EX. Only one person has joined the PF in the last 2 hours and me and him have made good friends chatting. I have received about 15 tells from different people saying "Why would anyone want to party with a botter?" and such.

    Why am I being punished for having way too much time on my hands? I get it, go outside, enjoy life etc but i spent my vacation playing a game i really love and now I probably have to change servers now... sucks man. guess i'll only play 45 minutes a day.

    Shouldn't let what other people say about you bother you so much. Definitely don't need to switch servers.

    All those people who were spam telling you and in shout, you have a very legitimate reason to report them for harassment and you very well should.

    Ouch, that really sucks OP.
    I realize that people are sensitive about botting and RMT but it generally isn't that hard to differentiate between a legit player and a bot. ( If people have two brain cells to rub together, that is.)

    Maybe it's just me, but something just seems off with your story. If what you say is true, then you should, in fact, report all of these people for harassment.

    I don't see much off with his story... from the sounds of it there were a lot of people shouting at him, too many to bother reporting?
    I mean, someone probably thought he was a botter, told their FC, etc etc. It's easy to have these things spiral out of control.

    I find it odd that you'd be called a botter just for doing FATEs. People on my server are more likely to not notice a real bot than to falsely accuse a legit player.

    Reporting even a small handful of the names may be enough. They might be people in the same FC or LS with each other and are collaborating against you as some weird joke. A GM would likely pick up on that in the investigation.

    Yeah, I agree. Not saying the people harassing me are in the right, but maybe he was doing something that would probably make him look suspicious. OP, did you do things like staying ours and ours killing always the same mobs for small kill exp (or farm things like the karakuls in Coerthas for hours straight?). Not saying you don't have to, but if you are in the same place doing the same thing for over three hours, people will start get suspicious.

    it just bothers me because I was having fun until this happened.

    I did report each and every one of them.

    If you find my story off I do apologize. You must be one of the people bothering me

    Which is a crappy thing to do. It just really gets me down is all and I dunno if I should log for a while or just say screw them and keep playing.
