Bots are taking over Balmung..

[Kiroh]

The bots have actually gotten really crazy and kind of weird. I see them all the time in the shroud, well "see" is a strong word, I watch monsters run to a spot where players are attacking them from under the ground, then get hit by 20 attacks at once. That's not even to mention the ones dinging 29 in areas like Urth's Fount. (Mobs are 45+ there)

Oh Gods; they've taken over the best Spiritbinding spot too? :\

Well the good news is that nearly all bots are easy to manipulate. I was taking advantage of RMT bots that were farming the Aldgoats before, back during 2.0. A lot of them are programmed to detect a claimed mob, so that it won't attack it, but I'd say all of them are set to defend itself regardless. So I would just park myself on bots and claim targets just before the bot does its attack, so that I claim, bot attacks because it can't react in a split second. Bot does its normal detect, untargets the mob that it just hit because I claimed, attempts to find another target until it gets hit... proceeds to attack my claimed mob. Rinse and repeat. It's like being power-leveled.
