I'm currently getting immense satisfaction watching those players, whom I've suspected for a long time, using gathering bots. The patch yesterday must have screwed up the "stealth" settings internal to the bots & consequently those players are getting annihilated every time they spawn to gather Adamantite & Cuprite Ores (at the nodes with mobs).

Why do I suspect (99.5% surety) that they're using bots? Well, they always appear & wait for the node pop at the identical same point & follow an identical path to it, even if that means running past a mob unstealthed (now). Previously they were able to stealth & sprint before they hit the ground. Now when the mob hits they just stand there, reactionless, until death. Sweet, sweet deserts. XD
