#deletejumppotion - new/returning players should read this

This bot talk is amusing. DF turns us all into glorified NPCs, and it seems a lot of people don't tend to feel the need to communicate or show basic civility. This doesn't mean that they are bots. Bad players will always exist, and all you can do it toss out little tips here and there and hope that maybe they will think about it on their end. Don't try to browbeat people in a dungeon and get them to acknowledge your superior knowledge.

This is true, this one time way back, we had this tank in manor that was just AWFUL; like, beyond awful, rolling your face on the keyboard should've gotten better results; walking right up into groups enemies faces attacking them with his sword, never flashing, never waiting. When enemies aggro onto players he'd ignore it and focus his targets 1 at a time, standing in AoE

We kept trying to politely tell him how to do the dungeon, he'd ignore us and keep resolutely marching forth. By the end were were CONVINCED this guy had to be a bot; no human could be this dense and started discussing it aloud by the time we reached the second boss. He got to the final boss room, turned around and said "im not a bot" and bailed on us.

...we were to say the least completely miffed.

It doesn't mean they are, no, but make no mistake... There ARE bots in the game that run dungeons, have been for a long while. Can we prove one way or another? No, but that just means one is as likely as the other and it bears pointing out that it could be the case as well.
