Healing bots in raids

[Pyretta_Blaze]

Back in the world of darkness days my group witnessed what was most likely a heal bot on a script. It would unsheath its weapon and slowly walk towards the F2 player, sheath the weapon then cast medica and do it all over again every few seconds. Another time we found one that if you typed in /say Cure it would cast CureII and then Medica II regardless of healing need and always targeted the same person.

Most are probably just distracted/drunk/sleepy/bad or whatever but I do believe some are legit bots.

This is exactly what I'm finding. I'm not trying to open a 'healers are lazy cause they're not DPSing' or anything like that. I mean actions that seem scripted. One popped all the CDs at the start of the fight, then cast medica2 plus 3 cure2's on the tank and only did that for the entire fight. The only change was when the CDs came off CD. The tank wasn't actually the main tank so he was at 100% most of the fight anyway. That's not lazy healing. That's 'I'm not at the screen' healing. Regardless of whatever else was going on in the fight. Others just cast Stone the entire time, regardless of the fight. The whole party is dead but the healer is just casting stone (ignoring requests for revs and all that.)

Things of this nature. Lazy playing, perhaps, but laziness that makes it seem like there's no one guiding the character.
