    It's worth noting that under normal circumstances, people who have a botting client running will never be auto-flagged as AFK, nor will they ever be kicked from the Novice Network because it seems to be doing something in the background that leads to a player's client constantly being flagged as active even if they aren't actually doing anything.

    Bots that are only targeting specific nodes also will generally return to an aetheryte to wait (Usually a capital city or a house) as opposed to waiting where the node is going to spawn, as this makes them more conspicuous due to the fact that they'll be piling on top of whatever other bots happen to be using the same script (Which was very common back in the ARR/HW days).

    I mean, I don't want to be that guy, but this entire thread would be pointless if we actually bothered to compare the OP's story to real bot behavior.

    They use obvious packet manipulation or something similar to alter their movements/coordinates. Why would they camp next to a node if they don't need to travel to it manually? They can 'teleport' everywhere.

    Actually, the fact that these people are camping and AFK is more like proof that they're not bots.
