OFFICIAL: Confirmed botting, node-teleporting, terrain-hacking,and exploitation!

With all due respect, it's a non-issue.

I had all my mats from a marathon, 2 day grind in my bags.
30 Nodes open at 26, they are up to date to 31.

I mined from 26 to 30 and had

600+ Wyvern Obsidian
600+ Silex
600+ Bomb Ash

500+ Crystals (not shards - crystals)
120 Tier 2 Carbonized Matter
200+ dye Pigment

My math suggests I have around 6 more stacks before I level out of the tier.

This is a level 26-31 grind. 43 is half way to 50. The amount of material coming in to the game from legitimate mining and gathering dwarfs demand. The markets are going to glut no matter what. All Bots are doing is speeding it up by a few months.

Having looked at the images, those guys are mining crystal shards and if they really wanted to do that effectively they would one shot low level sprites with a 50 DoW. They don't matter.

Speeding up the process or not the AH is being affected, they even have hunting bots which are like my worst fear come true. I have seen the bots fail at farming mobs but the major issue is mats that were selling for 250 per, and now being sold at 50 per. Instant gratification kills games, and lowballs everyone else.
