GM (Can I Have It?)

[melisande]

They are still there today. Why isn't a GM investigating this?

I'd otherwise take the initiative and just pull all the mobs onto their location.

But it seems you can't pull a mob more than a set distance from its spawn point before it resets and whizzes off home.
Nothing like XI where you could just just disembark a long train of nasties from half a zone over.

Which is a shame... Because it would make collaborative inworld griefer busting a player level thing.

They changed that in FFXI a long time ago. Mobs would de-spawn after they lost hate from original target. Changed that in 2006 or so.

Fear not SE has done round one resulting in over 800 bans they tend not to ban 1 by 1 and do mass bans here and there i say within the month we see them all but if not totally eradicated

This, is a shame
Metagaming is too much fun.

Over on Diabolos server mining bots are so out of control that in some areas there is 2-3 bots for every node (that is 8-12 bots in one small area). Some are underground, some are stealthed, all have level 1 gear, and all teleport node to node. Outside Ul'dah at the 3 level 5 mining areas I counted over 30 bots.
I'm sure this story plays out on most the other level nodes as well.
Reporting them is a lost cause, there is just too many....unless you want to make it a full-time job just reporting them.

Same bots are still here today, and a GM still has yet to do anything about it.

Lol no, they're using hacked accounts, until they put in a script that doesn't accept packets from the user that move their position like that, it won't ever stop.
