Not Everyone is a Bot

[CielWulfe]

For crying out load, just because you see someone out farming mobs doesn't mean they're a frigging bot. I had ONE spot to myself in Drybone where three goats pop at pretty much the same time, and I stayed there to avoid interfering with anyone else's farming.

Was I teleporting from mob to mob? No.

Was I wearing gear which was inappropriate or poor for my level? No.

Did I display any of the usual bot habits? No. Why? Not a bot.

Did I respond when I was accused of botting? Yes. Because I was present and in control of my character.

Christ on a cracker, seriously, people. We've become so obsessed with the rampant botting and RMT problem that we're willing to randomly point at anyone and automatically assume they're a bot? Grow the hell up. There are tons of other goats around Drybone without you running by and trying to take the three I had on the one tiny patch I had occupied. You saw me there, then move on, don't deliberately hang around to see how fast you're going to kill steal.

If my hunting goats for skins for the sake of crafting is a problem for you, too damn bad. You can go hunt karakuls on Coerthas. Oh wait... there's only 3-4 of those in a tiny spot being botted constantly when other legitimate players are trying to farm them.

You could also go farm hippogryphs in Mor Dhona. Oh wait, those are also heavily farmed by other legitimate players, but you'd probably assume those are bots, too.

So when did every ordinary player suddenly become a bot just because they're farming? Get a clue.

Heaven forbid you're not FATE farming or killing 4-5 of the same mobs for quests or hunting logs.

Either way, it is true certain mobs have way too few spawning locations. For the level 45 Alchemist quest you need a material called Pudding Flesh, and this item can so far (to my knowledge) be found on a Pudding encountered in a levequest. That's it. No other mobs in the game drop it (to my knowledge, again).

Bots don't have nice gear. Come on people!

Right? I'm decked out in mostly Darklight, one Toxotes, a high end GC bow. Totally bot gear...

Haha, i dont respond to whispers myself, only company chat ^^ My whisper chat is for gilsellers to spam, so is my shouting chat :P Do as me, just ignore those whispers ^^ I have myself thought a guy was botting once, as he did the same stuff over and over for 2 hours, i watched ten minutes, then started stealing his kills, for 2 hours, i claimed everything and had him kill it for me. When i asked him in whisper chat, he answered instantly, though, does this prove him not being a bot, or could he just have the sound on in the background?

Not answering whisper doesnt make one a bot.
Answering whisper does not make one not a bot.

People also have to understand this :P

At least drop rates are good. I could farm up over 2 stacks of webs from diremites in a pretty short amount of time. Always a saving grace. But yes, some things like the pudding certainly could use another source... but then again, the pudding reqs are only 1, so it's consumable goods (meaning consistent demand is potentially there).

You see, no offense to you, reading your post i thought you are on my server.
There is an actual bot, for 5 days now, same spot, same goats.
So, you might not be a bot, but you dont have the idea to farm alone and with all the bots on the servers, people are quick to accuse.
I know a bot when i watch a player for 5+ minutes. Others might jump to conclusions to fast.

No. Everybody is a bot. I'm scripted to post sarcastic remarks on the forum, for example.
