Ok, we all know for at least now, that bots are here to stay. This isn't a flame topic, we all know they suck. But seeming as we have to put up with them, what can we do to use them to our advantage?(sorry if a post like this has been made before).
Here are a few of my ideas:
1. Using monkey, trace in non-aggro mob area, and use monkey to pick up drops(very good for collecting elements)
2. Sometime you can invite a bot to an exp-share party, and as he needs party for more exp, it will auto join, set trace on him, and bam, free exp

Any other ideas?

Well, yesterday I explored the Karakom area, and some high level botter didnt pick up his cash at all. I was there for like 10 mins and picked up 30k+ and got elements

Cant wait til they invent trading bot (Moogie saw something, but I havent noticed anything :S ) so I can pop em all

trade bots usually have human hunters to hunt for them. But u can always piss them off if ur high lvl XD.

Well.. I always KS giants from bots. Ill wait till the mob has like 10% hp left and then i attack it with ice. Bot has time to walk away and the giant can't move fast enough to catch it. If you want the kill for exp and make sure you get the possible item drops attack it immediately. Most bots will walk away.

Use a horse and buy 1 star (or more than that if youre confident) and put a trace on the leading trade bot. since youre using a horse and theyre all most likely using a camel and/or fire oxen, the hunters will usually find no choice but to kill your thieves.

(great for people who eats lunch infront of the computer)

It will be like an uprise for thiefs.

WHOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see what you did there.

Add SP Farming bots in your guild for GP =D

Hehehe. We have one in a guild....I wonder how we can find more of those botters. Cos most bots wont respond to guild invitations.

If your guild can't farm the GP needed, you probably can't afford the upgrade cost.

That's not true, just because it doesnt have enough members to get GP that doesnt mean it's out of rich players.
