You know a game has a bot problem when you can't go grinding without being suspected and being questioned about botting. Honestly, after figuring out my new PvM skill-set which is insanely efficient, I've been msged by people thinking I'm a bot more times than I can count on my hand. :(

Most people just don't know how to grind properly. One has to think of every second wasted, because after 3 hours of grinding, wasting all of those seconds adds up to a good amount of lost experience.

Perhaps I should pick up my items right when they drop, instead of when convenient for me? I go right to next monster rather than immediately picking up my drop.

Over-zealousy is bad.

There are more threads about botting than bots themselves?

Lol. j/k

Ive never been directly accused of being a bot but if definetly seen people trying to watch me and see if im a bot. You know they definetly think your a bot when they stand near you for 5 mins then randomly attack you and run off.

Really Chaby? I thought it was opposite - that they didn't pick up their items at all.

People stop and stare at/follow me too. Usually I put my char right in front of or behind them, so that it looks funny. It usually works. :wink:

ok, i know it was a joke, but people talk about things that are the most important/interesting/biggest problems ect

sure, bot-threads cant say nothing new. they wont add nothing to the forum, the community.
but the more threads about bots, the more its clear that there are a way to many of them. the more it should be clear to JM what their priority should be to make the most people happy (only calling legal players 'people'). people dont want the same event over and over again, they (we) dont want a bazilion servers, i personaly dont give a shit about funny comments whenever a GM comes online to do nothing but announce some nonsense server downtime. the majority (spelled correct? :S) of us wants the bots be gone.
everything else should come after this is done

Actually, not all. I'm sure you've seen player bots with collector pet turned off automatically cos its inventory was full. Those bots will bot for hours and leave all sorts of nice drops for you. :)

Haha, you should get your ass to the bunwangs on Alps. There are so many levelling bots there 1 hit killing those bunnies.

Thing is when they get an item drop they dont pick it up, would be good so leave your char sitting there all day getting your monkey to pick up all those botter's items. :)

i was thinking of this the other day its really sad that the community is like this.

been accused maybe over 5 times to be a botter

1. using the same 2 skills during grinding, soul cut.heaven chain
and i repeat it through out every mob.

2. was when i was out in a job suit and some bow user attacked me 3 diff times, killed him each time. then for no reason says "enjoying ur botted character".

its getting annoying when u start getting above 55, u get told uve botted or ccf alot. i wish it would change.

And for botters leaving drops im glad, ive gotten so many elixirs,str/challenge tabs, and items for elements from them.
Sometimes even armor/weps.

When people no longer ask which lvl 70's are botters but which lvl 70's are actually legit.
