The flower botting is getting to me...

I suppose it's hard to make any mechanic that can't be botted, but as I'm getting carpal tunnel picking flowers, it's irritating that others are off watching movies or so AFK they aren't even in their house.

Today rather took the cake. One guy was multiboxing his botting, by all appearances. The names of the two characters began the same, and one protected the very naked (gear from the beach) bot which I'd watched get flowers without being alert to his own safety. So the bigger character came and said his "little brother" was watching movies. Unh-huh. I reported it, but please, if the devs can think of a way that the flowers can't be similarly botted next year, I'd be tickled scarlet.

Either allow all of us an AFK method (and no, the 15 petals from Midsummer Provisioning is not a significant source =) or end the means for the bots to have their carefree lives. Please.

    The solution, IMO, would be to simply tie it to defeating the kobolds or to add a repeatable instance where you fight them for petals along the way.

    The real solution is for Cryptic to improve on bot detection programs. Don't get me wrong I know there will be people out there who try to make better bots to bypass the security but that's where the staff needs to be ahead of the game and locate these bot programs, find out the coding and add it to their detection programs.

    The solution is to not kill yourself picking flowers. The event is a long one, just showing up and doing the daily quest every day will get you a ton of petals already.

    Lol so true. And more than likely the person complaining about them will be banned while they continue.
