Bots at dailies

Why must people who are 105 second born with R999+12 and 300+ attack levels bot in a huge group where people need to kill mobs?

Duh. Because there's nothing better to do once you get to 105 the third time and have R999+12.

best way i found to annoy bots is drop a trail of coins to make em pick the coins and make you able to kill some mobs lol it can be so easyb:laugh

Please consider what people are probably botting for and then rethink your "PWI is making money off of people buying charms" statement.

Bots aren't going away, you all might as well find a way to live with it as it is. PWI is making money on auto-recovery stones now more than EVER, I am absolutely certain their sales of charms has also risen, perhaps not as profoundly as the auto-recovery stones but increased nonetheless.

Thy added something tot he game that boosted profits... What do you think they are going to do about it? Nothing, if anything they will have a sale on charms and auto-recovery stones to give the botters a break every now and then.

Auto-culti is not going away.

I personnaly don't need auto-recovery stones nor charms to bot on my mystic. I don't know for other classes/people though

Meh... As long as they have their filters off so I can expel them to kill few mobs for quest I dont mind b:laugh

Thats an interesting idea..... Im gonna try expel on the grinding machine abusers tomorrow lol b:laugh


Also, i dont know anyone who actually bought rec stones or even charms.
Most people i see are either classes with self heal or r9 +12 who just dont need any healing since they 1 shot everything and the HP generate is way enough to keep them alive.

I didnt see anyone who bought charms from the boutique/ players at all. Event charms are so much cheaper .....

Best solution to increase the number of bots in base quests area.
I didn't understand the Mystics' ressurect part by the way

If you give a botter your Resurrect buff, the bot stops.

Interesting idea. If you do that long enough (a minute), most bots will assume they've failed and bail out. So if you can chain expel for a minute, you can boot a bot. Until people wizen up and set filters...

Practically free if your bot is set up to pick DQ items.

People are mostly botting for event gold which means free charms and free refine aids. I also doubt auto-recovery stones sales have risen either because there are classes that can bot forever (well, until their weapon breaks) such as Clerics with Sage Spirit's Gift/Demon Guardian Seal.

- Sins with Blood Paint and heavy armor (or good light armor). More lifeleech then damage taken = bot forever. They also have a skill that gives them more loot on death as I recall. Seems popular on Morai - folk are crying for APS daggers on the worldchannel.
- Mystics with triplespark and Clear Thoughts for mana replenishment. Falling Petals for selfhealing. High mana reserve required though.
- BMs. Diamond Sutra for healing, Alter Marrow for defense boosts. Popular combo against melee mobs. Mana leech on hit weapon is a good idea (annihilator of souls, demon axe).
- Archers: Trip spark for health and Winged Shell spamming for mana regen. Base attack and self buffs are usually enough to drop things. Risky to do pickups with them though. Very nice to do group autoculti with (for instance BM and archer in party - archer set up to not pick up things, BM set up to gather).
- Barb: Life on hit chance weapon and a ton of hitpoints. Simple but effective.

It's not working for me b:surrender not that I thought it would or anything

Diamond Sutra and Alter Marrow are instant skills, which tend to mess up auto-culti.

They can be made to work. I've got my autoculti running smoothly with them. Combo: Attack, attack, alter marrow, attack, attack, sutra, attack, attack. I've got max spark on a 40 second countdown as support... in the rare instances where the attack routine does freeze up, the support combo triggering resets it. Only drawback is the bot pauses briefly after using an instant skill, so it's a bit slower then 3rd party bot users (who are still bannable and easily detected by this difference).

My main problem is that the bot bugs out after about 3 hours when the weapon breaks... Devil Axes should solve that issue though. Anyone able to get me a pair?

b:laugh get ussed to it pwi is just a messed up game run by a bunch of idiotsb:laugh

Hi
My boots are filled with the botters where the dailies are. Cannot do faction base quests 90 or 100+, because there are a couple of fool botting there nonstop with their op geared characters.
A few days ago killing 15 mobs takes 30 min for 2 of us, but a single mob is just 2-3-4 hit! But i cant get a mob, when 3 bots raiding in the area! PWI, thanks for doing this! Isn't anything against this (do not tell me, that drop a few coins on ground, thats not a solution)?

Im not saying get rid of the bots because I find it kinda handy if I need to go afk for a lil while (like 10m-1hr). But I do and have experienced being on the other side of the bottter at quest mobs and such it is annyoing. Why not either make the quest mobs more abundant or make other non quest mobs more profitable/give more exp (not alot but more than normal) or give the bot program more restrictions.

Its kinda starting to get to the point where we wont have to actually play the game to play the game.
