Running around First City again, I couldn't help but head on over to the exchange to check out the lastest bot situation. Found some, duh!

(Naming and shaming removed. - BMR)

Will anyone ever do anything about these things?

    I've seen quite a few suspicious things too, like some persons always being at the Exchange or 4 very similar characters from the same fleet standing near the commander Viala, but they're just that: suspicions. You shouldn't post full names and handles here.

    Even if you had evidence of them being bots naming and shaming is against the rules, I'd recommend contacting Cryptic about those, with as much evidence as can get.

    Report them, but do not post potential player information on the forum.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    You are not allowed to name players here. You also have zero proof of anything.

    I am a real person and often my toon stands at an exchange on drozona for 2 or 3 hours. I do a few things tab out cause I'm busy doing something... tab back in. There is no rule that says I have to be staring at my toon every second. Plenty of real players pick less trafficked places to stand. If these players were really evil bots they would probably be on the bridge of a ship and you would never see them.

    Don't judge how others play the game. If you suspect something go ahead and report it... but be prepared for nothing to happen as you may well be dreaming up things that don't exist.

    That's exactly what a bot would say...
