Like was mentioned elsewhere. All you need is 1 employee to login each server daily and go penitent, shelters gate and the other places mentioned 99% of them all use the same script. Get their IP and see how many they are running from it and ban them all. You wont get the private bots/scripts but you will get the 1000’s of script kiddies that are to lazy to make their own(which are the ones ppl mostly see). After posting a screenshot of them all at shelters gate they disappeared quick
Most have given up farming gold and are just lvling to 80 and selling the accounts(a google search will find that info). The DR doesn’t affect bots(not the majority) it affects real players farming mats. Whether Anet decides to believe it or not, that’s their choice.

Sorry turrets are working as intended or Anet would have gave them a despawn timer or distance from player. Unless there is an official response I will take it as being perfectly fine to use Anet supplied bots.

So dropping engineer turrets at penitent, shelters gate and jofast’s manually and then going afk isnt exploiting? Its not a macro, its using the turrets as they are intended but should it be considered an exploit and how is it different to botting. Would like an official response to this. Anet you guys need to give a more definitive answer.

“Does it allow you to step away from the computer to heat up a pizza, talk on the phone, or sleep, while still gaining benefits?”
Engineer turrets
Ranger Guard
Pretty sure I can drop my turrets go make a coffee eat a pizza and do whatever. Why isn’t this exploiting? You gave these classes the ability to do it without macro’s.
Maybe you should be doing something about them. Its exploiting the same way you just allow it.
