On Botting and What We’re Doing About It

I reported 2 botters on Maguuma yesterday, just northwest of the Arunden waypoint, where there are lots of minotaurs. They are rangers, who teleport between a half dozen specific locations, spam attacks, and let bears tank mobs. Literally teleporting to exact locations, not even moving.

I come back today, and not only are they still there, still running the same loop, but there are about a dozen now doing the same thing.

I’m glad that 33 whole account shave been closed on each server, roughly. That certainly helps keep gold out of the hands of gold farmers on a game-wide shared trading post. :/

Today’s group literally includes characters Wangwwww, Wangiiiii, and Wangbbb
They’re not even trying to look like real players, and their account names are equally stupid.

edit: 3 different groups now in the same zone. I’m pretty much done TRYING to find anywhere to farm resources, which is essentially the end-game. This is kitten

I log in, spam mail. I enter a new zone: spam mail. map chat: spam. Try to farm anything: piles of bots.

Any small amount of actual in-game support could put a serious dent in this crap. Instead we have an auction house full of items selling at an actual loss after costs are adjusted, devaluing nearly everything but raw materials and rare drop resources, which are bot farmed.

Is this an exploit?

It’s hard to catch people just blowing up the altar when the keep is not under attack if they are using an exploit to straight up bypass the keep/walls.

Welp, the orb is in the original location now, and there are people standing on the cliff just to the west, which I don’t think is supposed to be reachable. I’m getting sad :/

We are up against Dragonbrand and Tarnished Coast. The Orb of Power was on our Altar in the garrison. Without even beginning to siege the outer gates, much less the inner gates, the Altar was destroyed. The orb reset in less time than it takes for the Altar to rebuild itself. Someone, using what I’ve heard is some engineer skill, decided to forgo actually attacking a keep by resetting a captured orb of power.

Anyone have this happen? Know the details? Seen it in action?
