We all play afk, especially when you are in a spot where you can autokill

writing a report for work or school, tap swipe.

at a boring work meeting, swipe tap.

Spouse giving you the stinkeye for playing to much, tap swipe.

Jogging, tap tap.

But when is it apparent when someone is botting?

I understand short of actually watching someone in real life (creepy), how can you tell?

If you can never tell then why make it a rule at all?

Im frustrated because i see someone on for over 24 hours, never casts or speaks, only logs at a reset and is on for weeks. there is a point of the duration that we all agree that there is an issue?...patterns play out indicating a macro?

If the toon is moving in stiff, herky-jerky motions, and speaks in monotone, its a pretty sure bet a bot is involved.

did you report him using the in game support tool? I reported one guy doing this years ago on the black birthday hat mobs. He got taken care of quickly :D

Obviously a bot. He even looks suspicious.

The person in this picture (name removed to prevent shaming) always seems to be online, although he never seems to move.
I cant think of a time I've been in the castle without seeing him standing in the exact same spot.

I did report it already. Will check back later when I get home if the dude is still there which is most likely. I'm wondering how much the dude have farmed already from Urgan. :lol:

Im from Lir as well, and Owain defintely DOES bot. He is literally on 24/7 farming that boss, doesnt speak or use skills. Quite pathetic if you ask me, I hope GMs ban him for foul play.

Isn't it tough to prove someone is botting though?
