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?

#2If the toon is moving in stiff, herky-jerky motions, and speaks in monotone, its a pretty sure bet a bot is involved.We all play afk, especially when you are in a spot where you can autokill

#6did 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 
Re: botting
#7- Obviously a bot. He even looks suspicious.

Re: botting
#9Im 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.
